I hope you all join me in a coast-to-coast block party. I sure as shit will be planting a union-made flag (something I never do) in my front yard, playing some music and celebrating out front.

Which coasts? Because half the world will join in the celebration. And I'll join in from Europe.

Both of them. It's middle America that would be wailing and gnashing their teeth, but fortunately there's more cornfields and wheat there than people.

At this point I expect them to reinterpret the Electoral College as saying each corn kernel gets a vote.

Minnesotan chiming in here, I will be making cupcakes and cocktails for the occasion.

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wait. There are cupcake cocktails in this timeline?

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

Well, I suppose you could make a boozy milkshake with cake batter ice cream or something.

I've got mariachi bands on speed dial and gallons of popcorn just waiting.
