Burning passions over Donald Trump's presidency are taking a personal toll on both sides of the political divide. For Gayle McCormick, it is particularly wrenching: she has separated from her husband of 22 years.
The retired California prison guard, a self-described "Democrat leaning toward socialist," was stunned when her husband casually mentioned during a lunch with friends last year that he planned to vote for Trump – a revelation she described as a "deal breaker."
"It totally undid me that he could vote for Trump," said McCormick, 73, who had not thought of leaving the conservative Republican before but felt "betrayed" by his support for Trump.
"I felt like I had been fooling myself," she said. "It opened up areas between us I had not faced before. I realized how far I had gone in my life to accept things I would have never accepted when I was younger."
Three months after the most divisive election in modern U.S. politics fractured families and upended relationships, a number of Americans say the emotional wounds are as raw as ever and show few signs of healing....

H e probably is overjoyed at that prospect.
Why did he marry a libtard in the first place? The attractive women are all on our team.
I’d ditch my husband is a heartbeat if he ever voted for a liberal...
Good grief. Mental disease.
Did you look at the photo of the ex-prison matron...er, guard? Definitely, a trannie!
Except for not accepting your husband of 22 years.
Notice the feature was her, not him. Notice it was a deal, not a commitment or vow.
Nuff said.
that was a classic post LOL. She’s definitely something leaning towards something but I can’t say it here
damn. My wife voted Trump.
He’ll feel less burdened now though, since he has just been unburdened of about 140 lbs. of dead weight, or more. He’ll wonder why it couldn’t have been sooner.
It seems the Democrat was intolerant.
maybe on the inside but you obviously haven’t been to New York City. Believe me how unfortunate it is. Many are from other states hoping to make it big.
I like Trump and my mother despises him, yet we still get along. How hard can it be?
The dumb woman is 73. She turned her back on decades of a loving — I hope — relationship just because her husband voted for Trump??? At that age, her looks and libido are gone. She will die alone, obviously, unless she has some friends.
#FAIL
Pretty much describes the landscape in my family/in-laws. Luckily, both the wife & I voted for Trump, although we’re in the minority in the tribe.
He should have a three day party ,,,,,,,
It’s easy to lean socialist when you get 90% of your peak salary in your retirement. That’s what retired California Prison Guards get. Probably close to 100K.
No biggie.
I ditched some “friends” when they signed me
up for Obama email updates when Odunga first ran.
Some advice for all you whipper-snappers reading this.
Chose friends who are smarter than yourself.
I’ll never get married again, to a libtard or otherwise. In fact, I just recently got a vasectomy, so now I will just pump-and-dump. Libtard women are great for that.
I won’t tell any new women that I got a vasectomy, so if they try the old trick “I’m pregnant” to try and trap me, my response will be “Tell the father that I’m happy for him”. (Vasectomy is the MGTOW version of a nuke)
That woman is a poster-child for why men need to go MGTOW. (Men-Going-Their-Own-Way)
