I envy you guys for managing to hold peaceful elections. Where I come from, there has to be tribalism which usually translates to violence and unnecessary chaos. If we can argue via ballot boxes and online platforms, it would be the best thing ever.

Thank you @tezmel for recognizing this truth. As uncivilized as some appear, we do manage as a country to live 'harmoniously' with each other. I see it as God's Hand of protection.
That said, we have free will, and we teeter-totter on the edge of civil unrest; but, as long as the economy doesn't totally crash, I expect we, as a country, will be okay.
U.S. politics is a lot like sports. Two teams play against the other, one wins, and the voters of the other says 'next time' until the next election...Elections are an adrenaline rush; until they're over. And then, it becomes business as usual.
Peace.
It's good to recognise what is there to be recognised. Your living 'harmoniously' with each other is felt during elections but it's also good to say that it's not always there. With this, I mean the racism... Which is more like 'classy' tribalism to me.
The world needs to heal.

As with any nation, it's a choice.
Either you accept that we were all created by God, and we all bleed red, or foolishly believe that God created a skin color better than another's...
It's all a mindset, and nothing new under the sun. Racism is not limited to one race or other. There are racists in all races. As you might know, there is even racism within the races in some cases.
For the majority, people live amongst each other, free to be who they choose, in as mentioned, respectful harmony. I have to say that's a minuscule of what makes the U.S. a strong nation; and, should never be taken for granted.
Best regards.
Peace.
That's interesting. It feels ridiculously not peaceful, but you make an excellent point!
I have seen hundreds get buried over it so to me your end is much better if you asked me.
