to confer "soul-mate" status on them, I'd already know they weren't a racist. If they were, they'd never get to be my soul-mate because I'd have long since 86'd their bigoted ass out of my life. However, assuming this person did manage to conceal his racism and Trumpism, but now you've found out, you'll have to decide whether your soul really does want to mate with someone like that...
