Politics feels like an integral part of finding a partner nowadays. Which makes sense—values are important to agree upon.
Really depends on the region. There's lots of opinions/ideas/directions/parties in many countries with lots of overlap. In the US... I'm not sure how relationships, that actually talk about things, can survive if partners have different party preferences.
The width of the spectrum of political views for 65% of people used to be relatively narrow.
That's increasingly not the case.
