On the 2020 Election

General
Not often that I open much about politics, but here we go! For my foreign dudes, prepare to be confused!
I guess it goes without saying that whoever won the election, I wish them well and hope they do a good job at Oval Office. With that said, there is something I like to address. One thing that always bothered about politics, isn't so much the candidates or the people that run the country, but rather the disturbing impassioned reactions of whoever side. Disagreeing is one thing, but when you demonize the other and create more enemies like that, it tarnishes what your movement represents. Not only that, creating these rifts among family and friends over what some may call "minute" views could seriously hurt your mental state. I get that we all have a drive to do what's right and to follow our convictions, but this sort of reaction doesn't get anyone anywhere. You can be friends with a Democrat or Republican, without resulting into the mire of tribalism. In other words, just talk it out!
Stay fresh my friends

Yeah polarization in culture has gone into overdrive these past 5 or so years. It's insane how little people get so upset about someone else mildly supporting other-guy anymore.

OP
Let alone mildly agreeing a point with the other. It's funny when this stuff happens on the internet, but when it seems into real-life, it's just pathetic and sad.
