Filmmaker Michael Moore declared that Americans are “not a good people” following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Moore predicted Harris cruising to victory multiple times before the presidential election and then fell relatively silent following Trump’s win. In his first Rumble podcast episode after the election, he mostly sighed and played old tunes to help better the moods of listeners.
The Canadian Bacon director made multiple Substack posts this week and in one he lashed out at Americans and compared the election victory of Trump to everything from slavery to the Vietnam War.
Moore wrote:
If you stop and think about it, we’ve come up with a lot of doozies in our history. Like the genocide of 20 million Native Americans. Or the enslavement of 12 million kidnapped Africans. Or us invading Vietnam and killing 4 million Asian people for no reason at all. We are not a good people. We have a non-stop cavalcade, a sordid laundry list of evil deeds that led us directly to last week, to the point where we the people, by popular vote, elected a 34-time convicted felon, a fascist, and a civilly-charged and convicted sexual abuser to be our 47th president of the United States. And we did so after he clearly and quite honestly warned us that he was going to do a mass round-up and deportation of nearly 15 million people.
Moore knocked Democrats over their campaign, arguing Democrats proved themselves out of touch with the administration’s support of Israel’s Gaza strikes and with the embrace of endorsements from the likes of Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney.
“It’s possible that history may be kinder to us if, next time, the working class doesn’t see our candidate campaigning with Wall Street billionaires. Or having to watch the campaign celebrate being endorsed by war criminals,” he wrote.
Moore ended his post with some mental health suggestions, telling his readers to be the “anti-Trump” by reading, listening to women, and practicing kindness. Other recommendations included joining some kind of group or “community,” going “outside the mainstream media,” and forgiving someone.
In another post, Moore assured fellow liberals this will all just end up being a “bad dream” and jokingly recommended not resort to violence on Thanksgiving.
“You may wonder if perhaps there was a better use for that mashed potato masher utensil sitting there on the kitchen counter at Thanksgiving. But reason will prevail,” he wrote. “You will come to your senses. And you will cling to a newfound hope that this was all really just a bad dream and had nothing to do with how many doors you or I didn’t knock on in 2024…”
