Hollywood Reacts to Prospect of Second Trump Presidency: “A Sign of Deep Nihilism”

The likes of Adam McKay, Bette Midler, Sophia Bush, Stephen King, John Cusack, Christina Applegate reacted to Donald Trump inevitable win with a mixture of shock, anger, confusion and mainly sadness.

Let the Democrat dooming begin.

Hollywood went to bed on Tuesday night dreading the prospect of Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election as the former president began racking up state after state. But there were perhaps still hopes of a 2020 style reversal on Wednesday morning, if the big swing states in the much-vaunted ‘Blue Wall’ came through. Alas, the hopes were dashed after Wisconsin was called for Trump, clinching him his 270 electoral votes.

Despite no official declaration of the presidential race being over, Trump wasted no time in declaring victory, hitting the stage at his victory party at Mar-a-Lago at 2:30 a.m. ET. In his typical meandering and blustering style, the former president claimed a “magnificent” victory. Harris did not speak as election night turned into Wednesday morning and supporters gathered for what was supposed to be a celebration at her alma mater, Howard University. Her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told the crowd she will address the nation later Wednesday.

Let all of the Hollywood liberals move to Canuckistan, they would have their perfect government under the thumb of little Castro Jr., Hell they can make all the crappy, pandering, gender bending, socialist crap movies they want there.......and keep them there.

Kelly Bundy offered our world many great things. Her thoughts were not one of them.

I’m waiting for Bette to take a selfie drinking Draino.

I expect all those who said they would leave our nation if Trump won the election to do so and as ASP we will be better off without them.

May I suggest the socialist paradise of North Korea.

Feel free to add suggestions.

Wee Bob DeNiro’s been awfully quiet, of late.

So, Mencken is calling our whole society vacuous?

Mencken wrote a long time ago, and he would probably see both sides as vacuous. However, he would have enjoyed at least some of Trump's bon mots, but Harris would be beyond his imagination.

[fella]

We hippies used to call that “The Belly Of The Beast”.

[PhineasSpear]

So now the anti Trump propaganda will be spewed thru every drama and sit com,as it was the first time.

What’s the BS that he will come after them? What a shame; how empty and boring my life will be , without The View, all the late night talk shows, all the PC films and series, debra messing, aaron sorkin, rob reiner, st\ephen spielberg, sarah silverman, robert de narrow, gwynneth paltrow, candace bergen, patton oswalt, oprah, and thousdands of others we all have suffered for too long.

“nihilism”?????!!!!! LEFTIST PROJECTION!!!!!
