Celebrities Are Struggling to Cope with Trump’s Monumental Victory
Former-and-future President Donald Trump’s sweeping triumph in the 2024 election represents a total rebuke of extreme leftism and everything that comes with it.
It signifies a rejection of an aggressive LGBT agenda, an overreaching cancel culture, a faltering economy, and, perhaps most notably, a rebuff of the elitist Hollywood influence that has pervaded society for too long.
And Hollywood isn’t handling this rejection gracefully.
Not at all.
Once it became apparent that Trump was on his way to becoming the 47th President of the United States, it didn’t take long for some of Hollywood’s most pampered and sheltered celebrities to express disbelief that everyday Americans actually prioritize issues like rising grocery bills.
“Why? Give me your reasons why?????” Applegate wrote. “My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away. Why?
“And if you disagree, please unfollow me.”
Applegate stood firm on that uncompromising stance, later admitting she just couldn’t handle social media anymore.
Actress Sophia Bush was so shaken by the results that she wasted no time accusing a broad segment of Americans of being outright racist.
“Great job giving the MAGA gang more power, America,” she posted. “Wonder how many folks are seeing this and STILL saying ‘But but but at least he’s not a Black woman!’ in the privacy of their homes tonight. My heart is broken.”
Veteran actor John Cusack went on a reposting spree on his X profile, amplifying every violent, fringe, anti-Trump sentiment he could find.
Actor Kevin McHale (not to be confused with the Boston Celtics legend) took to X, airing a series of baseless worries.
“Supreme Court gone for the rest of my lifetime,” McHale lamented.
The wealthy, insulated actor continued: “Ultra-conservative evangelical bigotry, xenophobia, racism is the mandate.”
Phoenix Mercury player Natasha Cloud echoed McHale’s concerns, infusing them with a feminist angle.
“The privilege of celebrating [right now] is exactly what’s wrong with us as people,” Cloud asserted, with a patronizing tone. “I am truly worried about my fundamental human rights.
“Racism, misogyny, and hatred of women are so deeply rooted into everything that is America.
“Until we fix the roots…it will never grow.”
It’s worth emphasizing just how out-of-touch this type of fearmongering and exaggeration has become, even among their own peers.
Just consider what happened Tuesday night. Americans are grappling with real-world issues and can’t afford to be preoccupied with imaginary threats lurking in closets or racism hiding under their beds.
It’s no surprise that Hollywood’s most elite have the “privilege” (shout-out to Cloud for that term) to worry about imagined monsters and “racism” while everyday Americans are simply trying to afford food for their families.
That disconnect was on full display Tuesday night — and Hollywood is bitter about it.
Too bad.
