These are things which are not meant to happen. Perhaps odd things, like their bad thing cousins, always come in threes and that is an end to it. Alternatively perhaps the planets have slipped out of alignment and strange is the new normal. I guess we shall find out after Tuesday…
I’ve just checked carefully, and in the month preceding the last 5 presidential elections, nothing weird happened anywhere in the world. I think you must be right.
But hang on, if a lack of weirdness is weird, don’t the weird precursors this time around signal a return to normality after the 5 prior anomalously weird-presursor-free elections?
We’ve already had the Brexit disaster, the Colombian vote against the FARC peace treaty, and other “no way!!” type of moments this year. Heck, David Bowie died.
I will be curled up in a fetal position, whimpering, until all of this is over.
