I feel for this woman. She’s fallen hook, line and sinker for the “I can change him... all he need is the love of a good woman!” (Been there.)
She needs to break up with him and seek therapy. Politics have nothing to do with what ails her.
After being with her, I'd suspect that the boyfriend would benefit from some serious therapy as well.
Politics is just another word for "values." Know someone's politics and you know their values. Date accordingly.
