Fear Not, Little Lambs: Trump Will Never Take Away Your Right to Cry
Jim Goad1,081 words 
Whenever people scream, cry, and punch themselves in the face about Donald Trump, it’s predicated on some dimly conceived but barely articulated notion that he’s going to take away their “rights.”
He already had four years to take away your rights. Name ONE right that he stole from you.
The hyperbole and hysteria that this cuddly orange honey bear induces in his chronically frightened detractors has always seemed so grossly disproportionate to his words, deeds, and policies that it’s comical. When you hear that he’s going to herd women into forced-pregnancy camps, send blacks back into the cotton fields, and deport everyone who’s darker than snow, how else could a sane and fun-loving person react but to laugh?
It’s healthier than crying.

One of the most memorable images at Trump’s 2017 inauguration was the sight of a dowdy, bespectacled woman wearing a wool cap and chartreuse jacket who shrieked “NOOOOOOOO!” the moment he was declared president. She sounded as if a thousand garden shears were mutilating her soul. Her name was Jessica Starr, and although I’ve never met her nor Donald Trump, I can state with scientific certainty that she caused herself more harm that day than Donald Trump would ever care to inflict on her.
I keep odd hours, and this Election Eve, I fell asleep shortly after the polls closed on the East Coast. What a joyful surprise it was to wake up yesterday morning to learn that Donald Trump had been elected president again, and in more convincing fashion than ever. He won the popular vote, the Electoral College, and it looks as if both the Senate and House will be stacked in his favor, enabling his rapacious quest to take away everyone’s rights.
I was delighted to see that people were crying salty rivers about his reelection, while others were mocking their pain. Dastardly meme-lords had already pasted Robert DeNiro’s and Mark Cuban’s faces on that of poor Jessica Starr, the infamous “NOOOOOOOO!” woman of 2017. Some other prankster plopped Jessica’s screaming head amid a pile of trash bags being driven away by the Trump garbage truck.
Back in 2017, it looked as if an amused observer was filming Jessica. This time around, the screamers and criers are documenting their own mental breakdowns.
What sort of person films themselves crying about Donald Trump and then shares it with the world? From the looks of things, it’s mostly women and gay men.
Swaddled in a rainbow-colored pussy hat and a rainbow silk scarf, this grey-bearded freak of nature decries the “freaks of nature who call themselves Trump supporters…. I woke up to this freaking nightmare!”
Throwing conniptions in her car, a black woman on TikTok is giving Jessica Starr a run for her money in the “NOOOOOOOO!” Sweepstakes. It’s fitting, seeing as how Trump beat a white woman in 2016 and a black woman in 2024. He’s a serial woman-beater.
This mega-lipped black woman says she fears falling asleep with Trump back in office: “Yo, I’m scared to go to sleep. I might wake up a motherfuckin’ slave.”
An anonymous woman on Reddit overshares:
I thought I’d be a mess right now…but nothing. I haven’t even cried. My husband on the other hand is wailing, screaming, banging his head off the kitchen cabinets. He has a history of self-harm and I’m terrified he’s about to relapse. Our daughters are crying and asking if they’re safe and we had to compose ourselves and tell them that no, they’re not. We’re not, as a family…. But we can’t and won’t let our trans daughters be taken from us and that’s exactly what’s about to happen under a Trump/Vance presidency as residents in a deep, deep Red state. I need to cry but I just can’t. I feel like I’m living a nightmare.
I feel like living with you would be a nightmare.
A male Reddit user whines:
As a white male fighting oppression my whole adult life I think this is the death of my empathy…. How can I care about young girls denied healthcare for a pregnancy gone wrong when her own mother voted against her rights? How can I care about immigrants in cages when Hispanics voted for mass deportations? How can I care about genocide when Muslims voted for Zionists? How can I care about Jewish people when they vote for Fascists?
No one is coming for me, they never were. I was fighting for you, but fuck, I guess I won’t bother anymore.
Good idea. Stop fighting and don’t bother anymore.
