I was actually working on this when @muiclover04 requested it.Also if you support our president, get the fuck away from me. It'll be better for both of us (reasons why I don't like him at the end)

Tonight was a long night. You knew that from the moment Trump got the nomination. You are a political analyst for MSNBC. Currently, you're sitting behind a desk as polling results roll across the screen. You and your co-workers for the night read off the results. You look over at Chuck, who is reading off the states that are too close to call. "Arizona, New Hampshire, and Michigan. Michigan, if you'll remember was one of the key states for Trump's success and has almost always voted democratically." You roll your eyes, believing that Clinton will get the White House. Although she isn't the ideal candidate in your opinion, she is much more qualified, and if she were elected, people wouldn't fear for their lives.

The final results roll across the screen at almost 2 in the morning. You look over at Lester, who is just getting the results. He hands them over to you, causing you to nearly faint at the sight of them. You take a deep breath. "Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States is Donald Trump. With 276 votes in the electoral college, Trump takes the presidency." You sigh and wrap up the show, ready to go home.

"That's a wrap!" one of the people offstage says. You immediately get ready to leave, not wasting any time talking to others. As you walk back to your apartment, you start crying. You think of your friend who just came out to you, now they can't. Your neighbor, who happens to be Muslim, is already terrified to wear her hijab. Even your friends of color are being shouted at, now you're scared for them.

You open your apartment door, to see John staring there with open arms. "Come here, baby."

You rush over and start sobbing in his arms. You feel him start crying, too. The two of you have always been social justice warriors. You can't count how many times you went to sit-ins and other peaceful protests with him. Neither of you can see why someone who is so offensive is going to be president.

You both head off to bed. The tears streaming down your faces are ignored; they seem like a part of you, just like your eyes or noses. You go to the bathroom to wipe off your makeup. John follows you, running his arms down yours. You let your hair down and start shaking your head to loosen the hair that has been up since this afternoon. When you turn back, you see John grimacing in pain. 

"What?"

"You hit me with your hair. I never realized how close the sensation of hair hitting your face was to the sensation of needles hitting your face," he mutters, causing you to laugh. "Welcome to marriage, sweetheart."

He kisses your forehead. "Sleep?"

You groan and fall face first onto your bed. "Always."

(A/N: sorry that was bad, but it needed to be done. Alright, so for those of you not in America, tell me how you feel about all this. Here are my opinions on Mr.Trump:

1.) One of my closest friends told me today that their parents sat them down and told them to be careful about who they come out to. Do you have any idea how sick that is?! They cannot be who they are because of other people! It's already hard to come out. Now that we have this ass for president, it's virtually impossible.

2.) I live in the Bible Belt so I don't know any Muslims, and I'm not going to pretend I'm very educated, so please correct me if I get anything wrong. Muslims were already facing a hard time in our country. Now we've got Mr. Trump who HAS SAID THAT HE WOULD CLOSE MOSQUES! I don't care if that was under a certain circumstance. I can guarantee you that if that attack was caused by a Christain, he would not have closed churches.

3.)  People of color have gone through so much shit in this country. Now, along with all the shit he has said about African-Americans (which I'm not going to get into bc I would be here for a while), he wants to deport people and build a wall to keep people. A WALL WON'T DO SHIT! Also, for the rumor surrounding Lin, Puerta Rico is part of the US. And you can't deport citizens. And the very people you are trying to keep out are going to build the fucking wall bc they can't get any other jobs bc of people like you!

4.) "Grab them by the pussy." "She had blood coming out of her wherever." I could continue, but I'm going to restrain myself. You cannot say things like that and get away with it. I don't care if you're rich, you do not have a right to a woman's body. If I said "Grab them by the dick" I would get shot.

5.) Terrorism is not something you joke about. You do not claim to be able to stand in the middle of New York and shoot someone and get away with it. That's a serious issue.

6.) He has no experience. You can't even say he is a good businessman bc he has declared bankruptcy multiple times.

7.) He has done countless things that should have got him kicked out.

8.) THERE IS NO TIME THAT AMERICA HAS BEEN GREATER

9.) There are going to be a huge number of uninsured people who will not be able to afford hospital bills

Deep breaths. We can get through this. We are stronger together. I love and value you. Feel free to talk to me at anytime about anything.

Don't Forget To Be Awesome
