Call me a dreamer, but I’m not too worried about the future of our democracy regardless of whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris wins the presidential election Tuesday.
I have no doubt there will be protests across the country, no matter who is the victor, and that’s concerning.
Yet, I also have faith that our system of government will survive.
That’s not the rhetoric we’ve heard from the candidates and their campaigns, however.
Both Trump and Harris have leaned in to calling their opponent a threat to democracy and used fear tactics as a way to turn out their supporters.
Opinion:Biden calls Trump supporters 'garbage.' It fits mold of Dems insulting opponents.
Trump has framed Harris as a far-left extremist who would turn the United States into a Marxist mecca.
Harris has called Trump a fascist, unhinged and a tyrant.
All this has Americans on edge, with a lot of people honestly fearing for the future of our country.
That’s a shame.
