Americans are so divided these days, it's almost like they're two separate countries at this point. It's incredibly sad and disappointing. My family lived down there for a few years in the 80s, and it was a very different place back then. Your friends and neighbors didn't give a crap whether you voted Republican or Democrat, and the feeling was that it was generally a united country with most people getting along with each other, at least from what my parents and I remember. Politics was never as divisive as it is now.
I still have a lot of friends and extended family down there (all Democrat supporters), and they tell me that the level of anxiety and overall sadness they're feeling about the direction that country is headed under Trump have reached peak levels. A good buddy of mine from Portland is seriously considering moving his family to Canada if the Dems lose, mostly because he doesn't want his kids to grow up in Trump's version of America.
