When the results came in, and it became clear that Trump had secured a landslide victory across the electoral college and the popular vote, America’s beloved liberal commentary panel on “The View” completely unraveled. Watching these so-called voices of the people react was pure entertainment—if not a little eye-opening. Their utter disbelief and profound distress over Trump’s win reveal just how out of step they are with everyday Americans.
From Sunny Hostin’s deep concerns to Joy Behar’s bemused shock, the co-hosts couldn’t fathom how, once again, Trump managed to sweep the nation by storm. Well, sit back and enjoy, because their reactions deserve to be preserved as a testament to just how detached the media elites have become.
How Out of Touch Can They Be?
The first reaction, unsurprisingly, was absolute dismay. Sunny Hostin, in what can only be described as a dramatic monologue, voiced fears about the state of democracy and the safety of future generations, particularly women. According to her, Trump’s win spells certain doom—rights rolled back, the healthcare system on the verge of collapse, and mass deportations right around the corner. It was an apocalyptic picture, yet one can’t help but wonder: how does this match up with the everyday reality of millions of Americans?
For those living in “flyover country,” these reactions might be puzzling. After all, Trump didn’t just win; he won big, with the support of voters across diverse regions and backgrounds. But “The View” hosts seem convinced that anyone who supports him is either misguided or simply out of touch with their high-minded ideals. How ironic, considering these are the same folks who routinely misread the American heartland.
Joy Behar: Wrestling with Democracy’s Reality
Joy Behar, always the reliable voice of disapproval, looked particularly pained. She tried to reconcile the idea that “democracy” was apparently the top concern in the exit polls, and yet… voters still went with Trump. How could that be, she wondered aloud. Maybe—just maybe—it’s because American voters don’t buy into the doomsday narrative that “The View” is selling.
There’s something poetic about Joy’s confusion, a sort of cosmic irony that captures the disconnect between Hollywood and “real America.” Voters are tired of being told what’s best for them by people who wouldn’t last a week in their shoes. Yet here they are, lamenting the horrors to come under Trump, as if voters didn’t consider their own futures before casting their ballots. Newsflash: they did, and they voted for him anyway.
Sunny Hostin: Promising to “Fight” for Everyone…
As if her initial reaction wasn’t emotional enough, Sunny took it a step further, pledging to fight for marginalized groups as if the world’s survival hinged on her commentary. LGBTQ communities, immigrants, young girls, the elderly—you name it, Sunny promised to fight for them all. But there’s one glaring problem: those very groups are part of Trump’s support base, a reality that “The View” continues to ignore.
In fact, Trump garnered significant support from minority groups, working-class voters, and people from all walks of life. The very notion that Sunny or anyone else on “The View” is needed to save these people from themselves is, quite frankly, insulting. It’s the ultimate condescension: “You don’t know what’s good for you, so we’ll help you see the light.” For these viewers, the light came in the form of a Trump win.
A Comical Commitment to “Democracy”
What really takes the cake, however, is “The View’s” obsession with the concept of democracy—as long as it works in their favor. Joy Behar actually sounded shocked when she acknowledged that democracy was the top issue in exit polls, despite Trump’s win. Imagine being so far removed from the pulse of the nation that you’re bewildered by a democratic outcome that doesn’t align with your worldview!
Joy even speculated that maybe voters just didn’t believe Trump when he made bold promises about his leadership approach. But here’s the thing: maybe they did. Maybe voters knew exactly what they were signing up for, and maybe that’s precisely what the American people wanted. Perhaps, in a refreshing change, voters wanted a leader who doesn’t sugarcoat, doesn’t play political games, and isn’t afraid to say what he means.
Real America vs. The Bubble
Ultimately, this episode of “The View” revealed more than just their disdain for Trump. It revealed just how deeply they’re entrenched in a media bubble that has no connection to the everyday realities faced by millions of Americans. For these hosts, Trump’s win isn’t just a political loss; it’s an existential crisis that they genuinely cannot comprehend. The way they see it, “real America” should reflect their own progressive values and their elitist disdain for Trump.
Yet here we are. Trump won, and won big. His victory is a stark reminder that Americans are fed up with being lectured by people who only represent the narrowest slice of society. Instead of seeing this as an opportunity to reflect, “The View” hosts doubled down on their condescension, showing the world exactly why they’re so out of touch.
Final Thoughts
While the ladies of “The View” might be shaken, the rest of the country seems to be moving forward just fine. After all, this election wasn’t a glitch—it was a mandate, and it’s time they accepted it. The irony is almost too rich: they preach about democracy yet balk when democracy doesn’t go their way. They see themselves as champions of “the people,” but only if those people agree with their worldview.
In the end, this meltdown only cements one thing: the divide between Hollywood elites and “real America” is alive and well. And as long as they remain this oblivious, they’re bound to face more “shocking” election nights in the future.
