That’s why these conservatives who date/marry liberals never make sense to me. How could you even TALK to people like that every day - much less form a family????
In my experience, the liberal/conservative marriages start off fine. The couple just avoids politics altogether.
The fun starts when the kids come along. Same with Christian/Jewish couples. It’s all about mutual respect and tolerance until you have to decide which religion/beliefs to pick for the kids. Then it’s either a little of each, none at all, or divorce.
The majority of my family (Mom, Dad, aunts, uncles, etc) are all liberals. I just dropped a few of them from my friends list on FaceBook. One of my cousins (she was a teacher in CA for years) has a pictorial shrine to Che hanging on the wall in her hallway. I have nothing in common with any of them and avoid at all costs.
Dad’s ok. He doesn’t get into talking’ politics but my mom is another story....at least she was until she had a stroke 2-1/2 yrs ago. She and I got into a rip-roarin’ argument over the phone about 3 yrs ago.
