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.

Article is pretty long but it's even got a quote from a mother who has stopped speaking to her 2 sons because they votes for Trump.

    My dad voted for Trump. We're still cool with him, but political discussion has now been taken completely off the table for family peace. It doesn't surprise me, he is white, or so he thought. He took a Ancestry test a few months ago because people always tell him he doesn't look all white. Turns out he 40% black, which comes as a shock to him since he didn't so much as even know any black people coming up. Both of his parents are dead to so no one can even come clean about it. Needless to say, hilarity has ensued.

    So you ain't a true mulatto
