Could you date/marry somebody if their political views were the opposite of yours?
Most people would say it's the person that matters most. But would this become a situation eventually?

No ... I doubt we would even make it through the first date.

If they are a single view zombie, that could be a dealbreaker
If they can debate valid points with an open mind they would have an edge.
If you want to know if the woman you love is the one, I suggest a long trip in a car. Did this across the country with a friend who was mostly opposite in thinking but 3 days out West and back and we are still friends 40 years later. When others see us they think we are fighting but really we are usually on the opposite end of the discussion but we speak and listen. I know lots of women in my past where I would kill them or they would kill me halfway through the first day.

Dating a Democrat would be a no go for me, much less marriage

Probably not; political views align with almost every other "view" or your morals.

I am pretty picky about women
Politicians are pretty immoral these days (both D & R)

Not opposites, but my wife is more conservative than I am. I’m more of a libertarian that voted Republican and she’s about as conservative Christian as they come. Nothing to argue about or anything like that so it works.

I'm a conservative/libertarian/anti-war Christian, and I had to cut it off with a conservative Christian girl I had been serious about
I'm not saying she might have killed me in my sleep.

And yes, she did stalk me to my job in Northwest Arkansas, from 3 hours away.
A full year later.
