* AuthorsSavingThrow: When Ryan Murphy revealed that season 7 would involve the 2016 election, he received a massive negative reaction from fans, many of whom wanted to watch TV to get away from the politics that had absorbed nearly every other piece of media the past couple of years. This led to Ryan going on multiple interviews explaining that the plot won't be about the election entirely, and saying that the original interview was him joking. Both he and actors of the show went on to explain that the season wasn't about what people [[{{Anvilicious}} assumed]] it would be. It was later revealed that the season premiere would take place on election night, and that Donald Trump himself would not have a huge impact on the story's overall narrative.
