Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign? (lemmy.world)

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?

As someone who just lost a parent suddenly.

You will almost certainly regret that.

Nope, when my mom dies it will bring a weight off my shoulders, not having to make sure she doesn't know where I live. The last time she lived by us she wrote manifestos about militant lesbians forcing straight women to become like them and stapled it around work and home.

My father's death was one of the best things that happened to me.

Sure, because everyone's experience with their parents is just like yours

No they won't. I can't wait for my parents to both fucking die so I can reconnect with my sisters without them being emotionally abused.

Fuck racists, I couldn't care less how they die. They oppose my family, I spent 2 decades trying to accept my family, they didn't.