As she films herself crying, this hog with a nose ring cries:
I hate to be the person that gets on here and cries, but this could break me and my parents apart because they just don’t understand what they voted for and, like, what it means and the bigotry and hatred that they stand behind and how I, like, am trying to be a good person[…] My life’s okay, I’m a white woman but my friends are not going to be okay.
Hey, lady: Ever consider that the reason your friends are not going to be okay is because they’re your friends?
Behold this blubbering redhead choking back tears as she whimpers:
We’re scared for our friends. Like you have pro-life women dying because their, their doctors are scared to treat them because of the repercussions of his last presidency.
I have no idea what that means. I don’t think she does, either.
Marvel at this young cow threatening to kill herself to spare Trump the trouble and expense of killing her: “I’m literally about to fucking kill myself and I’m not kidding!”
As it became evident that Trump was going to push past 270 electoral votes, self-harm threats came pouring in at r/SuicideWatch.
But why? Suicide is not a federal crime. Trump hasn’t threatened to make it illegal. You have a right to kill yourself. You have a right to be crazy. 
More importantly, you have a right to cry.
For all that these head cases wail about abortion and their minority friends and the transgendered, it seems as if it’s more important for them to cry, scream, act mental, and entertain suicidal ideations.
Trump is clearly not threatening any of those rights. So why all the fuss?
Crying can be healthy, or it can be unhealthy. I find it cathartic to laugh at the sight of you crying.
He’s protecting all of our rights. He’s a very nice man.
You should calm down and thank him.

I wonder why the Dems and their media shock troops and street based terrorist organizations (Antifa, BLM etc) have been ordered to stand down and not attack the fascist??
I sense that part of their plan for robbing MAGA people of our joy in victory is to not overreact and go crazy over it because they know that will make us blissfully happy so they are acting so cool with it. It’s actually disarming us.
Plus, I suspect they are trying to restore faith in the crooked system they control, like “hey look at this, Trump won, the system is fair, it really works, ya’ll are crazy for acting like it doesn’t, it does and Trump’s win and our acceptance of it is the proof!”
I mean, even the pussy-hat baby killer cat ladies have been told to stand down!!! The dog isn’t barking. It’s more than just a little suspicious. Maybe they plan to embrace him, welcome HIS acceptance of their embrace, and then watch as MAGA rejects him for this. We don’t want him playing nice with the regime, we want him putting them in jail while making room in jail for them by freeing the J6 Patriots, Derek Chauvin and all those other political prisoners presently being held hostage in America.
If they pull any big stunts now, it’s still on Bidet’s watch.
I believe they will wait until inauguration day and the days that follow to go completely apeshit, trying to provoke him into responding with force. Let’s fucking hope he does so this time.
After Trump takes office, Antifa will look for an incident to exploit.
In an old tweet from when Trump was President he said the United States would declare Antifa a terrorist organization. He should be held to that promise he made to us.
If so, Trump better not wuss out. He has a moral as well as Constitutional obligation to crush outbreaks of criminal mayhem or domestic terrorism. What he needs to do is raise up a national posse – civilian volunteers with qualified (better, unqualified) immunity to aid formal law enforcement with deportations, crushing insurrections, terrorism, etc.
It takes two to astroturf and the leftoid base simply isn’t feeling it anymore. I suspect that even if their handlers would want to stir the leftist mobs into riots, you won’t see anything approaching 2016 or the Summer of Floyd. Trump is a known quantity now, and barring a few nutters like the ones Mr. Goad highlighted, most leftists aren’t genuinely afraid of what he might do.
Just finished listening to one of the Lotus Eaters Podcasts. One of the hosts was documenting the atmosphere around a leftist University town as “very calm, like people didn’t care about Trump getting elected”. True, this was the UK, but you don’t need me to tell you how close the rest of the Anglosphere feels to US politics; the reactions we saw in Britain back in 2016 and 2020 speak for themselves.
As for the GAE establishment higher-ups, I think it’s more or less all the same to them that Trump won. The chatterboxes in the MSM take their cues from above so they’ve been mostly dispassionate themselves. I remember reading somewhere that Rachel Maddow was the only one one to throw a fit – at least among the more prominent ones?
