I have personally spoken with a good many leftists and Democrats who have openly told me they have cut people from their life over politics in the last couple of years, it does not seem to be as much of a trait with conservatives I have spoken with. I have heard from people who have been completely cut off from their own grandchildren over their political beliefs - I can't even imagine how painful that has to be! Another story that broke my heart was a lady I know and her husband - in their 60s - who have completely cut ties and turned their backs ON THEIR OWN ELDERLY PARENTS. I even asked her, do they not think that they are potentially losing their last precious bit of time with them? and she seemed completely unbothered by it. I honestly cannot fathom this behavior - indeed, many seem to almost be bragging that they have sacrificed these relationships! I don't have a solution, but just know it seems to be very common and may not be a reflection of you personally.
Thank you for your comments. Yes, I think it's that people are getting wound up in the political power plays and forgetting that which is truly important.
