We were talking about this last night, and Impish Girl (via zoom) said how different it feels to over here. Where you have church/school/sports halls full of grandmas counting votes at ridiculous speed and when the winner is announced there's Lord Buckethead in the background looking like he fell out of Monty Python & the Holy Grail... America just does everything BIGGER.
Seth Meyers suggested just sicc;ing Trumpers on each other; via a clip of a group yelling 'Stop the Count' spliced with a clip of another mob yelling, 'Count the Votes'; and repeat...
Although a ‘Stop the Steal’ facebook group acquired 40,000 members after a similar group was shut down, then changed its name without explanation - to ‘Gay Communists for Socialism’. The Trumpers were very angry! >:)

If it makes it all feel any more real to you, I've gotta let you know that the place he's making his acceptance speech tonight is literally a parking lot on the edge of Wilmington, a small city so thoroughly uninteresting The Simpsons had this joke to make about it:
Every time they cut to the stage on tv I'm just like 'this incredible historical moment and, like, I went to the movies there once.' That's... amazing.
And yes and no? It's just the show the election 'going back to its roots'. It still FEELS like a tv show. ;)
Also, this is a painfully accurate summary of the last week:
