Something I just realised: Divali and US Mid-Terms

[ReptilianPeon]

Divali falls on the same day as the US Mid-Terms this year. Therefore, I'm surprised nobody has come on the forum yet claiming "Divali celebrates the triumph of good over evil* and the anti-Trump voters will win big tomorrow, the same day as Divali...coincidence?" Maybe I shouldn't be giving people ideas. Watch out for the International Society for Krishna Conciouness (Hare Krishna), I guess?

And when will Divali be this year?

Wait a minute, I'm checking the date of Diwali. It turns out it's actually November 12-6 and Election Day is November 3. And that just makes it more hollow since in 2018, the victory was just more Dems in the House, but the Republicans got two more seats.
