Hollywood personalities often display narcissism, elitism and privilege because, well, they’re actors. They’re idolized for the roles they play, in which they succeed at everything they do.
But that’s on screen and sometimes that perspective doesn’t lend itself to fitting into the real world.
So when ex-Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a liberal Democrat, lost Tuesday’s election for Virginia governor to Glenn Youngkin, a pro-parents, pro-education, pro-business Republican, some members of the gifted class lost it.
“We r f****d,” said actress Rosie O’Donnell on social media.
“Fascism is alive and well in America,” Rosanna Arquette stated.
And Cher, the legacy singer, claimed “ITS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRACY & DICTATORSHIP.”
Her social media blast actually was littered with exclamation points, icons, and all-caps shouting. See it here.

Breitbart reported they were warning people to “enjoy the last year of Democrat control.”
“Hollywood celebrities let loose a collective wail of despair after Republicans won big in Tuesday’s election,” the report explained, citing social media fretting from “Rosie O’Donnell, Cher, Amber Tamblyn, Jeffrey Wright, Sophia Bush, Bradley Whitford, and Rosanna Arquette.”
The report pointed out Democrats not only lost in Virginia, but the New Jersey governor’s race, also expected by Democrats to be a walkover, was a dead heat. And school boards across the nation were moving away from the liberal elitism espoused by the party.
For example, in one Denver suburb a slate of four conservative candidates is expected to become the majority of the local school board. And in left-leaning Seattle, a Republican is becoming the city attorney. City council membership also was moving toward the conservative side.
A part of the Hollywood issue likely was the fact that the Virginia vote was seen as a referendum on Joe Biden’s presidency, which has seen approval ratings recently plunge into the low 40s and upper 30s based on the polling.
That’s followed his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, his crisis at the southern border, rising inflation and COVID-19 failures – more people now have died of COVID under Biden’s president than under President Trump, who was in office when it hit, even though the legacy media is unlikely to be reporting on that.
Actor Bradley Whitford reached probably as far as anyone, accusing the GOP of embracing racism – even though it is leftists who promote Critical Race Theory, which teaches that all whites are racist.
He said the Republicans “want everyone to get over slavery while they can’t get the fact that they lost the Civil … War.”
Josh Gad, who worked on Frozen, warned about burning down “the entire house.”
As Americans, we always seem to want to see how close to the fire we can get. I fear that if we’re not careful, eventually, we will inevitably (whether accidental or not) burn down the entire house.

Wendell Pierce, who’s in an Amazon production, said it was because of the “prejudices of ordinary people.” They, of course, avoid “rational argument.”
The lesson from last night’s elections is that Americans respond to fear-mongering, demagoguery, & political activity or practices that seek support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.

Washington insiders also joined in, with Robert Reich making the claim: “Youngkin was able to feed vile lies directly to his base through a right-wing media machine that ceaselessly ampified his garbage. How can democracy survive this?”
But it didn’t identify any “lies.” much less “vile.”
Ethan Embry, who appears on Netflix, said, “Enjoy the last year of Democrat control,” apparently predicting Democrat failures in the 2022 elections, too.
Rosanna Araquette wasn’t happy with anyone: “I’m sick of the weakness of the Democratic Party and the corrupt criminal Republican Party and the evil Media who has (sic) fed the beast.”

On the MSNBC social media feed was Nicolle Wallace with, confusingly, “Glenn Youngkin laundered former President Trump’s flagrant racism, wrapped it in education, and gave it a lie as a label.”
Julian Castro insisted Democrats “need to better control the narrative.” even though the legacy media many times acts as an arm of the political party.
The Washington Examiner noted that Youngkin won, “but some celebrities aren’t having it.”

