So, this happened.

Hey, all she did was give you life, sacrificed for you, raised you, fed you, kept you healthy, and watched you grow up, go out in the world…

...and become a psychopath.

Apparently, there's way more of this going around than there should be.

"Gayle McCormick, 77, who separated from her husband William, 81, after he voted for Trump in 2016, said, ‘I think the legacy of Trump is going to take a long time to recover from.'"

I don't think the legacy of Trump is what you need to recover from.

"Two of her grandchildren no longer speak to her because of her support for Democrat Hillary Clinton four years ago. She has also become estranged from other relatives and friends who are Trump supporters."

Sounds healthy.

"Democratic voter Rosanna Guadagno, 49, said her brother disowned her after she refused to support Trump four years ago."

I'm not exactly sure how siblings disown each other, but okay, I'll go with it. I feel like this one might be salvageable, though.

"Last year her mother suffered a stroke, but her brother - who lived in the same California city as her mother - did not let her know when their mother died six months later. She was told the news after three days in an email from her sister-in-law."

Nope.

"Jacquelyn Hammond, 47, a bartender in Asheville, North Carolina, no longer speaks to her Trump-supporting mother Carol…"

Well, at least she's not spreading her poisonous relationship with her mother to other…

"…and is also discouraging her son from speaking to her."

Never mind.

"She said she would like to heal the relationship, but believes that will be difficult, even if Trump loses the election."

Wow, she is hard to appease.

"Sarah Guth, 39, a Spanish interpreter from Denver, Colorado, said she has cut several Trump-supporting friends out of her life."

Looks like she has a lot in common with Don Lemon.

As a kind of extremely depressing upside, most people have very few friends to cut out of their lives anyway.

I have many friends who support Biden. I have many who support Trump. I have some who support Jo Jorgensen. They were my friends before, and they will be my friends after. And you know what? I have friends who I'm pretty sure might very well "disown" me if we ever really sat down and talked politics, so we don't.

Really, this is not hard, or shouldn't be.

Do not jettison your friends or relatives over politics, and do not permit them to jettison you. If they do, do not be angry with them, feel compassion for them, and treat them just as you would anyone who was suffering.

Kindness is often repaid with kindness.

Eventually.
