Election campaigns resemble more and more a political circus, and regardless of the final result, we feel relieved when it's all over.
Prior to the Election Day, candidates usually make heavy promises (jobs, money, control) to specific groups in the population, to increase the number of their voters.
In my country, for example, the lucky group that gets it all is the ultra orthodox ('haredi') community. These people provide lots of voters (each family with an average of 7-11 kids).
Almost no political coalition is possible without the 'haredi' parties. The participation in the coalition gets them close to power and money. They are in fact a 'state within a state' with budgets, schools, privileges.
Corona virus outbreak has revealed the extent of the above alarming situation. All governments past and present are blamed for it. The current PM is accused of 'selling' the country to the 'haredim', of bringing about complete disintegration of the already fragile, highly heterogeneous nation - and asked through weekly protests - to resign.
In the USA there's a lot of talk now after the elections, about "healing the nation". How, exactly?
It's not only Trump , but all those millions of people who have voted for him in 2016 and now - almost half of the nation. If from the very beginning one shows nothing but contempt for their candidate and their voting, then what is to be expected of them now. They might try to do the same to Biden and his supporters - namely, delegitimation.
Oh, well, God can make things work in the right direction. There's, however, need for praying.
