Scores of Hollywood celebrities celebrated the success of left-wing candidates in Tuesday’s midterm elections and targeted President Donald Trump with slurs and hopes of his prosecution.
The midterm elections were generally a positive night for the Democrats, who gained back control of the House as well as certain governorships. However, there was less positive news for Democrats in the Senate, where Republicans have increased their majority to 54.
To any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election, just remember two words – FAKE NEWS!

Nevertheless, dozens of Hollywood celebrities took to social media to celebrate their success, declaring that the American people had rejected President Donald Trump’s agenda and Republican representatives.
Left-wing activist filmmaker Michael Moore celebrated the fact that Democrats won the popular vote, declaring that Americans had “rejected Trump and all that he stands for.”
But the best news is that once again we WON the MOST votes throughout the whole country! In all the House races combined we got 3 MILLION MORE votes than the Repubs. And TEN MILLION MORE in the Senate races! The majority of Americans rejected Trump and all that he stands for!

Director Ava DuVernay took the chance to spread conspiracy theories about “rampant voter suppression” and “gerrymandering” designed to stop a Democrat wave.
Democrats flipped the house w/ historic wins by women + people of color, some slashing decades-long red strongholds. And 1.4 million formerly incarcerated people have regained the right to vote. Despite gerrymandering + suppression. Something powerful has happened. Believe that.

The House is the PEOPLE’S house.
It’s the People who will save this country. Not overnight. Not easily. The hard work continues.
But we’ve wedged our foot in before Fascism could slam the door on Democracy.
And we’re here to stay.

Yesterday was but one day in the fight, baby. Do you view the election results as a net positive? I do. Are you satisfied? I’m fucking not. We voted & helped others vote yesterday. Today, we’re back to education, organization & direct action. And? It’s life or death. Have fun!

I'm deeply relieved that my political party, the Democratic Party will resume leadership of the U.S. House of Representative. The environment will now have some long overdue advocacy in government. And, Congress will start to put a check on this President & his administration. https://t.co/XZS2WhAmWs

Check out all the reaction below.
"Democrats were hoping for major midterm magic and they got it in the House. President Trump is reportedly already blaming Paul Ryan. He is so disappointed in the Speaker of The House, he might start calling him 'Don Jr.'" – @JimmyKimmel #ElectionNight #Midterm2018 #KimmelLIVE

Flipping the house despite all the gerrymandering was no small feat. Despite it being expected by the polls, this is still a BFD. The House has so much power to hold the president accountable. I look forward to some real oversight
