Sadly no. The reality is both sides are demonizing each other to the point where both feel comfortable portraying the other as the enemy. It's terrifying if you have even a modicum of common sense. Just cause someone likes a different politician doesn't make them a Nazi, a communist, or any of the words the left and right are throwing around. It's not normal. And pretending it is is just weird.
You've introduced a lot of noise around the simple fact that only one candidate is unwilling to accept the results of the election. It's scary that you can convince yourself otherwise with enough distraction.
Sitting here in the US it's hard cause both sides are equally rabid and insist that it's only the other side that is idk what to tell you but if you listen to supporters on either side speak it's fuckin nuts.
I know it's hard but you have to stick to the facts. Don't let russian propagandists in beanies tell you otherwise.
