I see what you’re saying but I think it’s an extreme assumption about what will happen under either candidate and a lot of people voting don’t feel that way.

I think it's fair to say that we don't know what will happen, and that people take multiple considerations into account when selecting a candidate. That said, I also think it's fair to make some assumptions about what will happen under each administration, because we've already had the opportunity to see what policies each candidate advanced when they were previously part of a presidential administration. I would encourage anyone voting (and I think that means everyone who can!) to use the past as a guide in this case.

Yes I totally agree. I’m just saying that people who are choosing to vote for a certain candidate and probably not assuming what a person voting for the opposite candidate is about them. Does that make sense? I’m saying we should try to see things from the other person’s perspective rather than demonizing them based on your own assumptions.

Sure, that makes sense. I know people who vote for a candidate I really dislike, and I know they are motivated by their experience with a different political regime in another country. I respect that even though I don't agree with them at all.
