No, there is nothing you can do about a woman who slavishly follows a husband's politics. I know they're out there. I've worked with quite a few of them, and as you said, they were good people otherwise.The women had little interest in politics, and let hubby lead the way. I never wanted to meet their husbands, I suspect the same could not be said about them.
I guess some women are Eve's descendants. Others are Lilith's. I'm definitely a Lilith.
