12 Field Mice Who Are Blissfully Unaware It’s Election Day
They’re just sitting under a leaf or hanging onto a stalk of wheat, and have never seen a poll in their life. God, I envy them.
This Mouse Behind A Rock
Peeking up from behind a rock simply for curiosity’s sake, not because he’s terrified of widespread civil unrest.
This Mouse Enjoying A Nut
He sees a nut, he chews on it for a bit. There is no inflation on his food prices, because he finds it all on the ground.
This Mouse in the Snow
He knows it’s cold, but the existential threat of climate change is far beyond his comprehension.
This Bunch of Mice
They’re friends and they’re hanging out, and none of them are secretly harboring detestable political views that will eventually tear them apart.
This Mouse Under A Leaf
Look at this fat little mouse! Odds are, too, that he’s lived his life of plenty without exploiting other, more unfortunate mice to reach this point.
This Mouse in the Dirt
He’s climbing out of a patch of freshly turned earth, not the rubble where the Capitol once stood.
This Mouse on A Little Hill
He’s looking out over the land he grew up in, and not wondering if he’ll ever feel as safe as he used to.
This Mouse on A Sunflower
He’s climbed to great heights, and done it without stepping on the backs of the working class.
This Mouse on A Stalk of Wheat
The presence of wheat might mean he’s in the Midwest, but he doesn’t have an outsized effect on the future of the country, if not the world.
This Mouse Enjoying the Fresh Air
Will his lovely landscape be clear-cut and fracked for oil because of rising prices due to tensions in the Middle East? Not his concern.
This Mouse Standing on Some Moss
Look at those ears! Lucky for him, he’ll never have to use them to listen to a full week of developing election results from mildly panicked news anchors.
This Mouse, Who Chewed A Hole in A Ballot So He Did Effectively Vote
Okay, he’s involved now, whether he likes it or not. It was a Pennsylvania ballot!
