Could you be married to someone who is a liberal?

My ex definitely had cognitive dissonance, but I discovered it after the fact.

Her dad (also a yellow-dog democrat) once told me that welfare was good for the economy.

Hell no I can’t stand liberal crap on tv much less having to look it in the face and not be able to turn it off. Have a conservative buddy married to a liberal and I don’t know how he does it.

I was ... for 24 years.

Key word being "was."

We don't talk anymore, since Trump was elected.

It wasn't that important back when we married in the 70s, but it became very important.

Been married to my current and last wife for a long time since. Never been happier in my life. Staunch Conservative with strict Constitutional values.

Being politically aligned with your significant other is important in life, now moreso than ever.

Opposites attraxt but can make for a miserable marriage.

I was previously married to a lib. she was in the closet though, didn't even realize it herself until I pointed it out. needless to say, we didn't last long after that revelation.

Is hardcore SJW worse than Bernie? I think they are both so far gone, that it would be difficult.
I could if it was just a left leaning liberal that wasn’t shoving it in people’s face all the time. Sometimes it is good to have people around like that to help me balance. Plus she would have to be an OT 10 to balance it.

No, no, no, no, no. I couldn't even date a liberal.

The Bible says not to be unequally yoked together

---

But let there be spaces in your togetherness.
And let the winds of heaven dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but each one of you be
alone--even as the strings of a lute are alone though the quiver
with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not in each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the Cyprus grow not in each other's shadows.

[Kahlil Gibran; "The Prophet"; c.1923]

And now for something completely different——Neither Progressives or wives are likely to understand or accept human nature. Sharing life with the vast majority of women, regardless of political ideology, is a bit like sharing life with a Progressive. All emotions, very little rational thinking.

With apologies to you few rational lady Unicorns.

My GF and all her sisters are MAGA AF
