Actor Ben Platt shared a viral post from X on his Instagram story that explained the “reason why educated people vote blue.”

Others tried to console disappointed Harris supporters. Actor Nick Offerman, who once wrote a parody of “Proud to be an American” called “Proud to be a Kamala Man,” shared a James Baldwin poem in the hours after the protests broke out. elections on his Instagram story.

“Love has never been a popular movement. And no one ever really wanted to be free. The world is united, truly it is united, by the love and passion of very few people. Otherwise, of course, you can despair,” the poem reads. “Walk the streets of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you need to remember is that what you are looking at is also you. Everyone you look at is you too. You could be that person. You could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide, within yourself, not to be.

Actress Julia Roberts simply posted a video of an American flag fluttering in the wind to the tune of “America the Beautiful.”

Others tried to be civil to the other side. Rapper Cardi B was among them after refusing to support Biden, but gave full-throated support to Harris once she took office in July.

“No need to be mean, you all picked your winner,” Cardi B wrote. “All we can do is stay hopeful and wish for the best.” Before Kamala joined the race, we knew how this country is organized and what was likely going to happen, but it was so inspiring to see how she fought and changed so many minds, including mine.
