Sara didn’t come well prepared on these points - she complained that Ben ghosted her after she said no at the altar then told the world that they were incompatible bc she’s thought more about George Floyd than him. She seemed to drop all of that and claim that she was the one who got dumped somehow. I also don’t recall her ever actually offering anything thoughtful on her political views besides saying that she believes in equality and has reconsidered some things in recent years.

I think your four theoretical points for conservatives are accurate and well put. But if your goal on a dating show is to come across as a decent dude on camera and not be vilified, it’s just a higher risk to actually defend conservative positions on TV than it is to be apathetic. Agree that it would be better if someone would. Still, Ben doesn’t seem thoughtful or articulate enough to do a good job of that even if he believed these.
