      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 🫡

    Non-American, though (rightfully) heavily invested in this election.

    Since I’m an otherwise powerless observer, we took our family to Tokyo Disneyland to help and distract us until the results are in.

    Really feels like a surreal Last Supper moment, NGL.

      That’s going to be a long trip, results probably won’t be fully tallied for a week at best.

        It’s a week in Japan in total, then a couple more weeks travelling Asia. Trying to cram in as many distractions as possible

        There’s a good chance it will be called tonight. It’s the official tallies they’re preparing people to wait for since that’s the “delay” Trump tried to abuse in 2020.

    Watch MSNBC, take a drink every time they throw to Steve Kornacki.

    Wake up from your coma in 2025. ;)

    Let’s go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this to all blow over

    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.

    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.

    We’re on a Disney movie marathon. First was The Great Mouse Detective and we just finished The Sword in the Stone. What should we watch next?
