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.

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.
That first tweet is a bot. There are hundreds exactly like it with some variant, sometimes it says "I'm moving to Alaska" "I'm moving to Hawaii" Congrats on not knowing all of your own States in your own country
Yeah, Trump’ll probably lock himself in the White House, board up the windows, and use all of his supporters as a human shield.
I just hope he wil be remembered for what he was : a lying, racist, sexist, mysoginist, colluding rampant slug.
If anyone hasn't seen Chappelle's SNL appearance, I really recommend it. "I would implore everybody who's celebrating today to remember, it's good to be a humble winner. Remember when I was here four years ago, remember how bad that felt? Remember that half the country right now still feels that way,"
Omg I've never met anyone with the same name!!!! :)

They are scared of SOCIALISM. There's nothing more un-American and treacherous than a president who supports a healthcare plan that would build upon the Affordable Care Act. On top of that he wants to make college tuition-free for families making less than $125,000. Now that's something a REAL president would never do...
Trump said himself that a Socialist president would be unacceptable. Especially a female socialist president. And yes, he did say "especially".

That's exactly what they're scared of. Because that's what Trump told them to be scared of. They'll get over it if the rest of us are willing to help them. We have to work together, or at least provide a good example. People can change their minds; we have to accept them when we do, and put the past behind us. Not to forget it, but to learn from it, so it doesn't happen again.
As the eldest of five children, I’m very well versed in setting a good example! I will throw rocks only if they throw first.

They’re pretending that Biden is going to lock everyone in concentration camps and force them to do fellatio while Mexicans drink their wine. That’s what they’re scared of. You know. Fiction.
they must be terrified of healthcare and student debt relief from predatory lenders...
They’re scared of change for the better, and no longer being relevant..
Pretty much. Knowing again that they're not better than others just because a bully says so.
Ooo, teh Soshalizms. Health care, like the US Military has. Food, housing, security. For everyone. Including you, Bubba.
Considering Trump was truly representing privileged white folks(although I'm sure he also likes rich folks of other races and ethnicities- like the Saudi Royal Family and dictators like Vladimir Putin and KimJong-Un ) like himself who are only interested in adding to their own personal fortunes and don't give a t*ss about everyone else... His kind do not have to worry about expenses that ordinary people do (you know, like rent/mortgage, food, clothes, medicine, health care, dental care etc.) He NEVER represented the multitude of followers he amassed... I don't get how they did not understand that.
You wouldn't believe the stuff I'm reading on FB. I just have to read it because I need a good laugh.
exactly. Ignorant people are frightened of what they do not know. They don't know anyone except other people like themselves in their segregated neighborhoods. Poor little white men discovering themselves in the minority.
As a Black woman, I was afraid of all my rights being taken away. That I would b made to flee this country, or rounded up like migrants! I was afraid of everything that man declared on Twitter. I'm pretty certain the the LGBTQ community were terrified, as were disabled people, and Muslims, of being harassed, killed, having the things that keep them alive taken away, and in the case of transgender people being totally erased. What the hell do Republicans have to be scared of? Ramifications? Consequences? Retaliation form people in wheelchairs or on respirators?All the imaginary slights in their heads?
LGBTQ+ community member here! We were terrified when we found out about the results of 2016.

We are scared to have our children taught pornography in elementary school. We are scared to have Muslims taking over the country and enacting Sharia law. We are scared for all the women who will be abused by Democrats like the ones who got on Jeffrey Epstein's plane and went to molest children. We are scared of a tanking economy, $5.00 a gallon gasoline like under Obama, stealing from our children, and destroying America. And you are a moron.
so equality involves electing a old white man and grown men entering woman's locker rooms and bathrooms?
so equality involves electing a old white man and grown men entering women's bathrooms and lockerooms? Lmao
Maturity, decency, truthfulness, competency, stability, diversity...need more?
They're afraid of being treated the same way they've treated minorities all their lives because they assume the worst in others based on their own hate-driven lives. They can't comprehend people who don't want vengeance, just equal treatment.
Trump supporters are scared of NOT having a Grand Wizard in the White House.
The truth setting people free. All that messy freedom makes them uneasy. Why, if people feel free, they might say or do anything, anything at all. I guess they got scared when they felt the earth tilt beneath their feet. Is that what people call a paradigm shift?
I'm scared of what Biden will do to several agriculture subsidies that he has promised to eliminate. My family depends on these.
Scared? What am I sacred for? Remember Trump? How the democrats tried to get him impeached? You don't think the Republicans are gonna do that now? You know how Congress nowadays votes for or against the presidents PARTY, instead of for or against what they think is for the good of the country, like it SHOULD be? I'm scared of four more years of one group of people (a little smaller) hating on another group of people, for four more years. I'm scared of the riots and the disputes. I live in a state that's evenly divided and I already have teachers telling my kids stuff like "trump is the best and biden and biden and all bidens followers will go to hell" or "trump should go suck a ****" literally teachers telling my kids these things in school, at a public school. I'm scared because trump and biden both say america's gonna be great, but with all these arguments, America is anything but great. Instead of working for the good of AMERICA, we'r working against the other PARTY. thats not great
Theyre scared of their guns being taken away. Thats literally the only argument I've heard them come up with.
they're so stupid -- not one 'fact' out of my hubbies mouth has been anything close to 'truth'...and he refuses to even check SNOPES...brain-washing works people...it hits intelligent & stupid so beware...
Maybe some day, hopefully soon the Red Hat'ers will wake up to the fact that Trump was really busy screwing them over.
PRECISELY! I said they're disappointed they'll have to shutter their racism again.
They're scared of "Socialism". Give it up already, it's been 70 years.
No socialism, forced vaccines, a complete shut down of our country, increase in health care cost, gun confiscation and higher taxes. We already have equality and basic human rights here that we are not afraid of dont be stupid.
Name one post that you've commented on where you don't sound like a freaking idiot.

I LOVE how people have reinvented the Barack/Joe meme with Kamala!! Oh happy day!! LOL
Edit: while this tweet is fake and made for meme purposes only, the event was not fake.
Wait, wouldn't it be the first term because the second term technically didn't happen?
Note: this post originally had 113 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
To the people who will say that it is impolite or inappropriate to tease, joke or verbally attack Donald Trump, May I remind you that this is what he has done to so many others that he had deemed a threat to his image and ego. He has gone after so many people including veterans and the disabled but can’t take any criticisms himself. You reap what you sow Donny
Meh, we don't have to step down to his level.. I mean.. that's a freakish loooooonnnggg way down man..
That’s my view. Him and his set all went so low that sharing snarky memes isn’t even close to stooping to their level. I mean one of his cronies literally called for Dr. Fauci to be beheaded, that’s nowhere near the level of “haha tiny hands”
