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?

We haven't really since all this far right bullshit started. It gets less intense after elections, but it's different from before: When the elections ended, things did pretty much go back to normal. This shit is a plague on humanity and it's happening all over the place. I think it's being driven by billionaires and corporate conglomerates, look at the history channel for example: They stopped showing actual history and now just air bullshit reality TV, like they want people to forget the horrors of fascism.

Elon turning Twitter into a Nazi bar, Bezos quashing the WaPo endorsement, Peter Thiel and all his bullshit, Putin and his oligarch buddies: This shit is a concerted effort to bring back some of the most horrific shit humanity has perpetrated just so they can keep on getting richer and maintain their power.
