When I think about how politicians influence our lives it is mostly about their ability to send people off to war or support proxy wars.

When I think about how politicians influence our lives it is mostly about their ability to send people off to war or support proxy wars. There is no idiot with a gun, knife or vile of acid that can compare as a mass murderer to politicians. Without the ability of viewing dual reality, we cannot know if Trump or Harris would bring us more of the violence and death than the other.
We've made strides in the systemic (laws) level about things that affect equality, but people don't change because a law was passed. People and their attitudes were not going to change because of who won the election. It just changes who reacts and how and that is generally the people who didn't get their way. The winners are generally not the ones who riot, loot and commit arson.
Quoting the late internet curmudgeon Fred Reed, "Anything that might help is politically impossible, and anything politically possible won’t help. So, after the riots: Social division will worsen after the riots."
I believe that the only thing that can help is communication free of screaming insults and creating strawmen to avoid understanding anything other than what we already believe. It seems to be an impossibility, but it is my hope. The politicians can't fix that.
