You’d think that if the Empire State Building could speak, its voice would sound more like Hillary Clinton’s than Sarah Palin’s, but you’d be wrong. Because the Empire State Building is a Republican, apparently.
The building shone with red, white, and blue in honor of Tuesday’s midterm elections, but after voters handed the Senate over to Republicans, the building blazed red in honor of the GOP victory:
America speaks! We're now glowing red for the Republican party, which has taken control of the Senate. #CNNElection pic.twitter.com/BVvKPJHyDZ

Like voters — who also managed to legalize weed and support a higher minimum wage in some states — the Empire State Building is complex, enigmatic, and mysterious. It has also supported gay rights and the DNC.
Still, blue-blooded New Yorkers were not too pleased:
@EmpireStateBldg @brendanloy Reminds me of the fires of mount doom.
