Liberals fume on social media as Fox News projects Trump winning presidency: ‘What is f—ing happening’
The announcement that former President Trump had won the presidency, as projected by the Fox News Decision Desk, sparked a wave of reactions on social media. Many of Trump’s opponents expressed disappointment at the news, criticizing his electoral college votes and condemning his supporters.
Democratic social media influencer Harry Sisson took to Twitter to express his dismay, stating, “It’s really depressing to see how many people voted for the felon, rapist, fraudster, who lies constantly. Many Americans failed their fellow Americans tonight.” This sentiment was echoed by writer and director Zack Bornstein, who questioned the decision to elect someone he described as a “barely coherent convicted sex predator.”
As Trump inched closer to victory, Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart voiced his concerns on air, suggesting that the American people may have given up on democracy. Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt went further, declaring, “Fascism has come to America, and as predicted, it is wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
Meanwhile, Democrat influencer Dean Withers lamented, “America, you have failed us all,” while The Atlantic’s David Frum sarcastically commented on the outcome, stating, “Big win for post-liberal politics and economics. Also for measles, mumps, polio, and tooth decay.”
The Fox News Decision Desk officially called the presidential race for Trump, who had secured 277 Electoral College votes as of 3 AM ET. The news was met with a mix of disbelief and outrage from those who opposed his presidency.
The reactions on social media reflect the deep divisions within the country and the starkly contrasting views on the future under Trump’s leadership. Despite the outcome, it is clear that the debate and discussions surrounding this election will continue to shape the political landscape for years to come.
