Saturday Night Live predicts a major Democratic victory in a very shaky voice

“There’s a blue wave on the horizon,” begins grinning suburban mom Heidi Gardner, before her voice begins to tremble as she forces up her thumb to punctuate her shaky pronouncement, “I have never felt more confident!” Both businessman Beck Bennett and florist Kate McKinnon have trouble downing their chosen beverages (coffee and a bottle of hooch, respectively) as they grimacingly assure the camera (and themselves) that “We’re finally gonna put this administration in check.” Even Leslie Jones’ eye-rolling kitten isn’t buying Jones’ desperate promise that “white women are gonna do the right thing this time.” And host Hill’s doctor can’t keep himself from sucking down a faceful of anesthetic at the shaky promise of a Democratic victory, even though “Nancy Pelosi just said so on Colbert.”

Sweat stains, frozen smiles, a sharp slap from mom Aidy Bryant at son Pete Davidson’s joke about forgetting when Election Day is (it’s Tuesday), and Gardner interrupting her well-intentioned speech about the long road ahead by frantically screaming at her small children, “Kids! Go inside! Mommy told you—stay inside ’til Tuesday!” All the hallmarks of a confident electorate not all all worried that Republican voter suppression, gerrymandering, fear-mongering, race-baiting, and possible foreign collusion are going to destroy everything American is supposed to represent. No siree.

Vote.
