It's pretty hard to process what just happened last night with the 2016 presidential election, but somehow we have Donald Trump as the president of the United States of America. The outcome is frustrating and heartbreaking, and all of a sudden my LGBTQ peeps feel more vulnerable than they have in their lifetimes. Just, ugh, I'm seriously in a daze right now, and I'm sure you are too.

Angry Americans threw a temper tantrum yesterday, but the brief catharsis provided by putting in a ballot for Trump will have lasting consequences - many of which negatively affect the very people who elected Trump to office. This is classic "magical thinking" in which delegating the outcome of one's own future to a man who promises the world is the easiest path. Last night we learned that about half the country wants to live in a dream world at the expense of minorities, women, the disabled, and the LGBTQ community. These events of the past day feel like they fall somewhere between The Music Man and every dystopian movie ever. Wow, there's just so much to think about today it's unreal.

Even though it may feel like we're going to hell in a handbasket right now, in my heart of hearts I know that everything will be okay. I think that this presidency will bolster bonds that we didn't know we had. I feel closer to my LGBTQ brethren than ever before. If nothing else, this morning has proven that love doesn't simply dissipate in times of crisis, but instead grows stronger. Conversely, I am really seeing the people that voted for Trump. Life must be really crappy for grown ass adults to throw up their hands and say "fuck it." Right? How can I help make their lives better, so that this doesn't happen again in four years? Lord knows Donald Trump isn't going to.

As promised, let's look at Nick Jonas. No matter what happens in the White House, there are still constants in our lives that can keep us grounded, two of those being Nick Jonas' armpits. I was scrolling through Nick's Instagram last night in between freebasing french onion dip, wondering how the hell I was going to write about the election today, and realized that there are a ton of sexy pictures and videos that I haven't shared yet on Fleshbot Gay. Who's a bad American now? Take your mind off of things for a second and check out Nick Jonas at his finest...
