The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let’s just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?
Sometimes you just don’t talk about politics, to avoid fighting with in-laws. That has always been true, and it will always be true.
But I hope you don’t “go back to normal”, because hundreds of millions of Americans acting “normal” had the power to prevent this kind of scenario from occurring in the first place. Of course there’s a ton of corruption, and shady corporations and billionaires (all of them) are major culprits in the badness, but also we the people have a lot of power to fix problems if we can get ourselves organized and motivated. So let’s do that.
