Damit sich was verändert, müssten schon beide Seite aufeinander zugehen. Macht jede Seite keinen Schritt nach vorne mit dem Verweis auf die jeweilige andere Seite, wird sich nichts verbessern.

Aus dem Spectator (Kate Andrews) ein paar Vorschläge hierzu:

There is going to be a lot of pressure now for Democrats to tone down their rhetoric about Trump as a ‘dictator’ and ‘despot’: the kind of words people use around the world to justify political uprisings. Critical questions put to the Democrats about what kinds of outcomes they expected when they referred to the former president as an ‘existential threat’ to the United States.
Meanwhile, Republicans might stop referring to the current President as a ‘criminal’. Election results could be respected. Attempts to imprison political opponents could be wound down. As I wrote for this magazine in the spring, America, once a free and fair nation, is quickly acquiring the habit of prosecuting political opponents.

The nation must grapple with this possibility now (gemeint ist ein Trumpsieg im November), and prepare for how it will handle any outcome with civility. Or we can keep going as we have been – but we can no longer feign ignorance to how deadly the consequences are.
