Leftist celebrities are in a total downward spiral after their preferred candidate Kamala Harris failed to beat Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
While many A-listers who endorsed Kamala are staying silent, others took to social media to express their frustration with the landslide Republican victory.
Rapper Cardi B, who spoke at a Harris rally right before election day, originally posted a video in which she said, “This is why some of y’all states be getting hurricanes,” before quickly deleting it, per Variety, seemingly referring to states that went red.
“I hate y’all bad,” she said in response to the results. She responded to someone asking if she’d appear at Trump’s inauguration during an Instagram live by saying: “I’m sick of you! Burn your f***ing hats, motherf***er. I’m really sad. I swear to God I’m really sad.”
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis posted a lengthy reaction, too, worrying that the country would have “a return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian time” with a particular threat for minority groups. “Gay and trans people will be more afraid,” she posted on Instagram. “We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve. For all those people there will be those who will help you. Me included.”
“But what it really means is that we wake up and fight,” Curtis added. “Fight for women and our children and their futures and fight against tyranny, one day at a time. One fight at a time. One protest at a time. That’s what it means to be an American.”
Actor John Cusack wrote in an X post, “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.”
Christina Applegate had her own extreme reaction. “My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away,” she wrote. “Why? And if you disagree, please unfollow me,” she posted on X.
“Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights,” she repeated in follow-up. “Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done. Also after today I will be shutting down this fan account that I have had for so many years because this is sick.”
Outspoken Leftist author Stephen King wrote, “There’s a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT’S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy.”
Singer Billie Eilish posted to her Instagram, writing, “It’s a war on women,” over a black background.
Singer Ariana Grande wrote, “Holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today.”
Late-night host and comedian Jon Stewart also voiced his thoughts during the election night broadcast of “The Daily Show.”
“My point is this: f***!” he said. “But this isn’t the end, I promise you. This is not the end. And we have to regroup, and we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create a better society — for our children, for this world, for this country, that we know is possible. It’s possible.”
