I decided to bake some sugar cookies to take my mind off things.
I used kinda old flour and vegetable oil, and it turned out I didn't have vanilla extract like I thought. I wondered if I could just substitute almond extract, which is heresy, and I did.
I figured, in the words of Dave Barry, "A calories is a measure of how good food tastes." And low and behold, my shoddy, make-do sugar cookies have come out of the oven tasting just fine.
It's such a metaphor for this election.

The whole last two years the mutiny of preverts made constant attempts to stop us from having midterms. Fortunately we are fighting some of the dumbest shits ever to live, and millions of Americans have fought back. We stopped the worst of it. So there is some fuckery going on. No, it will not be the same as if there were zero fuckery. If there were zero fuckery in our elections then-- as Donald Trump said himself-- there'd never be another Republican elected. But it can still turn out okay.
