Me: get high and worry about nothing.
I’m watching Star Trek and keeping my phone on do not disturb
As you watch the results remember the “red mirage” - a well known phenomenon where Republican candidates take an early lead because Republican votes get reported early. This is simply because Republicans tend to live in smaller towns and low-population areas, which finish their vote counting sooner because there are fewer ballots. Democrats tend to live in denser urban areas that take longer to count, so their votes show up later; this is known as the “blue shift”.
You can see the red mirage happening right now… 45 minutes ago Trump had 23 electoral votes and Harris 7. Now it’s Trump 95 Harris 35. This should even out as the counts from the cities start to roll in.
Trump is planning to declare victory early in the night before the blue shift occurs, so his followers can turn off the TV and go to bed happy. Then when the final count shows Harris on top they will “know” the election was stolen because in their minds they “saw” him win.
It’s not looking good. RIP USA, we had a good run
I’m playing D&D in 30 minutes
I’m refreshing the map constantly
I am just waiting it out and getting the news when it gets posted(im european tho this election sadly effects me and a lot of other people who are outside the us)
I’m making chilli
I need 3 Grand Slam Chili Stampedes - one with extra onions, one with extra chili and extra onions, and one with extra chili and extra extra onions.
Unless either candidate OVERWHELMINGLY wins, there’s not going to be anything tonight, and probably not tomorrow. The last of the swing states won’t close polls until 8p (Mountain time, I think). Trump is almost certainly going to declare that he is the winner “by a lot”. Best case, we’ll know tomorrow morning.
So take a couple alprazolam, drink a couple shots, and black out until tomorrow.
Plus, it could take a week for Arizona to count their votes.
Or, as it is the Fifth of November, watch V for Vendetta.
Then bomb Congress!
No wait.

I’m about to go get a bottle of whiskey and try to get through this
You didn’t already get

Let’s go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this to all blow over
Or: stop worrying because this election was decided months ago on the day that Biden dropped out.
Edit: Oh look, getting downvoted for telling people the truth instead of hyping up a non-issue.
Lol no, that’s not why.
Decided how?
As in, the result became inevitable, was locked in, not even Elon Musk and $200 million wasted on a PAC could change the course of future history.
So you think that Kamala is destined to be President?
And then worry.
The only message that matters right now.
I’m not American and I cannot vote for an American President. If you’re American and have not yet voted, please do so as soon as possible. If you have voted, thank you for your service 🫡