Anyway, I might be proven wrong at the inauguration, who knows.
I teach at an American Ivy League university (I know, I know) and the atmosphere is largely the same – despondency and some anger, perhaps, but of the exhausted kind, not the actionable sort.
To answer your question all of the radicals who are willing to go to jail all pro Palestine and they’re not willing to beat people’s skulls in on behalf of people they consider genocidal Zionists the Palestinians shooting 1800 Jews really shattered the left wing coalition
I wonder why the Dems and their media shock troops and street based terrorist organizations (Antifa, BLM etc) have been ordered to stand down and not attack the fascist??
Because this time, AIPAC wants Chester Cheeto in the White House. (Last time, it probably wanted Clinton because Trump was an unknown quantity who had no track record in politics.)
The comments on Reddit are comedy gold. You can’t make that stuff up.
TDS is alive and well. I remember it well from earlier times:
Butt-Hurt Crying Hillary Voters Compilation
You’ve inadvertently proven that the AMBULANCE.mp4 clip was actually from 2016. Somehow I’m a little disappointed. On the plus side I got to watch it a couple more times. It really is a gem.
Even if one turned out to be a rerun, I say it’s all solid gold. My fave was the “freaks of nature” dude. Does he not realize the irony? Anyway, PJW came out with an updated waterworks video:
Leftists Cry Over Trump Winning
Don’t miss the dude ripping his shirt and revealing his massive rack.
Bro, you made my day posting these videos. Thank you!
I have been looking for the longer clip of Jessica Starr for a while now and it’s above in the New York Post article link. At the eight second mark you can see her briefly glance up at the camera, proving that it was just a performance. She truly gave one for the ages and we must forever be grateful for her eternal gift in meme form.
The “end of empathy” guy is a fascinating document of something I am seeing in the Zeitgeist as white liberals turn on Jews and non-whites for not being faithful members of the Left coalition. Let’s hope this split widens.
Back in June 2023, the newly elected Muslim majority council in Hamtramck, Michigan promptly banned pride flags. The liberal activists felt betrayed as they had worked to get the Muslims elected. It really is amazing to see how naïve the liberals are with regards to their fellow travellers.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/17/hamtramck-michigan-muslim-council-lgbtq-pride-flags-banned
What does the modern Left have if it turns on nonwhites? I guess they would still have feminism and LGBT issues but that’s not a large enough coalition to win. They’ve long since abandoned the working class. It just seems like nonwhite advocacy has been their core issue for years, so I don’t know what they look like without it.
The phenomenon of histrionic liberal crocodile tears is fascinating. They are faking, we know they are faking, they know we know they are faking, and they keep on faking. And it still gets the reinforcement they desire from their peers.
They’re not all faking
They are playing to cameras. It is not candid. It is contrived.
This is so correct. These idiots only communicate through being “seen” on video and outrage/hysteria makes them feel the most seen of all. It is their medium of power.
Performative hysteria. Should be listed in the DSM as a mental disorder. Time to bring back the full frontal lobotomy.
One online genius who voted for Kamala said he was leaving the US to move to Hawaii since Trump won. You can’t make this up.
I would tell him to go to Guam, but unfortunately Trump flipped it. Hank Johnson was right all along.
My GF and I had a good laugh at that one! I wonder if he’ll figure it out when he arrives and tries to get his money changed for Hawai’ian currency.
More seriously, I figure that 99% of the people who proclaim they’ll leave if the Stupid Party candidate defeats the Evil Party candidate never get around to moving. Too bad… May I suggest Haiti?
Haiti…my thoughts exactly. He would probably feel more at home there.
Reminds me of the autobio of the rock manager who is most famous for stealing Gram Parsons’ body according to the deceased’s wishes and burning it in Joshua Tree Park in the desert. Later, he managed a famous country star. On the trip to tour Europe, when their plane landed at Schiphol or wherever, the manager had a little fun when he noticed the star about to put on his Walkman. He said, “wait, [name]! In Europe they got different electricity, let’s go buy some batteries at the store here.” His charge dutifully believed him. Feel free to circulate this story substituting your least favorite most obnoxious black celebrity for the country star.
