Is Trump good for us or is he simply another manipulator like Putin is for Russia?

I have heard a lot of controversy on the subject of Trump vs Kamala Harris. Living in America, you should know that most elections are very tense nowadays and that there is always a lot of controversy between both parties. What are everyone's opinions on this years election?

A very important question for all of us to consider (even those of us who aren't american)
One thing i don't like is how Trump seems to heavily favor Neo-christianity to the point that he would oppress any other beliefs or practices through legislation. That scares me. Another thing I really do not like to hear out of a politicians mouth is "you'll never have to vote again" which Trump said as a bid to appeal to his "christian" fanbase. My understanding is that voting is a RIGHT, not a burden. I also do not support the idea of a politician creating a force of people loyal to their cause to specifically enforce their own individual desires onto the people, and then also claim that they will send that force to occupy "liberal cities"
All of these things very closely mirror a certain politicians actions, a certain politician, who did terrible things to people and brought terrible shame to an entire country that still has a tremendous impact on them even to this very day.
No. Trump can suck it.

Do people honestly care? Do people still believe that we have sincerely democratically elected representatives who care about us and are not here to instill polarised dichotomies in order to keep us occupied and unfocused?

I think people feel that the only choice is the lesser evil. We all are so divided, by design, and people are just so consumed by their own fear of being forgotten in the "big picture" that they all have to be defensive and reactive to survive.
I think we all feel this in some way. I just think we are all too different and there's just too many of us with too many differing opinions.
At this point, the only thing that i think would unite us is a massive global enemy that is undeniably a threat to every single soul on this planet, but i just don't think that'll happen. To be honest, this is one of the reasons i'm kind of glad my body will perish. The idea of getting to finally leave this awful place brings me a sense of peace, even if it is a bit morbid. I think anyone who has really dived into human history can see that we really don't learn anything at all, no matter how much time has passed or how many times we face an issue. Our lives and attention spans are too short.
