These 'differences' are NOT philosophical. Ask those of us who have lost family members, friendships that have ended during this campaign. BECAUSE of this campaign.
You are talking about differences in fundamental ways of thinking and living that have already divided families, spouses and friends. To think that this will all magically stop now that the campaign is over is ridiculous and unrealistic. As goes the campaign, so goes the administration, behaviorally speaking.
A neolib friend of mine told me something once that I now realize is true, you cannot nuture a relationship where these kinds of differences exist. It is a recipe for heartache and disaster.
But in a way, I'm okay with it. Less distraction for me as I exert what efforts I can to resist the creation of an obamanation.
