This is aimed at US election day, because the US controls the western world. And most of us are unfortunately westerners.

We all know that the election is gonna suck. How will you cope? How will you celebrate? How will you give yourself a reason to wake up the next day?

My plan is avoiding all human contact for the day as best as I can, and going out for a run. Then I will come home and make rice and tofu. Maybe with some kimchi I have stored.

A combination of brainpoisoning that makes me able to enjoy the horserace and knowing that there are no stakes for this election because it is between two Hitlers, and we've had successive Hitlers in office for (at minimum) 20 years.
