When I met my wife she was a raging liberal, but she was young too so I didn't rule her out. Over time I could tell that she really hadn't made up her mind about a lot of the issues she said she supported and much of it was "received opinion".
But her faith is what made me realize she was different and the conversations I had with her made me realize she had just never been exposed to an authentic explanation of conservative and classically liberal ideals.
She had been inculcated with these Marxist ideas since she was in elementary school but as soon as she really scrutinized them she realized how she had been lied to and it really opened her eyes.
She is a full-on red pill dispenser on social media now, and in a way that I could never do. She is plugged in to all her Marxist "friends" from school on social media so she has access to them in a way we could only dream. You should see some of the responses she gets. One of her girl "friends" said to stop posting the stuff about Joe Biden being a pedo because "it was making it harder for her to vote for him". I seriously believe she had changed votes this election, based on what I hear from her friends. At lot of their feedback is positive too. A lot more than I ever thought she'd get, that is for sure.
She has lost something like 100 "friends" since the beginning of the year from people removing her. It is her badge of honor. She says she is going for 200 by the election. "Fuck em, thank you" were her actual words when I asked how she felt about it. Couldn't be any more proud of her.
Just keep that in mind, my wife is incredible. If I would've had the same rule as you describe I would've disqualified her, which frankly makes me shudder thinking about, God help me if I had.
But I'm also not saying your rule does not have merit, it absolutely does.
There are just many flavors of liberal and the good women are worth figuring out which kind they are because they might be worth attempting to convert.
That being said, I also think once you're dating someone 26-30+ years old, that rule is a lot more useful.
Your chances of converting someone at that point in their lives are not extremely high.
