What's sad about this election (and almost every election in the US) is that instead of a group of people coming together to demand a better nation, better policies ; saying I won't vote for you unless you do this and that - to hypserstition different ways of doing things while educating ourselves and eachother - we get the narcissism of small difference. Honestly both candidates are absolute garbage. If you think one is going to do something better than the other the jokes on you. I voted Kamala because I can't stand championing ignorance- boasting about not reading, mispronouncing people's names and places, making fun of people. I don't want more of another celebrity famous for being famous. 

Re: things aren’t that bad and we can overcome + America will probably be fine either way.

the magnum opus paradox: significant progress and resilience often go unnoticed or underappreciated—an ignotum.
