my mom is a homophobe, pro-life, leans conservative of course. she christian and could never vote or go for the liberal democrats because she's religious.
she also thinks democrats are Communists and republicans better the economy and provide jobs.
I have stopped talking about politics with her. I have considered cutting her out of my life because she has been verbally abusive to me since I was little. so if my husband had different views than me, it would be tough if they were on the end of both spectrums. my mom was an immigrant however she's not leaning right because of this but because of the other issues I mentioned. she hates that a pro life, love is love, extremely liberal for people's basic rights. but I could care less.

Let's just say it: if you're a Republican in 2020, you're a bad person, at best someone I will never associate with, and someone opposed to fundamental American values.

Raging liberal Democrat here and this is ridiculous and has to stop. We can’t keep dehumanizing people who disagree with us. Political beliefs are a spectrum and people can be conservative and good. I have a hard time seeing the rabid trump supporters as good, but trump is an extreme. Especially when considering down ballot races and initiatives, there’s lots of space for various political beliefs. We have to keep talking and we have to keep an open mind if we’re ever going to get back to getting things done.

Np I've voted for Bush, McCain, Romney, and various Republican governors in my time. Nearly all of them have come out against Trump. He's a cancer on democracy. Some Republicans may be happy he is on their side, but will they be so happy when he inspires copycats from all parts of the political spectrum. I can't be with someone who can't see this possibility.

The sex would have to be phenomenal.

We are registered with different parties but we are not so far apart that it ever causes problems. We just agree to disagree. For example, I’m Pro-Choice and my husband is Pro-Life personally, but he accepts a woman’s right to choose early in a pregnancy. Our differences aren’t so wide that it creates arguments.

OK KellyAnne.

I think it just depends how strong you both are with your views. I'm very passionate about my views but my husband is basically apolitical and passive so there's no conflict. It would be a problem if I was married to someone passionate about views opposite of mine.

I sleep on the left side of the bed and my husband sleeps on the right but we love being in the middle. Our politics are pretty much the same.

That's the way I think of it too. Your politics reflect your values. Politics is not a game or a spectator sport - the people you choose to vote for and elect make a real difference in many people's lives. Those who choose a person that will hurt others are not people of good value and character, and I would not want to be married to them.

This exactly.

Because I think that it would speak to his character.

Any man who supports banning abortions, supporting racism & believes that COVID-19 is a hoax is not someone I would even want to meet for lunch...
much less spend the rest of my life with.

Just curious, is being against open borders considered racist?

I'm pro-choice, believe people should wear masks. I am not voting for Trump, but I am voting against the progressive agenda.

Biden does not want open borders. I am very liberal and I do not want open borders.

+1 Same here.
