Hollywood Celebrities Break Down Over Trump Victory: America Has Chosen to ‘Destroy Itself’
President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Kamala Harris on Tuesday has sent left-wing Hollywood celebrities into a dark psychological spiral, with some expressing apocalyptic visions of the country’s future and others condemning those who voted for Trump as immoral and sexist.
“It’s a war on women,” Grammy-winning pop star Billie Eilish warned.
“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,” John Cusack wrote in a since-deleted X post.
“Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done,” Christina Applegate wrote. . .
Trump’s victory signals the end of the once almighty celebrity endorsement as a potent political weapon used by Democrats to influence young voters and others who may not be on top of the issues. Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris was promoted in the corporate news media as a game-changer. But the singer’s power as an influencer appears to have diminished to such an extent that her opinion is now virtually immaterial, at least when it come to presidential elections.
There are no words left.

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.
