Netflix’s "Love is Blind" has been a hit for eight seasons, but Season 8 took a sharp turn into politics, a stark contrast to its past. Couples debated George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, abortion, gay marriage, and Christianity’s stance on LGBTQ issues. It’s hard not to wonder if producers pushed these talks, especially since conservatives consistently ended up as the villains. Viewers wondered the same:

The show’s “social experiment” has singles bond through a wall, get engaged blind, and decide at the altar weeks later to marry or part. Politics crashed the party early.  In Episode 3, Molly and Dave cast liberals as loving and conservatives as hypocritical, and Dave strongly pushed a pro-abortion view using the less than one percent of cases to justify the other 99:

I don’t know, Dave. I’m not seeing any harmony from the left. They’re so angry, hateful, and close-minded that it’s almost become a pathology.

He’s clueless why conservatives oppose abortion (Hint: we value life). And exceptions exist for the circumstances he mentioned, but babies aren’t to blame for rape and aren’t guilty of their father’s sins.  

And birth defects don’t diminish a child’s worth. It’s a slippery slope towards the eugenics Nazis practiced when we start devaluing life based on imperfections. Doctors often misjudge with such predictions, and abortion is never medically necessary to save the mother’s life, as many doctors have testified.

Sara and Ben tackled politics, too. Sara, politicized by Trump and Floyd’s death, pressed Ben on Black Lives Matter (BLM). He dodged, asking if she’d marry someone with differing views. She said yes, then played the “Basic Human Rights” card, implying conservatives lack compassion. They got engaged anyway.

Another engaged couple clashed post-wall. Virginia, a Democrat, pushed abortion rights, stunned it’s being debated again. She then asks her fiancé, Devin, for his opinion:

Yes, Virginia, there are black Republicans. And you are talking about his dad. How magnanimous of her to allow fathers to have an opinion on whether their baby should be killed.

And note to Virginia: it’s not just the mother’s body involved in abortion. It’s the baby’s body that’s butchered and removed.

Sara and Ben meet with her lesbian sister and her sister’s partner Kelsie at a bar where Ben is shamed by Kelsie for being in a “different privilege bucket”:

Politics decided fates at the altar. Sara dumped Ben (despite calling him “perfect”) over his church’s anti-LGBTQ stance and apathy toward her causes, including “the vaccine.” One viewer congratulated Ben on X for dodging a bullet:

At the reunion, Virginia flaunted her liberal beliefs while Devin was afraid to state his publicly:

So once again, it was the conservative who was open-minded enough to love his partner despite their differences- a tolerance she couldn’t muster.

Does anyone want to tell Virginia what Muslims think of LGBTQ people? And what do they do to them in Muslim countries? She wants respect for their faith, but won’t respect Devin’s. Hypocritical much? Another viewer on X felt Devin dodged a bullet like Ben and that he should be proud of his conservative, Christian values:

As for Ben, he had to announce at the reunion he’s “not proud” of his “privilege.” How much more can these conservative, Christian men be demoralized, shamed and humiliated in the name of acceptance, love and tolerance?

Love may be blind, but it’s obviously not tolerant or kind if you’re with a liberal.
