After a surprising turn in the 2024 U.S. elections, Donald Trump declared victory over Kamala Harris on Wednesday, leaving many liberals disappointed and clinging to the hope of an unexpected change. As the reality of Trump’s win settles in, emotions have run high, sparking what some are calling a full-fledged “meltdown.”
Liberals’ Emotional Reactions to Trump’s Victory
Following the election, social media quickly filled with videos of liberals grappling with Harris’s defeat in an intense, close race. Many of these clips captured moments of disbelief, anger, and emotional outbursts. In one post on X, a woman urged others to consider leaving their husbands, claiming that Trump’s administration would move to eliminate the no-fault divorce option—a rule that allows spouses to divorce without assigning blame.

Another video showed a daughter filming her mother’s tearful reaction as she watched the election results, clinging to the hope that Harris could still win. A different clip displayed a young woman angrily cursing those who didn’t vote for the vice president or chose not to vote at all.

In another instance, a young woman recorded herself crying in her bathroom as her boyfriend watched the election results from the living room. Another woman sobbed with her cat beside her, set to the somber tune of Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? Meanwhile, X user Alex Jones shared a compilation of these emotional responses, calling it the “Best of Leftist Trump Victory Meltdowns.”
Online Reactions to the Emotional Videos
Rather than offering sympathy, many online users took the opportunity to mock the reactions in these videos. One commenter noted, “All of those adult children chose to film themselves having a ‘breakdown’. That tells you all you need to know.” Another user shared a humorous video with the caption, “Sound on, but not too loud.”
One individual joked, “Wait… you mean all the calling us ‘Nazis’ and ‘threats to their democracy’ didn’t bring home the win for them last night? Weird.” Another user remarked, “That would be my liberal friends. Bless their hearts. I slept like a baby.” In a lighthearted twist, one person even asked, “Can anyone post their favorite Liberal Tears Martini recipes for happy hour tonight? Thanks in advance.”
The internet’s mixed reactions showcase the broad spectrum of emotions and responses following this election, highlighting both the intense reactions from Trump’s opponents and the contrasting responses from his supporters.
