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?

    I disagree.

    It’s not easy for them to see why Trump is a POS. They are victims of a 50 year effort by the oligarchs of this Country to destroy the poor and the middle class. They are victims of Foreign Propaganda that has taken root and grown like cancer. They have been gaslit into believing everything wrong with this Country is because of a political party, not the wealthy elite who have them fighting for crumbs.

    The American people and it’s Well have been fed a steady diet of poison and it’s led to an intense polarization, isolationism, and record level of fear.

    It’s impossible to act rationally or reasonably when scared and any one who votes for Trump is mainlining fear, uncertainty and doubt.

    They are trapped in a 1984 Orwellian distopia where their entire reality is controlled and fabricated by a fascist organization. Their level of cognitive dissonance is off the charts.

    You would not be able to convince them that the sky is blue if Trump told them it was green.
