Default EM force of attraction

We say that EM forces are caused by the exchange of particles, explaining
that an electron fires off a photon towards another electron when they are
close, causing the other electron to recoil away - the force of repulsion.
But how do we explain the force of attraction using the same physical
process? Why does a photon fired off by an electron cause a proton to move
towards the electron (force of attraction)?

Rather than think of it in terms of photons propagating between the
particles, think of it as each charge is a vector field, then SUM the
vectors and take the square of the magnitude at each point. This will give
you a diagram of the energy density distribution. The force on the particles
always acts to minimize the energy, regarless of how it is described by
Classical or Quantum mechanics.

Just flip the signs.

Default EM force of attraction

Here is how I think it works:
Disregard the wysiwyg forces and contemplate the cause of the effect. The
cause is a dynamic electrical field putting the squeeze on a charged
partical in motion. When a charged partical in motion is in the area being
painted by a dynamic electrical field, it experiences a re-direction of its
own inertia, achieving a path of least resistance. The only thing that
bridges the gap is dynamic electrical fields, Ampere told us about them. The
force we observe is local only and doest not bridge the gap to achieve
action at a distance. Of course the configuration of the dynamic electrical
fields has varied attributes configured by its host materials,
The force we observe is a wysiwyg illusion which follows observible
algorythem of dedicated forces.
