Well, it’s the big day. Election day! We have gotten through so much together in just the past few months: Melania’s body double, Trump getting COVID-19 then consuming fetal cells like a milkshake to heal, trying to save democracy by buying stamps from the USPS, a fly on Mike Pence’s head, and more Trump memes than we can reasonably process, no matter how funny they are. And yet, there are still hours of uncertainty ahead. It’s a lot.
If you feel alone in your Election Day anxiety, please know that you are not.

Election Day should be a paid federal holiday so everyone has the opportunity to vote and I can stare at my phone until the results come in.
