But can electromagnetism at all emerge if the quantum mechanics dont exist to emerge things like magnetism and some of the behavior of electrons?

Well yeah, sure. Earlier you said something like "electromagentism is caused by quantum phenomena," but you can say that about almost every object and behavior in the universe! We don't have a theory of everything but the standard model and quantum field theory explain a lot.

“Caused” was not a good term but like i said i made that comment half jokingly

I find that almost everything can be boiled down to just be a display of quantum mechanics which is why id place it as more fundamental.

I cant really say that about gravity/spacetime though. Maybe someday we do find that it also is but for now it seems to be distinct.
