That gut-deep nausea you’ve been walking around with all day? Conan O’Brien is here to offer the very, very meager comfort that it’s nothing new. Speaking of the monumental divide between those delighted by Donald Trump’s win and those very, very not, O’Brien explained, “We have been here before,” citing numerous contentious elections of years past.

Of course, if his words don’t do much to lift the cloud, well, he didn’t have a lot of material to work with.
