Still not a good fit.

25 is far too young to settle for someone who believes in fundamentally different things that are important to you.

Yep. Either way, this big difference in their values means they'll probably disagree a lot about how to spend their money as a couple, how to raise any children, and the kinds of social circles they want to join.

Better to break up now.

Good for her. Someone voting for a convicted rapist is a MAJOR red flag in a relationship.

I've been married a long time, we never discuss politics. I have no idea who my spouse has ever voted for.

My DS dropped his girlfriend of five years (both in grad school) and informed us of this very casually shortly after the election. We are shocked! They seemed so good together and talked of marriage once school was behind both of them. Of course I asked why even though it’s not something I would normally do. I’m more of the are you okay and let me know if you need anything kind of parent. His answer, I cannot take four years or longer out of my life of being told men are evil and I f g hate them. He said life’s just too short and he just wants to enjoy it, enjoy his work and enjoy his friendships without over analyzing every single moment or person. People really need to stop making politics the center of their personal being. It’s just not healthy.

Good for him to free her from him

Strong political beliefs are not exactly attractive in a woman. OP's daughter will probably replace the bf easily, but the issue is whether the next guy will be an upgrade or downgrade.

She had no idea he felt the day he did, is it normally to brake up with someone mostly because of politics reasons? She's a 25 year old preschool teacher.

I would divorce over it in this case.

+1
But if the dd voted for the rapist, it's better she let a decent man find a decent woman and she can find another rape supporter to share her views with

And why be secretive about who she voted for. Is she a Trumper?

OP didn't say who her daughter voted for.

What a gross outlook. I'm glad women have a political voice and choice. People who don't care about this stuff are lacking depth of character.

This response is exactly what DS was talking about, I see how it can and is exhausting to live with for anyone. You sound like you may need some anger management help. Good luck.