He is a “genius”, of sorts. That statement evinces a profound racio-historical understanding. An American moving to Hawaii is indeed exchanging his country for a foreign one.
You folks have said it well. Not a lot that I can add.
However,
At this point I say that we must maintain strict vigilance. We know that those leftists are up to something because they are 0f their father the devil. If you don’t believe in the devil, the face of evil, look around you at any public gathering. Even if you don’t believe in God, you will sense the viciousness out there.
Thank you Mr. Goad for another perceptive commentary on the world.
Eleatic Cavalier
Yes! It was when I could finally see the evil spirit of antichrist in the world (“during covid”) and even worse, that I was a part of it, that I decided to turn from it and run to the savior. Not long after, I was baptized and joined a local baptist church.
Thank you, sir.
It’s encouraging to know, that there are comrades out there.
Best regards to you and yours.
Let us fight on!

I couldn’t find the isolated video but watch this at 5:09 for the funniest example I’ve seen yet of an election meltdown. Trust me, it won’t disappoint.

The riff on Jump Around made me laugh out loud
The reaction has been hilarious. The libtards’ mental illness and dysfunction is in plain sight for everyone to see. Of course, most of it is performative, pathetic lunacy, but there are some who have made serious threats against themselves. I’ve read of it at least one libtard who took her own life. I shed no tears for such blatant stupidity. I just hope she doesn’t have any children and the gene pool is correcting itself.
Noted historian and go-to for all things super important and whatnot Whoopi Goldberg once said she worries about being a slave, and yet she doesn’t name, nor do I know of anyone, who wishes to own a Whoopi Goldberg…
Like she’s not already a slave to ABC/Disney.
Everyone needs to share this one far and wide.
I remember that C-C ran an article after the “NOOOOOO!!!!!” incident. The author said he didn’t feel contempt; instead, he felt compassion for that strange woman. It was very touching. And the anxiety of people such as her could be alleviated by a national divorce. I can’t remember who wrote it.
Just an aside on this part:
—Swaddled in a rainbow-colored pussy hat and a rainbow silk scarf, this grey-bearded freak of nature decries the “freaks of nature who call themselves Trump supporters…. I woke up to this freaking nightmare!”—
That guy is a comedian (who I guess still has a YouTube channel?) I have no idea what his name is.
He’s mocking the libtards, he’s not one of them. Brilliantly mocking them, I might add.
Hunter Wallace at Occidental Dissent used to post his clips.
It’s Steve “Mudflap” McGrew, and the character is called Liberal Larry.

There could be an entire book on Trump derangement syndrome, and Mr. Goad is the man to do it. Or at least a recurring segment in his column or show…. This week’s tears of derangement…
It’s funny. I was chatting briefly with a young gay man who posted that some closet gay men were cheering trump’s win despite him coming after the gays. I thought it was strange they would say this and asked what exactly he was going to come after? He could only say he thought it was ironic but couldn’t name anything specific trump would do that’s negative for gay men. This sort of encapsulates the left at this point. All they have left is hysteria and it’s self driven. It’s Republicans that need to remain vigilant. Crazed shooters are clearly out there with little government pushback. Antifa is certainly still a threat to everyone. I hope trump can step up and protect us.
In just one day the derangement syndrome grows further, breeding in the back alleys of … TikTok. I’m hearing about something called the 4B movement, in which ultra leftist feminist women are advocating all women refuse to date, marry, have sexual relations with men or bear children. Apparently originating in South Korea, do you imagine the two women behind this look like the lasses of Crayon Pop? Wait for the drumroll and then view on.
As always, the progressives fail to notice that cratering their birth rate just leads to their replacement with even more conservative, patriarchal immigrants. In a Michigan city, a Muslim majority took hold of city counsel and banned pride flags on city property. They didn’t see that one coming. It’s as if the rainbow blinders stunted their vision.
When you hear that he’s going to herd women into forced-pregnancy camps, send blacks back into the cotton fields, and deport everyone who’s darker than snow, how else could a sane and fun-loving person react but to laugh?
Or hope they’re right…
