Curtis also took to Instagram to mourn the election results, as she emphasized that “minority groups and young people will be afraid and denied of their rights.”
“It means a sure return to a more restrictive, some fear draconian time. Many fear their rights will be impeded and denied. Many minority groups and young people will be afraid. Gay and trans people will be more afraid. We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve. For all those people, there will be those who will help you. Me included,” she expressed.

One fight at a time. One protest at a time. That’s what it means to be an American. That’s what it has always meant and will always mean regardless of the outcome,” affirmed the actress.

And if you disagree, please unfollow me,” she wrote. “Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah, that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. I 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.”
Musician Ethel Cain also posted a lengthy message on social media: “If you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.”
Trump’s return to the White House foresees an impact not just on America but across the world related to abortion, immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, press freedom, gun safety, foreign policy and climate change.
