I couldn't imagine marrying someone with totally opposing political views. Disagreements on some issues sure, but totally opposing political views is essentially like having totally opposing values, morals and ethics to a degree, etc. Base things that play a role in determining compatibility.

Dating someone with opposing views is the easier of two situations people can find themselves in.

The harder situation is when you date and marry someone with similar views to yours, but then 5, 10, 15, etc years into the marriage they get radicalized by family members or YouTube. And suddenly their opinions change overnight and you are legally bound to an angry, hostile stranger.

The good old dehu-Manosphere. Malignant, cancerous trash run by grifters and signal boosted by insecure mysognists.

Edit: I see we have some fans of Joe Rogaine, Jordan Small-Peterson, and or Andrew T-hate on here.

I thought I was going crazy when this person I went on a couple dates with told me she was gonna pursue the other guy. She had said he was a Trump supporter and was offended at some things he’d said to her. Must have had she face of a movie star and a genius in bed. I was pretty offended, but whatever.

My partner is a refugee who escaped a regime that locked her up for advocating for democracy, so I clearly won.

Some women never grow out of their "bad boys" phase, so there's that.
