2. It's a depressed feeling when you are out-and-about. Restaurants, Mall, Movies and much more....
...and you look at other people, knowing that around 50 percent are disgusting, uneducated Nation destroyers.
I shouldn't feel that way. Time might repair feelings.
Who wants to tell them that they are part of that "around 50 percent"?
I can't imagine having this mindset. I could give a whit who strangers (or even my neighbors) vote for and it's the LAST thing that would ever cross my mind when I'm out and about. What a sad, pathetic way to live.
I live in a rural area of WA where pretty much nobody puts bumper stickers in their cars although I occasionally see a "F*** Inslee" car sticker and I agree with how those people vote. 
When I walk into a mall or a Target I know that around 3 out of 4 adults I see voted for Harris, and/or Biden, and/or Hillary ... and I don't particularly care.
Both QFT. Yes, I'm very interested in politics, follow fairly closely, and enjoy engaging in discussions and debates about political issues. But it's not my entire identity, not do those thoughts eat up my every waking moment (maybe sometimes a few too many moments, but not very often). And unless someone is advertising their political feelings with bumper stickers, t-shirts, hats, ect, I'm not putting any thought into assuming how they voted.
So much of the division we are seeing now is because people make their ideology their identity, and then view the world as a zero sum game with only two sides. When their side doesn't win an election, or get a bill passed, these folks feel that they are losing that game, when life really just goes on and the world adjusts.
