Immediate family - if they are hopeless, no. The same goes for far-left lunatics.

You don't just marry your spouse, you also marry the family.

define a far left lunatic?

Someone who sees almost zero compromise with a conservative-minded person.

click to expand

you would have to define conservative.

if you define far right as libertarianism

then far left which would be anarchism would have some things in common.

and then there are also gradations.

there are those on the left who don't want their tax dollars to go towards killing innocent people

or corporate bailouts

and some libertarians who also want the same things.

I have the opposite issue...my husband's family is anti-Trump but I found out after we got married that my husband loves Trump and apparently voted for him (his mom didn't even know about this). To date I have no idea if he's strongly trolling about this or if he really loves Trump because he always says he's not joking ??

I've learned to accept differences in other people. Religious beliefs and political beliefs are personal to that individual, and as long as those beliefs don't encroach on my own, I would have been fine with dating the person.

Learning to agree to disagree.

It's the same for my friendships. I can be friends with two people who hate each other due to political beliefs and still have my own beliefs intact. However, recent events are making me reassess this standpoint of mine. I recently had to sever all contact with a friend who happens to be a staunch Boris Johnson supporter.

Would you continue to date someone after finding out they came from a family of trump supporters?

Trump...Obama... same difference to me aside from Obamacare.

In other words, I wouldn't care. 🤷🏾‍♀️ What counts are their true views on humanity and social issues.

Yes. It’s not in whether they support him, but how extreme are their views. I’m about balance not extremes. My ex and I always cancelled each other’s votes out lol
