Whoopi Goldberg refuses to name Trump, but she’s not an election denier.
Despite calls for people to vote, more than 10 million Americans appear to have participated in the 2024 election. Only a small percentage of low voter turnout is the result of voter suppression.
Whatever the cause, the world either went to sleep distressed after Election Day or woke up to grim news. And the co-hosts the view This was no exception.
Everyone copes in their own way. In the case of Whoopi Goldberg, she refused to name the disgraced former and future presidents.
Whoopi Goldberg ‘still won’t say his name’ after the dark events of November 5.
“So what happened last night?” Whoopi Goldberg asked during a conversation on November 6. illustration of view. As you can see and hear in the video below, the room was filled with tension and despair.
She acknowledged that, barring a miracle, Donald Trump will resume occupying the Oval Office in January 2025.
“He is the president.” Whoopi admitted. “I won’t say his name yet. “That won’t change.”
“It’s very disturbing,” said Sunny Hostin. “If you look at the New York Times this morning, the headline was ‘America Makes a Dangerous Choice.’”
She recalled: “I don’t think we knew what we were going to get from the Trump administration in 2016. We now know. “Now we know he will have almost unlimited power.”
Sunny Hostin suggested the following important differences: “I’m not really worried about myself. I’m not worried about my position in life.”
Whoopi wasn’t the only panelist to address Trump’s surprising return to power.
In the broadcast on November 6th the viewSunny Hostin continued: “I’m worried about the working class. “I’m worried about my mother, a retired teacher.”
She continued: “I worry about our seniors and their social security and health care. I am worried about my children’s future. Especially my daughter, who has less rights than me.”
Sunny added, “As a woman of color, I had hope that a biracial woman married to a Jewish man could be elected president of this country.”
Regarding this election, Sunny Hostin had this to say about Trump voters: “It has nothing to do with policy. “This was a referendum on the cultural anger in this country.”
She’s not completely wrong. But she’s not entirely right either. The percentage of the voting population that votes out of spite is surprisingly large. They don’t care how much it harms them, as long as it causes more pain for others. However, there are also ‘uninformed voters’ who cannot grasp the economic and political damage that Trump’s first term will bring.
But to be clear, “ill-informed voters” is a policy failure. It is a failure of education that has been systematically destroyed for generations. And it is a failure of government to rely too much on corporate media to inform curious voters.
Joy Behar surprised some viewers.
Despite the dire results of the 2024 presidential election (and, lest we forget, the Senate), Joy Behar noted that this time, the system worked as intended.
“We live in a democratic society. people said This is what people wanted. “I vehemently disagree with the decisions made by the American people, but I am very hopeful that we have a democracy in this country,” he said.
