20. I know of two longstanding marriages that ended in divorce over politics

Both divorced in 2017. The wives have gone their separate ways as have the husbands. As much as they try, they don't bring up the political differences with me, but the women now live more liberal lifestyles and the men are living, what can only be labeled extreme RW lifestyles (Talibanish theocratic in nature). Yeah, politics had nothing to do with the friction there.
