Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?locked

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?

You're right, the other side of the coin that I forgot to mention is, "Trumpism wins and turns America into a fascist dictatorship".

Only on day one he said

Ah, so we're only going to be subject to the whims of a fascist dictator for the first 24 hours? What a relief! And it's a good thing he's got a track record for voluntarily and peacefully giving up power, or else I might suspect he wouldn't think twice about holding on to that power until his dying breath. /s

Hmm due to text based communication, what I said was in no way meant to be pro trump, I wanted to clarify

Ah, your comment reads to me like you were emphasizing "only" day one, implying that he would relinquish that power the following day. Happy to hear you elaborate on what you meant.

Yeah, I see how it could have come across as making an excuse for him. Of course being a dictator for a day would be all he needs to make it eternal.
