President-elect Donald Trump's decisive victory over Kamala Harris on Tuesday has left Hollywood's left-wing celebrities in a dark psychological spiral, expressing apocalyptic visions for the country's future. Some have criticized those who voted for Trump as immoral and sexist.
“This is a war on women,” Grammy-winning pop star Billie Eilish warned.
“The fact that this country would choose to destroy itself by voting for a convicted rapist and a Nazi is a sign of deep nihilism, to say the least,” John Cusack wrote in a statement that has since been deleted. I wrote in a post by X.
“If you vote against women's rights, unfollow me. You vote against disability rights. Oh yeah. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Something like this I don't need followers. That's it. Done,” Christina Applegate wrote.
Barbra Streisand was left speechless and inconsolable.
Trump won a landslide victory over Harris in Tuesday's presidential election, winning both the electoral vote and the popular vote, with every key battleground state going or expected to go to her. The decisiveness of the vote shocked many on both sides of the divide, who had expected a long battle lasting several weeks.
Hollywood celebrities put on an impressive show of strength for Kamala Harris in the final days of the election cycle, with dozens of stars announcing their support in unison, giving the impression of a last-minute surge of support. But as with most things in Hollywood, elite enthusiasm didn't translate into the necessary votes, and the result turned out to be mostly smoke and mirrors.
Trump's victory signals the end of the once all-powerful celebrity endorsement as a powerful political weapon used by Democrats to influence young voters and those who don't understand the issues. Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris was touted as a game changer in the corporate news media. But the singer's power as an influencer now appears to have diminished to the point where her opinion is virtually unimportant, at least when it comes to presidential elections.
In the hours after the polls closed, celebrities flooded social media with despair and anger over the increasingly inevitable outcome: Trump becoming the 47th president of the United States.
Barbra Streisand expressed her deep disappointment in her first public words since President Trump's victory.
halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis wrote that Trump's victory signaled the coming of oppression, especially against women, gays and transgender people.
Pop star Ariana Grande said she is “holding the hands of all those who are feeling the immense weight” of President Trump's victory.
