A new dating app meant for conservative singles looking for love is getting slammed for its "perceived racism and extremism of political conservatives," according to Newsweek.
Ryann McEnany–the sister of Kayleigh McEnany, the ex-Press Secretary of former Republican President Donald Trump–endorsed the controversial dating app, called The Right Stuff, set for release next month that will romantically connect right-leaning users with "no pronouns necessary."
McEnany promoted the app in a video in which she tells followers:
“We’re sorry that you’ve had to endure years of bad dates and wasted time with people who don’t see the world our way - the right way.”
\u201cBig news! Kayleigh McEnany\u2019s sister Ryann is out with a new dating app for young conservatives called, \u2018The Right Stuff.\u2019 \u201cWe\u2019re sorry that you\u2019ve had to endure years of bad dates and wasted time with people who don\u2019t see the world our way - the right way.\u201d\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1660169389
The Right Way is described as one geared towards young singles "who know traditional is attractive."
The website for the dating app claimed that other similar apps on the market "have gone woke" and it further stated the platform connects with "people who aren’t offended by everything."
It is free to use but is by "invite only," and the website declared that if you're "single and not on this app, you ain't conservative!"
\u201c@RonFilipkowski "By invitation only" is how they kept golf courses free from black people and Jews for decades.\n\nLeave it to Conservatives to create a segregated dating app.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1660169389
McEnany explained, "For my ladies, you'll never have to pay because we all get premium subscriptions for simply inviting a couple of friends."
"Gentlemen," on the other hand, will have to pay for the upgrade.
She added that only people who identify as either of the two genders–ladies or gentlemen–can join–which is in line with the app's anti-LGBTQ+ encouragement of viewing "profiles without pronouns."
Many people ripped the conservative matchmaking platform to shreds by predicting the type of users to be expected.

\u201c@RonFilipkowski Can just imagine the match questions. Do you like long walks around burning crosses? Going for drinks and harrassing drag queens? Enjoy evenings at home watching Fox news?

Some even ruthlessly mocked the Right Way, calling it the "White" way.

The Right Way was co-founded by John McEntee–a political aide to former President Donald Trump, who reportedly said:
"We’re excited to launch The Right Stuff dating app this summer. Conservatives deserve an easy way to connect."
Daniel Huff–a Trump appointee in the Department of Housing and Urban Development–was also mentioned as a co-founder, according to CBS News.
It is also backed by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, who previously invested in Rumble, an alternative to YouTube used by conservatives.
