Let’s drown out the screaming in our heads with some despairing celebrity tweets
As America continues to teeter on the brink of total disaster—like a gold-mad Michael Caine at the end of The Italian Job—it seemed like now might be a good moment to drown out our own rampaging anxieties and check in with the country’s citizenry, get a sense of the national mood. That part of the nation with at least a million Twitter followers to its check-mark-verified name, anyway, because rest-assured, celebrities are feeling just as freaked out right now as the rest of us.
And while there are a few voices calling for calm—noted stoics Dan Rather and Nick Offerman among them—tonight’s upsettingly close election is mostly serving as a chance for people to see what it looks like when the entirety of Hollywood loses its collective shit, appalled at the idea that a glowing orange rage golem might be on his way to the White House. (Or the Gold House, as it might soon be known.)
