Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential election has triggered a strong response from Hollywood celebrities, particularly concerning concerns over civil rights and the integrity of institutions. Wendell Pierce, a famous actor from THE WIRE, expressed his concern about the long-term impact of this victory on the Supreme Court. According to Pierce, the change in the composition of the court could last for a generation and eliminate the chances of having a moderate court in the future. This opinion underscores the fear of serious consequences that could affect the balance of power and the American legal system.

On the other hand, David Simon, the creator of THE WIRE, highlighted the potential spread of misinformation that could proliferate with Trump's return. Simon warned that social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), are likely to be flooded with lies and misinformation. He referred to the platform as a "pool of lies and misinformation," signaling concerns that false information could increasingly overwhelm the public. Both voices reflect a deep concern that a Trump administration could exacerbate polarization and undermine the integrity of public information.

2. Concerns About Women's Rights

Another concern that has emerged among Hollywood celebrities is issues related to women's rights. Actress Lili Reinhart, known for her role in RIVERDALE, voiced her sympathy and solidarity with women who may feel threatened by Trump's policies. Reinhart reminded the public of the sexual harassment allegations that have been directed at Trump, which adds to the worries about the protection of women's rights under his administration. Her voice reflects the fear that Trump's bias on various gender issues could have a negative impact on women.

Christina Applegate, actress from THE SWEETEST THING, also emotionally expressed her concerns, questioning the future of women in America under this new administration. She voiced anxious questions about what will happen next and why this situation must occur. Both actresses, in their own ways, emphasize the importance of safeguarding reproductive rights and women's freedoms, while reminding of the potential threats that may arise from Trump's policies moving forward.
