Michael Moore, who once confidently predicted Trump's defeat, now criticizes Americans: 'Not a good people'
After Trump's election, Moore expressed his opposition to divisiveness: 'The majority of Americans do not want this divisiveness'
On Wednesday, liberal filmmaker Michael Moore criticized Americans for electing Donald Trump to a second term in the 2024 election, calling them "not a good people."
The director and activist predicted that Trump would lose the election, while the progressive director offered total confidence in his prediction.
"MichaelMoore.com post: We have committed many atrocities in our history, such as the genocide of 20 million Native Americans, the enslavement of 12 million kidnapped Africans, and the invasion of Vietnam, resulting in the deaths of 4 million Asian people. As a result, we are not a good people."
He criticized the election of a 34-time convicted felon, a fascist, and a civilly-charged and convicted sexual abuser as America's 47th president, citing a laundry list of evil deeds that led to this outcome.
Moore's views on Americans have undergone a significant shift since before the election.
On November 3, two days before the election, he appeared on MSNBC and encouraged his fellow citizens: "The majority of Americans do not desire divisiveness and the threat of violence. It is acceptable to have differing opinions, but that should be the extent of it."
The filmmaker stated, "Americans are generally laid-back and accept the election results regardless of who wins. Half the time, I am content with the outcome, and the other half of the time, I am not. We then proceed with our lives."
On MSNBC, he confidently predicted that Trump would be "toast," stating that Trump's supporters would be surprised by the outcome on Tuesday.
"I feel the same way as I did a few weeks ago, that Trump is done for, completely. My conviction has only grown stronger."
In October, he scoffed, "Democrats are such a fearful group of individuals," while speaking to a CNN host, "They're still convinced that Trump will win."
In his post-election critique on MichaelMoore.com, the director criticized Democrats and the Harris campaign for campaigning with Wall Street billionaires and being endorsed by war criminals, suggesting that history may be kinder to them if they don't do so in the future.
To combat Trump's campaign of cruelty, hatred, bigotry, misogyny, ignorance, and fear, we must all be kind in our daily lives.
The director urged his supporters to forgive someone, stating that it was the right thing to do, regardless of how long it had been since the offense occurred.
