Liberal Hollywood Celebrities Go Silent After Threatening to Leave America If Trump Won

D.Brown26 min ago
Threatening to leave America and move to another country if they don't get their way has become a common warning from spoiled liberal celebrities who demand voters kowtow to their every whim.

The 2024 election cycle was no different.

In the months leading up to the presidential election, several out-of-touch celebrities proudly declared that they would leave the country if President Donald Trump won re-election.

However, those celebrating Trump's historic victory over Kamala Harris may be disappointed if they hoped to see divisive Hollywood stars lining up at LAX with one-way tickets.

Several celebrities, including Sharon Stone, Cher, and Barbra Streisand, threatened to leave the U.S. if Trump were to be elected.

"I am certainly considering a house in Italy," Stone told the Daily Mail in July.

"I think that's an intelligent construct at this time.

"This is one of the first times in my life that I've actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression."

In a 2023 interview with the Guardian , Cher said:

"I almost got an ulcer the last time.

"If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country]."

Streisand told host Stephen Colbert that she wouldn't be able to "live in this country if he becomes president."

The actress declared that she would move to England if Trump won on November 5.

Cher, Stone, and Streisand have all gone silent since the election and have yet to announce their promised departures.

This idea of celebrities fleeing the country after an election is nothing new, says Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR.

"Every four years, you hear the same recycled rhetoric from celebrities," Eldridge said in a statement.

"It's become a running joke at this point. It's 'all talk, no walk.'"

In the last three elections, celebrities have threatened to leave if Trump is elected.

In 2016, several wealthy celebrities such as Whoopi Goldberg, Miley Cyrus, Amy Schumer, George Lopez, and more vowed to pack up their lives and move if the American people chose Trump as their elected president.

At the time of Trump's first run, Cyrus wrote on Instagram:

"My heart is broken into a 100000 pieces...

"I am moving if [Donald Trump] is my president!

"I don't say things I don't mean!"

She later posted an emotional video on X accepting Trump as president and asking him to "treat people with love."

On BBC's "Newsnight" that same year, Schumer promised British viewers:

"My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain or somewhere.

"It's beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It's just too crazy."

She later said her remarks were just "said in jest" as she expressed her disappointment with the 2016 election results on Instagram.

On Wednesday, celebrities flocked to social media to express their thoughts on Trump's victory over failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

"Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights," Christina Applegate wrote on X.

"Against disability rights. Yeah that.

"Unfollow me because what you did is unreal.

"Don't want followers like this. So yeah. Done.

"Also after today I will be shutting down this fan account that I have had for so many years because this is sick."

Applegate's account is still active at the time of publishing.

Singer Mandy Moore shared her thoughts on her Instagram stories, writing:

"Shout out to all of us processing our grief, disbelief, anger, fear, uncertainty, devastation while simultaneously carrying on with life and putting on a brave face for our families...I see you.

"Let's be tender with ourselves and one another."

Not all celebrities were expressing their outrage over Trump's decisive win, however.

Hulk Hogan, who has voiced his support for Trump, wrote:

"Believe it or not, brother, we're more alike than we are different.

"This election season showed just how much we all care about where this country's headed.

"Now that the votes are in, let's remember—it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, we're all real Americans.

"It's time to come together, talk with our neighbors, and focus on what unites us.

"We all love this country, and we're all in for building a better future. Love you all. HH."
