A lot of people are behind President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ historic White House victory \u2014 campaign workers, volunteers, and millions of voters. But there is also one Thing behind the Biden-Harris triumph, and that Thing is Gritty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the days leading up to Nov. 3, the official mascot for the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers-turned-internet’s beloved goblin son became a symbol of the importance Pennsylvania played in the 2020 presidential election. We prayed to him, we worshipped him, we asked him for deliverance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the brighter spots of this election is having to explain #Gritty<\/a> to Europeans. #Election2020<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CElOIry4aZ<\/a><\/p>\n

It might not be hockey season yet, but today feels like a fine day to light the Gritty prayer candle pic.twitter.com\/G5N60bikia<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that Pennsylvania has gone blue<\/a> and the Biden-Harris campaign has claimed victory, of course, we must give Gritty what Gritty is due \u2014 and the internet has suggestions.<\/p>\n

There’s the obvious option: get Gritty into politics where Gritty belongs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Gritty’s short two years on this planet, the orange google-eyed creature has become an emblem of progressive change. Gritty could easily make a positive impact in any number of federal departments as a cabinet member.<\/p>\n

by law this means gritty is commerce secretary<\/p>\n

Still, Gritty should get a Cabinet position or something<\/p>\n

\u2014 scooterb23 (@scooterb23) November 7, 2020<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another person suggested Gritty be allowed to serve as interim president<\/a> \u2014 which for sure won’t fly (Gritty is a two-year-old!) but would still be a fairly solid option given the circumstances we’re left in until Jan. 20. Someone else recommended replacing all confederate statues<\/a> with shrines to Gritty’s greatness, which yes.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

You think anyone will notice if we …. you know … take Donald out, put Gritty in to the White House for 75 days?<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait for all the confederate statues to be replaced by Gritty<\/p>\n

\u2014 jesk, ghost of a human man (@_glavinder) November 7, 2020<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Or we could put Gritty on the $20 bill and make this dude really happ<\/a>y.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

PLEASE @JoeBiden<\/a> AND @KamalaHarris<\/a> PUT @GrittyNHL<\/a> ON THE TWENTY DOLLAR BILL THIS IS MY ONLY WISH. https:\/\/t.co\/S4YJT0gZeM<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there’s this suggestion, which is surprisingly graphic and common.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

If PA flips first Gritty should be allowed to personally drag Trump from the White House and throw him directly into hell.<\/p>\n

\u2014 James D’Amato (@OneShotRPG) November 6, 2020<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Or we could just get Gritty a drink.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

People who should not have to buy their own drinks this weekend:
-Stacey Abrams
-Steve Kornacki
-Gritty<\/p>\n
