It's genuinely insidious.
If you believe them.
Both sides are talking in extremes.
You can't take anything on face value.
Things that are said by each candidate are twisted and made out to be far worse than they really would be.
And 'rumours' of utter devastaion and skulduggery if the other side wins are flowing thick and fast.
Of course that doesn't mean they aren't grounded in some fact.
I've no doubt there will be shenanigans whichever side wins.
If it's Trump, well....
You wouldn't want to be an Iranian
You wouldn't want to be a Ukranian
If you're an American your lot in life won't change much at all because...
Trump will do about a tenth of what he has said he will do.
It's populist bluster.
He will pardon the Jan 6th folk and a few others, and then head off for the golf course and be a part time president much like he was before.
There won't be the mass deportations of immigrants they talk about.
Border legislation that was held up will now pass in a similar form to what was agreed upon.
The economy will be no better or worse.
Some of the wars might actually end...but that might just be a temporary pause,
There will be a little more unease for certain sections of the community...but the reality is for these folks there has never been much change or security under Democrat rule.
Abortion laws and women's rights issues across the states will continue to be a dog's breakfast.
If Harris wins little will change.
And at the moment that is probably her major problem.
If they're happy with the last four years they'll vote Democrat
If they're not they'll bring back Trump for another go.
