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.
Edit: while this tweet is fake and made for meme purposes only, the event was not fake.
Donny has studied Hitler and he used his tactics and ideas during the entire presidency.

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”
Exactly. You could make jokes about it all day and not be anywhere near his level. So feel free to laugh.
I don't think anyone here can step down to his level.
... having fun at his expense is all we have to cope.
he dug down to china, tried duping their wall, and stayed down there
I agree. Make all the memes you want. It’s not like the republicans would grant us the same courtesy if Donald did win, and imo life is too short for the “be the bigger person” bullshit, especially with something small like this.
He's gone after women, people of color, lgbtq+ people, Muslims, etc. He's trash.

blugeagua no
Hell Yes, he even mocked a disabled reporter quite openly, amongst his litany of nastiness. I've never forgotten that it really pissed me off
Besides, joking about public figures (in a non-discriminatory fashion) is rather a tradition, i the free world, no ? ;-p
He went way lower. He tried to undermine a democracy. Speaking at his level to be sure he gets the message is just being considerate.

Tiger Pearl, I think it's other way around; I think that citizenry, the electorate is divided and politicians do anything to cater to their extreme tastes in order to stay in the power. Humans tried to exterminate each other from the dawn of humanity and there is a reason for that.
I'm an independent purely for the fact that i wish we could work together, and I think it is both sides, but I must say, MOST trump supporters are total jerks, yet get absolutely pissed when someone shows them why trump is bad. I say most because one of my friends supports him and is friends with one of the most liberal kids I know, and they have polite conversations, with more manners than the politicians do.
@Rissie, being an independent doesn’t mean that we don’t vote for one of the two major parties. I vote in every election, both presidential and congressional. However, I don’t like the two party power grabbing system. I personally feel like many in the government care more about their party than the people who elected them. I believe the constant fighting between the two is the root cause of why we are so divided. If the parties truly acted in the best interests of citizens, rather than their party’s agenda, even with differing beliefs, we would never have gotten this divided. I worry they fight each other not just to gain power, but to prevent the other party from fulfilling their agenda. Frankly, I’m tired of the never ending power struggle between the two. Solution: no idea. No parties, more parties? Can the parties end the hardcore division? I just don’t know. This is my rant/opinion, and if anyone else has a differing opinion, please share. I would love to hear.
LOGAN, did that friend of yours give you any reasonable explanation why he/she supports him? How does he/she excuse all that loathsome behavior and foolish, witless way of thinking?
“Both sides” = democrats and progressives caving into some serious immoral sh!t from Republicans and libertarians. Both sides is right wing propaganda.
By voting independent you are throwing away your vote. That's the system for you. If Trump had won by a margin in the range of the votes for other parties, you would have been voting for him.

Ah, OK. So "Two wrongs DO make a right" after all. Thanks for clarifying that for us all.
I'd love the fact that people that spent the last four years bullying and mocking anyone with a heart are getting so upset at the idea that they may be spoken to in a derogatory term themselves. All of a sudden the liberals that they scorned are supposed to take the high road. Well, for the most part they are. I haven't heard Biden say that he will refuse federal aid of any kind to the states with Republican governors.
Aw, diddums. Is your pwecious feewings hurt?
Pandas, this American is overjoyed! YAYYY!!!!
We are celebrating in Germany. Thank you Americans, who voted that catastrophe out!
Thank you for your support! BTW, my 18 year old voted for her first time, and I'm so happy that she's a part of this victory 💙
We didn't vote him in. And you're welcome.
Most of us didn't vote for him the last time either. I'm just glad that this time, our votes FINALLY counted.
Yeah the general smart people are glad to see him gone, no matter their views on the new one
Wow yall should have used your votes more wisely... im still a kid and im sitting here hoping i ever get the right to vote, if we havent turned communist with a dictator by the time im old enough...
As you very well should be! Congratulations!
The world is celebrating with the USA this time!
I absolutely adore how the Trump cultists are still clinging to vain hope that somehow the math is wrong. But then they are only marginally literate, so perhaps math is beyond them. I'm still waiting for one shred of evidence that would show fraud. Sad they cannot produce even that shred...but certainly not for want of trying. Perhaps they can somehow manufacture evidence. They are somewhat expert at manufacturing alternative facts. You know...such as Covid isn't real despite almost 250,000 deaths just in the US as of today. Of-course, those deaths are the real fake news, right? Tell that to the loved ones of those who died. Then again, these are the same folks who tried to convince people no children died at Sandy Hook, so there is that.
THEY SAID NO ONE DIED AT SANDY HOOK!!! The moron's! That was horrible, what happens when they die from "FAKE NEWS"
Yeah, if you really want to get depressed, read more about what the parents of the children who died have had to put up with. "Sandy Hook deniers" (yes, that's a thing) say they're all acting and that it was all fake. The parents have even received death threats. Let that sink in. Not only did their babies get brutally murdered, there are pieces of human refuse who spend their days calling them liars and fake mourners and threaten to kill them for it.
No! Really? Omg that's so scummy, I didn't know that. Sandy Hook was awful, and to have such a tragic traumatic mass loss in the community ridiculed as if it were nothing, it's just repulsive. I think because of all the whopper big stupid things Trump did we have let some of the other points slip through our memory, like I did with this, but he should not be allowed to get away with any of his gross statements, I hope all his garbage he spoke goes into the history books too
sometimes I wonder what trump expected when he did these things to further his campaign?
AM Pierre, thanks for the info, such a shame that people can't think past their own fallacies.
Morons.... I know, I'm a pedant.

What if I could empirically PROVE to you, beyond reasonable doubt, that ZERO people were killed in Newtown, CT(location of "Sandy Hook Elementary") in 2012?...and I can.

What if I told you you, I’m a “diehard MAGA” and figured out almost instantaneously that Trump would loose this election, would hurt your Precious little “Right Wing All Bad” mentality? Go f**k your self whore.
um? calm down please. Your response doesn't even seem coherent.
F me yourself, coward!
