Should tomorrow be a National Holiday?

[OAITW r.2.0]

Seems like we all should want to reaffirm the importance of this date....when we celebrate the miracle of voting for change. Or, when appropriate, the continuation of our Democracy.

6. I was thinking - FFTD - Freedom from Trump Day....

5. I Vote Nay

Election Day, I'm all in.
Not inauguration day. Plenty of inauguration days are for the person already in office. No change.
,72, '84, '96, '04, & '12. 5 of 13 inaugurations.
And '88 didn't represent change.
So, close to half.
It doesn't really represent change, IMO.

7. Reaffirming continuation is as good as celebrating change, IMHO.

Edited to ass-


And an important national day to see where our political reality is. A Federal Holiday can get both sides out to let this country know where it stands. If Trump had been successful in stealing another 4 years, I'd want this to be a federal holiday where you get to show your support (or not) for the election results. It would have been interesting in 2016.

13. You Moved The Target

And if PINO had won, would we be pleased to affirm the continuation?
I answered the question you posed. To THAT question, I stand by my opinion?

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. I don't think I did....

Because this was also part of my OP...."Or, when appropriate, the continuation of our Democracy."


If PINO had stolen the election again, I'd want everyone in the street on Inauguration Day to let Trump know how big and deep his opposition is. Conversely, let the Freedumb Coalition demonstrate how unfair it is that Trump was denied a 2nd term. They can own their ignorance and irrelevance.

16. Because I'm Retired?

I suppose.

12. I always forget it's not

I worked in downtown DC for decades and always got it off. Still can’t get used to not having it off!

15. Fiddler on the roof. Rabbi says the Czar will die on a Jewish holiday.

Fiddler on the roof. Rabbi says the Czar will die on a Jewish holiday. How do you know he will die on a Jewish holiday? Any day the Czar dies will be a Jewish holiday.

20. A celebration of how a country can fix itself. Should be an inspiration to all.

Not so much to authoritarian nations, of course.
