In Georgia, a couple married 23 years had always had mild disagreements over politics. It's different now. “The Bushes were hard years,” said Maryann Meador, whose husband is a Trump supporter. “But we really didn’t get into screaming matches about it.”http://nyti.ms/2nN6o00

Partisan identification is now a bigger wedge between Americans than race, gender, religion or level of education. 35% of Democrats, a Pew survey last year found, said learning that a friend had voted for Trump would put a strain on their relationship.http://nyti.ms/2nN6o00

My brother a republican & I a liberal Democrat stopped speaking to each other after the election. I than called him & we both promise to not talk about politics. I’m glad I have my brother back.

In other words, Putin's goal of dividing this nation has been met. What a sad commentary on society that "agree to disagree" and respect for divergent points of view are problems in AMERICA.

Bush supporters I could deal with. At least they weren't pro Russia. But Trump supporters? How? They support Russia, White supremacy, family separations. It's a bridge too far for me. Fortunately. none of my siblings support trump.

My father is a vocal
@realDonaldTrump supporter but I would never stop speaking to him. I was raised to speak my mind. By him. We have loud disagreements and then sit down as a family and eat. None of us back down. We just find other things to talk aboutThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I don’t need family if they are Trump supporter unless they ask for forgiveness for voting him. Too stupid and too arrogant to be my friend or family. That type of stupid doesn’t get better. And when the time comes, I may need to take action against them. Libs will be violent!
