Celebrities collectively melting down after Trump election victory

In the aftermath of a decisive victory for President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, many Hollywood celebrities spewed hate-filled and despairing rants on social media.

Cardi B led the ranting early Wednesday morning as Trump gave a victory speech before the race was officially called in his favor, but after winning several swing states including Pennsylvania.

Reacting to a fan comment that she should appear at Trump's inauguration, she said, “I swear to god I’m gonna f--- you up, get away from me,” she said. “I’m sick of you! Burn you’re f---ing hats motherf---er. I’m really sad. I swear to God, I’m really sad.”

She defended failed Democrat nominee Kamala Harris, saying, “No matter what, I know that she’s probably emotional right now. I know there’s probably a lot going on in her mind and I know she’s not listening to this, but she will eventually see it,” she said. “I just hope she knows no matter what happens tonight, millions of people are proud of her. Women around the world are proud of her. Women of color are proud of her."

Other rants

“The fact that the country would choose to destroy itself by voting in a convicted felon rapist and Nazi is a sign of deep nihilism. To put it mildly,” wrote actor John Cusack on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Dead To Me actress Christina Applegate tweeted: “Why? Give me your reasons why????? My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away. Why? And if you disagree, please unfollow me.”

Yvette Nicole Brown said, “For us this is an every day Wednesday. Black folks are used to this. The rest of you are about to be shocked by how America treats you when it doesn’t care about you.”

“Supreme Court gone for the rest of my lifetime. Ultra-conservative evangelical bigotry, xenophobia, racism is the mandate,” former Glee star Kevin McHale said.

"Goodbye America"

“Goodbye, America. It was nice knowing you,” His Dark Materials author Philip Pullman wrote.

Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish said on her Instagram story, “It's a war on women."

Horror author Stephen King said it was the end of democracy, and singer-actress Ariana Grande said the outcome was "immeasurably heavy."

It's not hard to understand how celebrities could feel this way when they mainly live and work in the most left-wing state in the country--California--and they have been told for months, if not years, that it would be a catastrophe if Trump got elected again.

It's sad that more celebrities don't think for themselves, but their lifestyle is such that they are usually catered to and "handled" rather than having a lot of opportunities for critical thinking.

For good reason, we shouldn't put too much stock in their opinions. Trump is going to be good for America, and they will just need some time to see what the rest of America already knows.
