AceShowbiz - As the dust settles from the 2024 presidential election, the aftermath has ignited a wave of emotional reactions, particularly among celebrities. Donald Trump's victory has prompted outcries from notable figures such as actress Christina Applegate and rapper Cardi B, both of whom took to social media to vent their frustrations.
Cardi B openly shared her disappointment in a now-deleted Instagram Live video. Responding to a fan's suggestion to attend Trump's inauguration, Cardi dismissed the idea but took a more serious tone in expressing her support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Recalling her recent rally appearance for Harris in Milwaukee, she said, "I'm proud of her and I hope she's proud of herself no matter what happens tonight. This is one of the most unforgettable elections, and I love her." Cardi B emphasized her pride in Harris, particularly as a woman of color, and criticized the political climate that kept Harris "too much in the background."
To Trump's supporters, she said, "I swear to god I'm gonna f**k you up, get away from me. I'm sick of you! Burn you're f**king hats mother**ker." She added, "I'm really sad. I swear to god I'm really sad."
Similarly, Christina Applegate voiced her concerns on X, stating, "Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah, that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal." The actress highlighted her anxiety for her daughter's future and called out the election's implications on women's rights.
She didn't understand why people could vote for Trump, instead of Kamala Harris. "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," she wrote.
The polarized reactions were not limited to celebrities. Across Facebook and X, many echoed the sentiment with posts urging, "unfollow if you voted for…" while others targeted celebrities who backed Vice President Harris' bid for the White House. However, this raises the question: is increased division the solution?
