Before deleting her X account, Bette Midler posted a quote from H.L. Mencken, which read: “When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost… All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Christina Applegate posted three tweets in response to Trump's latest win.

"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 said in her first post.

The mom-of-one asked her followers on X to unfollow her if they "voted against female rights. Against disability rights." She also announced she would shut down her account after the 2024 election.

Applegate wrote on her third tweet, "I apologize. I'm still reeling and sobbing. But I'm not angry anymore. Just going to go back to my bubble and watch a s--- ton of Bravo shows So peace to all. I suggest you do the same. Very soothing."

On Instagram, Jamie Lee Curtis wrote a lengthy caption as the election results came in.

She said, "Many will be celebrating, possibly even gloating over their victory. Many will be stunned and sad with the terrible feelings of the loss. That is the same result despite who wins because that's what America and democracy looks like. Has always looked like."

"It means a sure return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian time. Many fear their rights will be impeded and denied. Many, minority groups and young people will be afraid. G-- and trans people will be more afraid. We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve. For all those people there will be those who will help you. Me included," the Freaky Friday star continued.

Curtis added being an American means "we wake up and fight" for "women and our children and their futures and fight against tyranny, one day at a time. One fight at a time. One protest at a time."

She ended her message by encouraging everyone to be gentle with others.

Former President Barack Obama and his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, took to Instagram to congratulate Donald and J.D. Vance on their victory.

Part of their joint message read, "This is obviously not the outcome we had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view won't always win out, and being willing to accept the peaceful transfer of power."

"Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governor [Tim] Walz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign. And we will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers who poured their heart and soul into electing public servants they truly believed in," the Obamas added.
