    I personality know two very liberal women who married right wing nutjobs, the first one was with a full MAGA guy and she thought she could change him.

    The other one thought that political differences didn’t matter in a romantic relationship (it did).

    Both ended up in divorce.

      Has this ever worked?! Like a single time in the history of our species?

        My stepmom lived in one of the most liberal towns in Massachusetts, running a Montessori program before she and my Fox News watching dad got married. (We never actually talked about politics because they “had an agreement,” but I have to assume she was very liberal- probably not very left though)

        She started voting republican after a few years :(

      Any of those topics that people who care more about society being polite than just tell you to avoid are ones that should be not just discussed but agreed on before making a relationship legally binding. Religion, money, politics. They are each too serious for “agree to disagree” to last long.
