Can couples keep their marriages together if they disagree on politics? I know when I was growing up, my parents voted differently but I have two different friends whose wives are leaving them because of who they voted for. my wife and I seem to be on the same political page, so I'm having trouble understanding why some people would choose to divorce over who their partner voted for

I’m working with a financial education startup that is looking for an animator or team of animators that can produce 10-20 2Danimated explainer-videos (possibly a lot more in the future). 60-90seconds in length each.
They want to prioritize comprehension (function>fashion), with just a bit more style than what you can see of their past videos on their front page: https://learnfinlit.com/

Things are different than they used to be. Politics is no longer about disagreeing on tax spending or things like that. Now it's one side wanting everyone to have basic human rights, climate change action, and wanting programs that actually serve us, and the other side so full of hate and ignoring basic science. I would not stay married to someone who voted against basic human rights. But that is just me
I think people today didn't know how to disagree without taking it personally, which is a big problem for society, but I also think it really takes away from the ability to think independently and grow as a person.

I think things are different now, particularly for women and members of the LGBT+ community. For example, due to medical issues another pregnancy could kill me, so being with someone pro-choice is important to me. I have many friends and loved ones who are LGBT+, so I wouldn’t be with someone who can’t accept a member of that community. It’s about more nowadays than just differences in opinion on, say, tax policies, etc.
I disagree it’s about people “not being able to disagree without taking it personally” because a lot of this stuff actually affects people personally and I think that’s valid.
Because politics has become a “morality” game, I personally never would have married my partner if we had different political views. Being in a marriage is about being on the same team and same front on ALL things. That includes the polling place. Sure there are things that we do not agree on, but we always come together to agree on who we vote for and what we support.
My husband and I share common perspectives on certain matters while holding differing views on others. We approach these differences with mutual respect, choosing to agree to disagree and continue our discussions constructively.
