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?

Or, do what a disturbing number of people have done and make them the centrepiece of your entire life.

Posters all over your house, stickers and flags all over your mobility scooter, hats, T-shirts, the lot.

One of our neighbors had a MAGA collar for their dog...THEIR DOG. Why do they need to drag their DOG into this? He was a good boy. (Was, because the dog passed away from cancer a year or two ago.)