REALLY? ROSIE O’DONNELL, CHER, ROSANNA ARAQUETTE? They call themselves actors? wow. The bar has really been lowered.. However will they be able to survive on their millions? YUK GAG PUKE
THEY TRY TO ACT LIKE REAL HUMANS= THEY FAILED
That is just how badly they are at acting they can not even act like a real human without failing that.
no emmys for them!!
no awards i’m thinking?
The problem is they don’t care about everyday struggles because they don’t have any. We need to stop going to the movies and buying the products that sponsor them. When they are broke too maybe they’ll understand the hardships the average Americans are dealing with.
i haven’t been to a movie in over 30 years..not much of a shopper either, i prefer goodwill if i need something. won’t get much from me, i promise!!
I like Goodwill too, found some good stuff there.
Democrats can go to H*ll! Cher your a loser. you may have notoriety, many and fame. But no reality as to truth. Mush for brains. Every single note in this is the racism of the left and Hollywood. Raciest and self absorbed children.
Yeah too many face lifts.
hey don’t forget about Cher’s contribution to society of ‘Chaz’ .
John, have you ever tried “Def-Con News” site?? Great articles and
REALLY great comments..
WOKENESS is antibible.
(D)= the real true racists and fascist, the left
They are so blinded by their own stupidity to even see that they are the real racist as well as wanting a dictatorship.
When you tell them that the democratic party voted against ending slavery, voted against women’s right to vote, ect.
Blaming the right wing media for the loss? How stupid can these people be. And the Republicans can’t get the the Civil War? Liberals are very stupid people, they sure know nothing about history.
Replying to Myself…….REALLY DO LOVE ALL THE GREAT COMMENTS MADE BY YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE…… Makes me feel better knowing that there are so many Good People Out there….Still With Some Brains and Common Sense….My BEST to ALL of You…… DDH
yep- brains & common sense! and the very sick sick humor is refreshing, isn’t it??
you ever try Def-Con News? REALLY FUNNY COMMENTS AND GOOD STORIES
I’ve got news For Rosie McDonnell…She’s obviously been F***ed up since the day she was born. All these Leftist celebrities follow the current Democratic lies. Conservatives aren’t the racists….The Democrats are. They are the ones promoting the teaching of racism in our schools. They need to read where Critical Race Theory came from, and remember it was the Democrats who started the KKK. Heck, just 10 years ago Biden, Obama, and (Bill) Clinton spoke at Robert Byrd’s funeral, and he was in the KKK. I’ve got no sympathy for these Woke idiots.
celebrity morons MUST speak against common sense conservative government or be blackballed by their own woke colleagues no matter what they actually think, their opinions are basically meaningless and laughable to the vast majority.
If mental titans like Cher and Arquette say it then how could it be wrong.Maybe these brain dead slugs will get the idea that no one gives a shit what their feelings are, theyre just has beens anyway
When the over privileged crybabies on the left are having a serious meltdown then its a safe bet the future is looking bright for the good guys.
TIME TO SHUT DOWN POLITCAL HOLLYWOOD.
From this article, Mr. Whitford, an actor, said “the Republicans ‘want everyone to get over slavery while they can’t get the fact that they lost the Civil … War.'” All he did here was show his ignorance of U.S. history. The Republican Party came about in the 1850s, and consisted mostly of Northern citizens that agreed with the Founding Fathers that slavery should not exist in this nation. The Southern Democrats, the creators of slavery in this country, were the ones that lost the war, not the Republicans. This information is readily available online and in history books.
(D)= the original party of the KKK
Sadly, many Democrats, including politicians, are either unaware of that fact, or choose to ignore it. They also ignore the facts that they gave us Prohibition, but it was the Republicans that gave Blacks and women the right to vote, and it was Republicans that ended Prohibition.
They keep trying to prove there was a party switch which is false. Democrats were bad then and are bad now. Plus they also forget the fact that Whites were slaves in this country first and are the ones who built this country. The stupid Democrats need to get off their high horse.
Now the Democrats are blaming us conservatives for all the acts they have committed over the past decades; wasted tax payer money on themselves, denied your youth a decent education, criminal acts, cheating, pushing socialism, lying. They know all the dirty little tricks. Our efforts are now fixing all the mess the Democrats have created for themselves.
Maybe the term Celebrity should be taken out from the CRT. I really don’t give a CRAP!! about you people. Go bound your heads in the Sands.
Hey Cher!!! Isn’t your CHEATER Criminal Democrat Party Mob leadership and CHEATER Joe Biden pushing for you to become part of their “new American Communist Dictatorship with you and all of us as basic free American people their American Communist SLAVES”??? Isn’t that the real Dictatorship you are talking about?????Forgot to read your ‘MARXIST/COMMUNIST/HAND/BOOK again today didn’t you??????,
Cher prolly can’t read or understand your post, it doesn’t have enough
emojis in it.
