ok, I know I missed it somewhere around page 1050-1100 of this thread but what is the origin of Chilis on Wednesday?

First rule of Chili’s Club is we don’t talk about it.

 

 

I think I randomly said we should celebrate at Chili’s and it took off.

Yep, I thought I knew of 9, but it’s going to be more like 6.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Absolutely gorgeous day in DC. Did my soul right to spend some time with someone who carried it all to hold our glorious republic together. IMG_5280.thumb.jpeg.02d29bd43e0a8b39ef8fa8043e68d3ce.jpegIMG_5281.thumb.jpeg.0086121e0d780aeb42df9bc58ce11032.jpegIMG_5273.thumb.jpeg.59269b1cd9f032c935c6ef183687ec23.jpegIMG_5274.thumb.jpeg.bf0225ac6695e8d99470ea0fd7b6f557.jpegIMG_5285.thumb.jpeg.1dc70b44c59eee947301244ac42feefb.jpegIMG_5293.thumb.jpeg.95da998cb0d8f9dcd6f0c0f6a361001f.jpegIMG_5291.thumb.jpeg.869e44e85499982fcc6695b675b728db.jpeg

Its hitting me that when Kamala beats Trump, she's going to transform into a legendary figure in politics. Not just first woman president, not just black-indian president, but how she rescued the democrats and the country in just 7 fucking months.

State voting patterns have really been very stable relative to each other. The correlation between the 2016 and 2020 elections by state was 0.97. If Kamala does particularly well in Iowa, or in any other state, she's doing well everywhere.

This.  Totally this for me.

I have felt like I want to puke all day so far, and it will only get worse.

I love my country.  I love it so much it hurts. It has given my family opportunity for generations.  It has been a place that is and always has been wildly imperfect yet, somehow, has found a way to improve over time.  As they say, "reformed, but always reforming."  We are a good country, and we have tried over time to become a great one.  It is a process, but one that - for most of my life - I believed we continued to move towards.  Yes, with failures, yes, with missteps, but overall heading in the right historical direction.

The past 15+ years have caused me to doubt that (Obama's election revealed how awful a huge swath of our country and fellow citizens are, and it has only gotten MUCH worse).  

I truly don't know who "we the people" are anymore.  I don't believe, like I once did, that we can and will find ways to be better.

I want to hope that we will.  But hope, in these times, is a precursor to disappointment.  And we've had a cascade of disappointments, shocking ones.  To my dying day, I will never forget those moments on January 6th when, driving through nowhere W. Texas, I heard them announce that the insurrectionists had broken through and were inside the Capitol.  As our phones started blowing up from friends all over the world asking us "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?"

I want to believe that we can be the nation I knew and believed in most of my life.  But I also know that we are the nation that had January 6th, and might have another one of those.

This feeling is like being in crisis with someone you deeply love.  Will she go off the deep end, turning her back on all the things that made her good, and leading you to the inevitable conclusion of "she's gone....this relationship isn't worth saving?"  Or will she find her way to reaffirm the best of who she is and can be, so you think "there she is....the person I love is still there?"  I feel like I would if I was sitting in my living room, waiting for her answer.  And yeah, I wanna puke.

I love her.  And she's been breaking my fucking heart.

blah blah blah... man up you pussy.

Everyone despairing over a Trump victory (which I still believe will happen) try to relax. Know that basic human nature (incompetence, greed, corrruption) will at least partially derail whatever fucked up plans they have for the country. Always happens for the power-crazed and always will. 

It feels strange to say this, but good post @Helobious

I'm the exact opposite. I have to watch the play by play or I'd be going mad.

I normally feel that way, but I had internalized Trump winning so completely by late June that I've been playing with house money since August. Besides it's THEY LIVE.  
It's election day and we are here to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

You can argue abortion is on the ballot in Iowa so it's special. But it's also on the ballot in Florida. And women in other states where it's not visibly on the ballot know what's up.

To close, on this past October 12, Hindus celebrated Dussehra.  I’ll spare the detail of the reason for the celebration but it represents the victory of good over evil.

Today, I will celebrate Dussehra again.  To my Surly brothers and sisters, I wish for all of us a Happy Dussehra tonight.  I'll see you all at Chili's tomorrow.

America is great because we have African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latin-Americans, AND the Americans that have been here for hundreds of years.

This is my America.  Our America.  The America we love.

i want to call out this great point in this great post bc i was just having a conversation last week along these lines...

this IS our American culture. the diversity, the integration, the cultural differences co-mingling everywhere... THIS IS LITERALLY HOW AND WHY AND WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS BUILT ON!! the very foundation.

i'd read or seen some bullshit last week (probably on here lol) about 'our culture' disappearing, being overrun, etc., got a little tipsy at dinner and we started discussing it and i legit got emotional and angry, just like wtf are these assholes even talking about!... this is it, this is what we are supposed to be and it's beautiful and glorious and like no other country on earth. 

and these people want to destroy it. it's quite literally the most anti-American position to exist. 

also, im retired but I worked in IT and about 60% of my staff were Indian and i absolutely loved when they would bring me homemade dishes bc that shit was delicious 😋

The Trump campaign and Trump are two different entities. As the day progresses that gap will widen. Insiders have already said that many on the campaign can’t wait to get away and would avoid any Trump administration job. They only have a few hours left to toe the line. As the liquor flows in a few of them, journalists will start to tell more insider stories.
