I let you know after election day if it worked.

It will… that’s when you transition into post-election stress.

Where are the relaxing ones? All I see is a repetitive tedium of seeing a red line creep closer to the blue line.

So while the ball is dropping, that hooky chainy thing is swinging left and round behind your head.

How about a triple scotch and a Valium instead?

I like the birhday cake one the best.

Yep. Although “stress” doesn’t really go deep enough; it’s more like throat-tightening terror. Either Trump wins, and we get Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court, global economic collapse, and then a civil war when the Trumpettes still don’t get rich. Or Clinton wins by a hair, the Trumpettes scream “rigged,” and we get civil war directly.

Either scenario is troubling.

Yes. The 2nd GIF resembles a loop of this one, through the present:

The repeated ‘necking’ of the spread is… not soothing.
