I went to tuck in my child who suddenly sat up in bed and said, “with 72% of votes counted, Donald Trump is leading in North Carolina” before dropping back into bed and resuming sleep.
I have a very early day tomorrow but I’m afraid to go to bed because another middle-of-the-night surprise à la 2020 would be excessive.
IIRC last time around AZ and PA took days. I wouldn’t stay up on their account!

It was COVID times though. Things were screwy back then.
PA is already at over 70% counted with Trump leading by 3%.

We’ll see.
If it worked for them once, they’ll definitely try it again… which means nothing’s sure until the 3am truck delivery window has passed and all the votes are counted.

He’s won North Carolina, so our hope remains in the blue wall and Arizona. You may sleep.

Predictably, the machine is kicking into action in the expected places:

And just for giggles, the Harris campaign winkwinknudgenudges that we won’t know anything until 3am:

lolmala was such a horrendous candidate it fucked it up the Dems in downballot races too. Lost the senate and the popular vote. Let’s see what happens with the House.

DEI completely blinded the Dems. They knew she has no support. They knew she lost the 2020 primaries pathetically. But it’s their whole thing that DEI can erase reality. So they went with the DEI.
Today reality showed that it can bite back.

Exactly. When you have absolute control of institutions and the media, you lose one crucial thing: feedback from reality. So you start to think that whatever delusional and retarded policy you come up with is popular. Dems got high on their own supply and actually started believing their bullshit lol.
I’m gobsmacked by the sheer number and acidity of posts I’ve seen now that are basically “Latinos are the worst humans” and my personal favorite: “Why would latinos vote for their own deportation?”
Clearly, these people don’t know any Latinos.

Well, also, the cheat was so flagrant last time that the R side actually learned, and instituted countermeasures in a lot of key places. Legal challenges ahead of election in a lot of districts (like that bit in VA where illegals were purged from the voter rolls, the court tried to make them put them back on, and they took it to a higher court where the judge shot down the lower court), lots of fresh new poll watchers, and armies of attorneys at the ready to challenge any bogus pipe-leak actions.
I didn’t think it’d work, and I’m so relieved to be wrong.
Item 1 on the new agenda needs to be burning, burying, and salting the corrupt elections departments that have been screwing over the whole country in places like Detroit, Chicago, Philly, Arizona, Milwaukee, and Atlanta… the way DeSantis did in FL with the SE coastal districts that were so bad, to make sure they don’t get a chance to try it again. He squeaked through his first election because they screwed up and didn’t fraud quite enough. He won the re-election handily and fairly because they couldn’t do it again.
President Trump Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooop

Thankfully, I teach at a university where nobody is wealthy enough to be such a snowflake.

When our students came back to campus full time after the Covid fiasco, we had a number of student suicides on campus, it was quite terrible. After that, among other things, University instituted wellness days during the semester (a day off classes, twice a semester on top of other regular holidays/vacations) and started to bring therapy dogs to campus a couple of times a semester (a handler is with a dog or two on a frequented spot outside and students pet them and play with them). No one knows if it is helpful or not, but I think they just felt like they needed to do something. As ridiculous as it all sounds, I do have sympathy for the University leadership and I understand why they have done this. The dogs looked very friendly, the last time I passed them I would pet them too if there was not a loong line of students already 🙂 The situation is better now, but still more students than expected have all kinds of problems.
I am happy to report though, that so far it is business as usual at work as if nothing has happened. Last time Trump won, students were quite upset, there was special counseling, and emails about help available… I guess it is a different generation of students now, who perhaps do not care as much since they all lived through at least one Trump term.

Yeah, I wonder. Isn’t their silence ominous? Are they all right? It’s an election, not the end of the world. AND as long as everybody played fair and square according to mutually agreed rules – which may or may not be the case, I do not know – in a democracy we accept the result and get on with our life, rejoycing or not, as the case may be.
Still, I’m not normally one for celebrations, but this time: HAPPY TRUMPDOM EVERYBODY!!!
Perhaps they were only getting paid to troll for the duration of election season.
