Mind you, it does work for some people to have different political views and still have a decent relationship. I just think if that's a problem for you, you should address it pretty early on. Just be straightforward and say something like, 'Hey, I hate taxes, love guns, and am a freedom-loving patriot. There are women like Sarah Palin and Lauren Boebert out there, so even if you are a rightwinger there is hope (at least in that regard).

Thinking about it, it's pretty common for right-wingers to hide their power level because they are afraid of even the slightest pushback. When frankly, unless you are a literal fascist, you can do just fine in most situations, jobs, etc.

Considering my political views are somewhere between the Joker and Posadas, I do have to be "somewhat" flexible with the politics of my partner.

    My partner is an anarchist for crying out loud and we make things work.

    Not weird at all, this is an extremely common marriage dynamic. Many people especially from earlier generations (genx and older) took a very apolitical stance when it came to finding a partner. Some of it is the privilege they enjoy where politics doesn’t directly affect them, some of it is the submissive wife trope where her sociopolitical opinions aren’t important and she is just expected to fall in line behind the man.

    There was a whole thing when I was younger about celebrity couples where one was a democrat and the other was a republican, and the message was “see they can make it work”.

    Leaving out just how closely aligned their politics actually are given their class position, the political party is just window dressing.

    You know someone is proud of their views when they hide those views from their partner

    lying about your conservative politics to date women should count as some kind of assault

    they wouldn't have married you if they knew you didn't see them as people (i know some would, but shhh)

    My partner is an intelligent well-meaning liberal (in comparison to me, a terrible, ill-hearted Leninist).

    Political violence is our only major disagreement.

    She isn't a fan of the fact that if I ever get a terminal disease then it might be adventure-time for me.

    The bar is in hell and all of society expects women to be subservient and accept constant abuse. It's nearly impossible to live alone unless you're rich and many give in to have a small amount of financial comfort

    I'm a Stalin and Mao loving tankie who has happily been in a relationship with an anarchist for almost 2 years. I guess the left just does relationships better. left-unity-3

    What's more pathetic, guys like this going on twitter to brag about their wives leaving them because they are red-pilled, or guys who attend male "boot camps" to get into shape so their wife will come back and let them see the kids?

    A guy I work with just told me yesterday that his wife left him because he chose to work on the Obama campaign and declined to help get Hillary elected instead. The divorce process just started about 6 months ago. I feel like there is a ton more to the story for each one of these guys.

    At this point I'm viewing it as a clinical study in the progression of fascism symptoms in the individual. Ah yes, 100% of subjects are approaching the Divorce Threshold, past which recovery chances drop to single digits.
