I can barely keep count of the people I know who have had a falling out with family members or friends over Donald Trump, his corrosive racism, COVID denialism or his undying, narcissistic insistence that he won the 2020 presidential election.
Some have simply stopped talking to each other, some have resolved to avoid politics when they find themselves together.
And then there are families like the Reffitts of Texas, who have become unwitting symbols of the country's extreme polarization in the aftermath of the Trump presidency.
