Description I guess we're gonna find out. Go listen to this song, the lyrics very appropriate in my opinion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTWOAJ…

This was just something I sketched the other night during the presidential election. It's very messy because I was insanely stressed at the time. Please don't start debates here. I'm not a political person and don't trust any of them (call me paranoid) but as a member of the LGBTQIA community and as an environmentalist, I'm scared. I'm worried for the rights and safety of my friends and family, and for my own. I'm worried for the animals and the planet, more than I could ever put into words. I can't help it. I KNOW I shouldn't worry so much but worrying is what I do...seriously, I already see a therapist for anxiety and ocd...this doesn't help. Also doesn't help that almost all of my closest friends are having breakdowns...and for good reasons. My heart is breaking for friends who have been victims of sexual assault and abuse, who have been thrown into immense panic attacks. I'm worried for my fellow LGBTQIA friends not only because of what Trump/Pence could do (and undo) but because of the sheer amount of violence out there that I fear will only get worse.

I could go on and on but I just can't even right now. We shouldn't give in to the fear, I know that. That's what they want. I am calmer now than I was the other day but I can't help that nagging worry in the back of my mind or the fact that every time another friend calls me sobbing I start breaking down again myself. Well, the world is already going to hell so I guess we're just gonna speed up the process. Seriously, listen to that song. Anyways. In a less serious note...Socks. Socks, you better get the eff outta Demon's face or he's gonna show you what hell really is. XD

Stop worrying. Keep in mind that while the Congress may be Republican, the Republicans HATE Trump with a burning passion. They just hated Hillary slightly less.

Congress will fight him every step of the way, watch. Trump is not nearly the Hitler-wannabe that the media portrays him. He's vile, short tempered, compulsive and perhaps a touch psychopathic, but he's not pure evil.

Having breakdowns for good reasons? No, it's not a good reason. Trump's now a politician like any other. You think any of them are going to DO anything? Get real.

Well, it's impossible for me to stop worrying lol, I do that on a daily basis even when there's nothing to worry about. But I do hope you're right. It's the violence among the people that scares me more than anything right now. Already seeing an increase on hate crimes sweeping the nation, every day I hear about more. That's what is so terrifying to me. The plans Trump/Pence have are equally worrying but I'll try to have faith that they won't be able to go through with them.

I have friends who have been victims of hate crimes, abuse, rape...and some of the things Trump has said caused them to have flashbacks and severe anxiety attacks. When he won it threw them over the edge. A friend of mine already had four friends commit suicide. I'm heartbroken to say the least. I don't think it's within my right to tell anyone they're overreacting because I can never know exactly how they're feeling or what hell they've been through.

A lot of those escalated hate crimes aren't actually real. Some of them are for sure, but you also have videos of alleged Trump voters being pulled from their cars and beaten on the streets, so it goes both ways. And to be fair, some of Trump's plans are okay. Like the term limit on Congress. I mean no way it'll go through because Congress would have to vote on it, but it's not like his mind can only spew bad ideas.

I'm sorry about your friends, but have they sought no help? Exactly HOW bad does trauma have to be to commit suicide because a politician who says mean things gets elected? However you slice it, voluntary or involuntary, it is overreaction, because the reaction is disproportionate to the stimulus, past events irrelevant. That's, uh, kind of what an overreaction is.

We'll be okay. At least I keep telling myself that. Trump/Pence scare me but it's the violence among the people that terrifies me most of all. Already there has been an increase in hate crimes, I see more every day. I can't help but worry. But we have to stay strong, I'm confident love will always win over hate.
