50 Of The Best Reactions People Had To Trump Losing The Election
Donald Trump won more than 71 million votes, the second-highest total in American history. Nationally, he has more than a 47% share of his vote and has an extraordinary hold over large swathes of this country that has brought a near cult-like devotion among many of his supporters. But he still lost the election to Joe Biden. This defeat makes Trump one of only four incumbents in the modern era not to get another four years. He also has become the first president to lose the popular vote in consecutive US elections.
He refused to accept the result, accusing media outlets that called the race for Joe Biden of colluding with the president-elect in trying to steal the White House. The voters, however, did not. Everyone from celebrities to Internet meme pages has been sharing their reactions to the race both in the streets and online, and many of these thoughts are definitely worthwhile. Here are some of them.

Good on you! I remember doing door-to-door canvassing as a 12-year-old volunteer for Robert Kennedy’s campaign. Being engaged in civic events at a young age is a great way to ensure you play an active role in your own future.

Right? Teachers know just how you feel. Not once during the lockdown in the spring did Betsy DeVos express any empathy for turning on a dime from onsite instruction to being on computers instead. Not to mention the overwhelming sense of loss from not seeing the faces of the kids who make our jobs worth it. She insisted we needed to be in school while people were getting sick and dying all around us, and then got truly snarky and told us not to expect to bypass the high-stakes testing that adds nothing to education. The relief in realizing that she will have no influence on public education again ever is extraordinarily satisfying.
I still cannot fathom how there have been over 238K deaths from Covid-19 in the United States and some disillusion people voted for a stale Cheeto (aka Donald Trump, the ex-president) who openly mocked scientists, laughed at people wearing masks, did nothing to prevent the spread of the disease, and showed absolutely no empathy as people in his nation died. It is just plain terrifying. I am so thankful that the United States has voted for a new president that believes in science and values healthcare-workers.
Sadly, the 🍊🍄💩 won’t be the EX-President until January, so it’ll only get worse until then, and potentially WAY worse because the The Creature from the Orange Lagoon is a vindictive pile of 💩.

President elect Joe Biden is setting up a COVID task force, which is obviously a giant step in the right direction. Of course, there is a long battle ahead, but I wish you all the very best. Be well and stay safe.
If the public will not co-operate (wearing a face covering, social distancing) his efforts would be fruitless; Republicans will obstruct any of his attempts to help and heal this country simply out of hate.

I still cannot fathom how there have been over 238K deaths from C-19 in the United States, and people still voted for a stale Cheeto who only cares about himself, doesn't believe in science, and laughed outright at people who wore masks. It is not only mind-boggling, it is outright terrifying. I am thankful that President Biden has already put together a C-19 task force and values science, believes in climate changes, and cares for healthcare workers.
If only there was a legal way to make the orange turd pay for each life his lies have cost us.
@SBW71 "Fear Mongering?" you mean proper social distancing?

Trump tried to silence doctors and scientists, fired those who didn't support his false statements, and encouraged his followers to trash scientific facts as a HOAX. Trump is the stupidest EVER!
most all Americans appreciate the wonderful work you do. A heartfelt thanks . . .
sad thing is, something horribly bad must happen for the general populous to realize we are working our asses off in the hospitals. we don't even want these guys to thank us. We'd just want for people to not be massive idiots and wear a mask when they go out since they don't help us with "Oh thank you so much for helping my keep my miserable uninteresting life" - no, you'd help by wearing a goddamn mask. CORRECTLY. But seemingly the general populous is even too dumb to understand that.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for your service! Not all heroes wear capes🥰
Biden's Covid task force does not include even ONE toadie, one donor, or ANY family members. It's all doctors and researchers and scientists. I could just about cry writing that. And that should shut up all the people believing scummy Repub lies about Joe using his influence to aid his son.
Thank You Craig for you and your coworkers tireless effort. You are the ones, that fight so much, and dont get enough thanks. You people are the best! THANKS! 💖
That's what OUR government is supposed to do, work with us to help make a better society. Yes, it feels very good,
For me, it's like turning on a light and watching all the roaches scatter back into the woodwork. Having sanity and dignity returned to the country and WH is such a relief. If this is how the cheeto behaved in an election year, imagine the idiocy that would have happened if he knew re-election wasn't on the table? He would have done damage that would have either been irreparable or taken years to recover from. I hope they have to frog march him out of the WH after they have to pry his tiny hands off the door jamb because he refuses to leave. And I hope they play the 'na na na na...na na na na...hey hey hey, goodbye' song as they march him out. I'd pay to see that.
..... sanity and dignity did return to the WH, but not to the country; those haters and obstructionists are here to stay.

I can't wait for trump to storm the white house again in a year with the demand for a recount.😀
Ha Ha. This whole item hasn't aged well. Enjoy your Biden and try not to think about what a clusterfark it's turning out to be. Oh, yeah...blame Trump.
I hate the way the Media silences Conservatives. Like you toxic people on here down voting people expressing their views. If it's not what Democrats want it can't be spoken.
Trump took down ISIS Biden took down Mr. Potato head and Dr. Seuss🤔🤡🤡🤡
No, even taking down those was a tad weird of us, most of us don’t support it, and by the way, ISIS is just being quiet, it’s not gone. And how dare you compare Trump to the real soldiers who risked their lives? Trump didn’t plan the assault, the army did. You know what happened, right?

No, he never insulted medical professionals. Mr Biden can actually listen to his team, and actually wants to help the people, not himself.
Load More Replies... *furious googling* oh! Let me say this: President elect Joe Biden isn’t sick due to age, yet, and he’s not too elderly where he’d risk his life.

@Sherry I'd rather be a sheep than a wolf or hyena or whatever Trump and his cult members are. I take that back, Trump and his cult members aren't even mammals.

With his triumph, Biden, who turns 78 later this month, fulfilled his decades-long ambition in his third bid for the White House, becoming the oldest person elected president.
The result also provided a historical moment for Biden's running mate, Senator Kamala Harris of California, who will become the first woman to serve as vice president.
On Saturday night, Biden appeared in front of supporters at a drive-in rally in Wilmington, Delaware, and claimed the presidency and called on the country to reunite after what he described as a toxic political interlude.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, could lose more than just the presidency. Twitter has confirmed that if Trump leaves office, he will no longer receive special treatment as a "newsworthy individual".
Twitter's policy around what the company calls newsworthiness protects certain people — such as elected officials with more than 250,000 followers — from having their accounts suspended or banned for rule infractions that would lead average users to severe penalties.
