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?

This has been the norm since 2016. Until the GOP unilaterally rejects Trumpism, this will be how it is every four years.

You sure there is a 'every four years' then?

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

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

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.
