      I propose a compromise: election day is now moved to 14th June (Trump’s birthday) and that day will be a federal holiday. This new holiday will be called “President’s Day”, which is absolutely 100% a reference to President Trump and no other president and has nothing to do with the fact that it will also be the day that the presidential elections will be held. The federal holiday that previously would have been observed today will be instead named “Freedom Day” in honour of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

      Hopefully this makes everyone happy

          President Donald J Trump Memorial Democracy Week

          Edit: In most states, when accounting for early voting days, there are already more than 7 voting days.

          Sorry, but due to new management, your work is now classified as “essential” and you no longer get Stat days, also your pay is cut by 50%. Just be thankful you have a job 😉

      Wouldn’t matter. The vast majority of people do not get federal holidays off work.

    The people who need a day off the most still won’t get it anyway… which, actually, makes it a perfect Trump-style holiday.

    Probably gonna be a hot take but I’ll observe Hat Day as a federal holiday if it means another day I don’t have to be at my shitty job.
