From disputes to a breakup: wounds still raw after U.S. election
Reuters ^ | February 7, 2017 | John Whitesides

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.

She, the tolerant, hate-free, socialist broke up with him!

He is one lucky fellow to be free of her.

The husband is lucky to get rid of that old hag. Now he does not have to take care of her in her old age. There are plenty of women in his age bracket who would love to have him.

Trump supporter to his nagging emotional Democrat wife:

Subject: Attendance...

I don’t know (nor do I care) how many attended Trump’s inauguration. But I can tell you exactly how many people attended Hillary’s inauguration. And that’s the only number that matters.

Your Loving Husband

She will probably get kicked off an airline flight for harassing a fellow passenger who just happened to mention that he was Trump supporter.

Its been reported that Gayle McCormick is one nasty bit%h that had beat her husband of 20) years because he didn't vote “liberal”. The about to be ex-husband is down at the corner bar celebrating.

Once again we see that the anti-Trump leftist is the one who initiated the split.

"It totally undid me that he could vote for Trump," said McCormick, 73,

This story is essentially Reuters threatening conservatives. Their message is to shut up and let the hysterical leftwing bigotry win lest it cost you personally. So they set out to look for examples of how to make the threat.

I am sorry Reuters, but put your threats where there is a pronounced lack of sun shine. No matter how much leftwingers threaten to hold their breath, Americans have started to see that reason and common sense can win over your tyranny of perpetually being offended.

Who cares!

Even if true, this is another very weak not even news.

It is so weak, it can’t be classified as fake news.

The fact that Reuters is treating this not really is news as news, is proof how hard up the mediots of the left are for anything to print against Trump.

Its liberals. They are absolutely intolerant of Conservatives, whereas most Conservatives I know can tolerate liberals, as long as they dont bring sensitive subjects up. With Liberals, however, just the KNOWLEDGE that a conservative holds certain views, is too much for them, makes them intolerant.

They are like children, spoiled little children.

The most ironic thing about all of this is that the media instigates discord in waves day and night provoking emotionally belligerent people to act on their greatly amplified anxieties, pre-established prejudices, and preconceived notions.

And since people are cockier, dumber, have greater violent tendencies (especially when they don’t get their own way), and are growing more and more uncivil, it is causing a very dangerous and unstable atmosphere.

We have a nation of emotional infants (regardless if they are as young as 15 years old, or as old as 78) and the only way to expose and deflate their influence is to be smart, guarded, mature, and humble. Believe me, they don’t know and don’t care how they come off, and the louder they become, the more people with an ounce of sanity will be turned off by their behavior and the causes that they endorse.
