If Trump is defeated in November, will the amount of anger, hostility, and division decrease?

[Sir Mohamed]

I don't think so. We need to understand that Trump is just a symptom of something much bigger, especially resentment over government and institutions in general, as well as reservations about globalization and cultural changes. On top of that, social media is massively exacerbating these feelings.

Unfortunately we have entered an era of black and white thinking on many issues, even without Trump actively driving the debate. We see this over Israel and Gaza lately and already saw it at other fronts such as sharp disagreements on Covid pandemic response. It takes a lot more to change this than Trump ceasing to be a public figure.
