I love this, especially because I'll be one of those annoying Euro-philes everyone should disinvite, watching from Sweden, several time-zones removed.
So I've made Calendar invites for myself to stage our family "Election Brunch" for Wednesday morning, our-time (Late Night in your run-down). Maybe it's easier to go the distance when you've just started the day rather than groggily slouching toward its ending?
Or you can pay it no mind tomorrow and then wake up Wednesday and take in the results while sipping coffee. ;-) In 2016 I spent the last few hours of the evening sitting on the couch enjoying a stiff drink and looking at the results with bemusement. I also laughed at how wrong so many of the pollsters got it. In 2020, well, I felt dread reading the folks on Twitter crying that fraud was the reason Trump was going down. "This is not good" was my feeling.
I appreciate all of the advice but I feel like I've become someone who can only pay attention to the election if I like where the results are headed. The Trump era has made me dread most politics and infused everything with a sense that any election could be the last. It's hard not to fear that these nights could become foregone conclusions the way that Venezuela, Hungary, etc. experience them.
