Donald Trump won the presidency in an Electoral College landslide and also secured the popular vote. Meanwhile, Republicans reclaimed a majority in the United States Senate and, according to Decision Desk HQ, have a 63% chance of maintaining their majority in the House of Representatives.
BREAKING: Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States.

Here now, for your viewing pleasure, are the five most hilariously extreme, hyperbolic and outrageous reactions from the left—plus one bonus you won’t want to miss.
Without further ado, cue the liberal outrage!
1.) MSNBC calls voters ungrateful, fascist, etc.
For those who wanted a peek, and to revel at MSNBC, their election night coverage didn’t disappoint.
The meltdowns began fairly early. Lawrence O’Donnell called for the abolition of the Electoral College—despite it being irrelevant, as Trump also won the popular vote.

At another point, Joy Reid described Florida as an “extremist, fascist-type government.”
Raise your hand ✋️ if you want Joy Reid removed from the MSNBC panel for referring to people in Florida as right-wing fascist state

Beyond the ad hominem attacks, the most tone-deaf moment of all was MSNBC’s proclamation that working-class voters, including former blue-collar Democrats, didn’t appreciate the jobs the Biden-Harris administration supposedly created for them.
This is how the LIBERAL ELITE VIEW YOU…

MSNBC is STUNNED that the “working class” voted for Trump.
Adding that they’re, “non-college educated.”

The reactions exemplify the frustration and disbelief among media figures living in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., as Trump’s return to power defied their predictions and expectations.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris did not outperform Joe Biden in any of the United States’ 3,141 counties.
2.) Hollywood’s “reasonable” take
Failing to understand why kitchen table issues, a porous border and inept foreign policy motivated a majority of the nation to deliver Donald Trump the greatest comeback in American politics was par for the course for Hollywood, with actors of varying degrees of fame.
Maybe next time don’t call hardworking, frustrated Americans Nazis.

If you voted for the lifelong rapist, you have voted for the annihilation of Palestine and Ukraine and the end of the current world order.

Congratulations on being immeasurably fucking stupid and choosing nazi's and white supremacists over …women.
History will crush you.
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.

never mentioning public healthcare & embracing fracking,
the Cheneys & a yr long slaughter of children in Gaza wouldn’t be a winning strategy?

3.) DoNotConcedeKamala
As of Wednesday morning, the hashtag #DoNotConcedeKamala trended on X (formerly Twitter), with some progressives calling for Vice President Kamala Harris not to concede and demanding recounts. Notably, Harris secured victories in several states that do not require voter identification, including California, Illinois and New York.
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
DO NOT CONCEDE KAMALA.

DEMAND A RECOUNT.
SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT.
I don't normally do this shit, but at this point doing something is better than nothing. Recounts in Georgia, PA, and several other states where Kamala lost by narrow margins should absolutely be recounted in light of the bomb threats, voter roll purges, etc. #DoNotConcedeKamala pic.twitter.com/z0EkkbZ6RK
— Nine (@ninewontmiss) November 6, 2024
Election Day bomb threats in Georgia were allegedly carried out by Russian operatives attempting to sow chaos. Despite the disruptions, polling stations ensured that everyone who was in line to vote had the opportunity to do so.
Here’s yet another misleading video that had nothing to do with the reality on the ground.
How in the F*** did she lose like that when, day after day, you saw her rallies growing and his shrinking? #DoNotConcedeKamala#CallItRigged#DontBackDown#DemocracyUnderThreat#HoldHimAccountable#NoConcession#JusticeForAll#UnfitForOffice#ProtectOurFuture#NotAboveTheLaw… pic.twitter.com/I8tI2ICKjU

4.) Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich and the “greatest” tweet ever?
In July, British pop star Charli XCX tweeted “kamala IS brat,” referencing her album “Brat” and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. This endorsement aligned with Harris’s campaign strategy, which aimed to resonate with younger voters by embracing a “brat” persona—characterized by edginess, imperfection and confidence, as opposed to traditional political polish.
CNN even featured a segment explaining the “Brat Summer” phenomenon, claiming its cultural significance. However, the approach failed to effectively addressed the concerns of undecided voters who feel passionately that the country was on the wrong track under the Biden-Harris administration.
It clearly did not work, and Reich’s video, posted after the initial results, indicated impending doom for Harris’ candidacy. It may be the most cringeworthy video ever shared online.In the end it clearly, it didn’t work, and Reich’s video, posted after the first results already portended doom for Harris’ candidacy, may be the most cringey ever shared online.
"Brat Summer" may be over, but voting is still brat. pic.twitter.com/mcezO8oo29

5.) Molly Jong Fast and Jen Psaki
Lamenting the outcome of President-elect Trump’s historic return to power, progressive journalist Molly Jong-Fast and former Biden White House press secretary-turned-MSNBC host Jen Psaki refused to learn any lessons, instead insisting that Trump won because voters without college degrees fell victim to disinformation and misinformation.
Michael Steele tries to explain to the MSNBC panel that normal Americans think Democrats don’t care about them. Molly Jong Fast then jumps in “but isn’t that a disinformation problem, isn’t that a disinformation problem”

It’s just so perfect.
Bonus: Watch The Daily Wire troll Rachel Maddow: expertly placed ad goes viral
The Daily Wire strategically placed advertisements for Matt Walsh’s documentary Am I Racist? during MSNBC’s election night coverage, interrupting Rachel Maddow’s monologues. The strategy aims to reach a wider audience and challenge left-wing narratives surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Walsh’s film is already the most commercially successful documentary in American cinema history.
Daily Wire got an ad spot on Rachel Maddow’s show tonight for their movie “Am I Racist?” 🤣😭😂

Well, when are you all leaving the country? Please make it soon so we don’t have to listen to your whining insults and your crying lies anymore. Don’t let the door hit you in your rear heading out of the country. Do a lot of us a favor and get out.
Jen Psaki, remark about non-college educated, who put Trump into office, magnifies the fact colleges are mostly liberal bias. The “college educated,” have elevated themselves to be all-knowing, but not seeing “cause and effect,” which is scientific and not political. All politics is an art, never a science unless you take away the essentials from the population, and then the people will do whatever the government says to get back those essentials. All governments are subject to both corruption and greed–it is for this reason Thomas Jefferson carefully crafted our Constitution to quell government greed for power, hence, the “Second Amendment,” specifically to put down a tyrannical government, as a last resort, when we cannot get redress in the courts. Hunting and self-defense are peripheral. Therefore, leave businesses and markets alone, unless they also succumb to greed, which is why we have anti-trust laws, promulgated by the first Rosevelt Administration. It is always the greed of the few that want to rule over the masses, which ended up destroying the past 6 civilizations.
