I am very tempted to go dark until days after the election

Just don't check any news at all, just hunker down with Netflix etc and pretend my internet is out.

I wonder if I could do it, and for how long?

I wonder how many days past Tuesday I could get.

Then, on the designated day, come to DU to see how it all played out. Like an induced coma.

Could/would you do it?
