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?

    Idk maybe I’m getting older, but I’ve been through enough elections in my life to step back and see that this happens every time. The Internet turns to shit and everyone flings shit for a few days and then it’s back to normal.

    I feel like I’m past my prime in caring as much this year. My battles were fought in the past and now I’m disinterested in politics because I’ve been disappointed every time.

      Past elections didn’t have one of the candidates spouting Nazi rhetoric, though. I think this election is a whole lot different (and holds more at stake) than Bush vs Gore, for example.
