Well, it’s the big day. Election day! We have gotten through so much together in just the past few months: Melania’s body double, Trump getting COVID-19 then consuming fetal cells like a milkshake to heal, trying to save democracy by buying stamps from the USPS, a fly on Mike Pence’s head, and more Trump memes than we can reasonably process, no matter how funny they are. And yet, there are still hours of uncertainty ahead. It’s a lot.
If you feel alone in your Election Day anxiety, please know that you are not. While social media may seem like a bad idea today, it can be a relief to see how many people are feeling just the way you are online. Plus, you can skip all the other stuff and just read our curated best Election Day anxiety tweets below, guaranteed to make you chuckle for a moment before being overwhelmed by existential dread again. Your brain deserves this momentary sense of togetherness:

I love that the only store in my neighborhood that has decided to board up its windows is Lululemon. Because if shit goes awry, the first thing we're going for is the yoga pants

Election Day should be a paid federal holiday so everyone has the opportunity to vote and I can stare at my phone until the results come in.
