How long will the tweets go on for?
Today marks the second day of hearing America's fateful news. The tweets and social media posts by celebrities and politicians have not ceased, and they may very well keep at it for the next four years as we wait out the Trump presidency.
1. Demi Lovato got a lot of heat for posting this distasteful tweet after hearing the election results.

Mr. Trump: Want to unify Americans? Let your cabinet appointments reflect that. But Gingrich, Palin, Christie, Giuliani? These horrify many.

Our deep sympathy to those in the "public sphere" where budgets will be slashed & social justice endangered as monarch butterflies.

14. George RR Martin, author of Game of Thrones says:
"There are really no words for how I feel this morning. America has spoken. I really thought we were better than this. Guess not. Trump was the least qualified candidate ever nominated by a major party for the presidency. Come January, he will become the worst president in American history, and a dangerously unstable player on the world stage. And the decimated Democrats, a minority in both House and Senate, do not have the power to hinder him. Over the next four years, our problems are going to get much, much worse. Winter is coming. I told you so."
