As a friend hypothesized: “Drinking is time travel. We must all experience happiness and unhappiness in certain proportions. Drinking permits us to travel through happiness space at an accelerated rate; we experience accelerated, compressed happiness. The hangover is us catching up with the unhappiness that we were fated to experience, yet did not.”
I could use a little accelerated time travel right now. I have an afternoon meeting today, which will at least take my mind off what going on south of the border.
Any time travel will have to wait.
Any chance that the 
won’t do this to us all again?

Most of the polling places here in AL are in churches. They do have the space, and they should do something for the civic good with their tax exempt status etc, but it has always given me a bad feeling, even before the last several elections. Separation of church and state?

It says a lot about how deeply Trump has radicalized the Republican party that you can find plenty of pics of GWB buddying around with former Democratic Presidents but none of GWB buddying around with Trump.

IANAHistorian, and defer to @mindysan33, but it seems that up to 1930’s it was almost a generational thing to slide toward authoritarianism and then course correct. After WWII, the economy was too good, due to all the others being pretty much flattened, and the memory of fascism too fresh, for them to gain a foothold for a while. That has obviously faded now. So, no, I don’t think we can promise that this one will end it for good. But we can deal with the one in front of us right now, then try to make it less likely that it will rise again. Best I can think to offer?

My brother just told me he hopes Harris loses. I feel physically ill.

I have the great privilege of having no MAGAts in my immediate family. Even my libertarian sister hates him. Couple of distant cousins, but none that speak to the rest of us. I hope things pan out with no drama, but not sure how realistic that is.

My sister doesn’t post a lot of explicit pro-Trump stuff (but the signs are there), but a few days ago she put this up:

So sorry. Family sucks sometimes. In my case it’s the in-laws. I can’t reconcile how Kiddo’s grandparents can rationalize their votes with loving and wanting a decent future for their granddaughter.
ETA regarding Guy Fawkes Day: burn the patriarchy to the ground, starting today. Best b’day present for Kiddo today
