In a moment that’s sure to bring a smile to conservatives across the nation, the co-hosts of ABC’s *The View* openly admitted their “misery” following President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding 2024 victory. The confessions unfolded during the November 20th broadcast, sparked by on-air tension that the panel couldn’t seem to shake.
It began with a heated squabble among the hosts before cutting to a commercial break. Upon returning, Whoopi Goldberg attempted to smooth things over, describing the clash as the natural outcome of “differing opinions.”
“We’re having a conversation,” Goldberg began, visibly flustered. “This is the beauty of people who have different opinions. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes *we’re* messy.” She vaguely suggested that an unexplained tension in the air was driving the hostility. “There’s something in the air,” she mused.
Joy Behar, never one to hold back, seized the moment to lay blame squarely on Trump’s victory, admitting outright how devastated she and her ideological counterparts are over the election results.
“You know what’s in the air, Whoopi?” Behar interrupted. “Trumpism. We lost the election. We’re miserable. Half of this country is miserable. Let’s just tell the truth—we hate that he won.” Her dramatic confession set social media ablaze, with conservatives gleefully circulating the clip as proof of the left’s meltdown over the triumph of what Behar derisively called “Trumpism.”
Goldberg, trying to regain control of the segment, turned her frustration toward the teleprompter, sarcastically chastising it for adding to the chaos. “Stop blaming me,” she said, gesturing to the machine. “Do what you’re supposed to do.”

Who else is absolutely loving this? 🤣

Behar’s remarks sent ripples through social media, with conservatives relishing the public unraveling of the left’s narrative. One X user, known simply as “Jack,” captured the sentiment, posting, “Joy Behar on *The View*: ‘We lost the election. We’re miserable. Half of this country is miserable.’ Who else is absolutely loving this? 🤣”
Another commenter quipped, “They didn’t mind when we were miserable for 4 years. In fact, they loved it! Now it’s our turn!”
However, others weren’t convinced by Behar’s claim that half the country shares her despair. “It’s not ‘half the country,’” one post argued. “It’s a loud, highly funded, and coordinated *minority* pretending their outrage represents the majority. The real majority of this country is *not* aligned with these angry dividers.”
The election of Donald Trump—bolstered by sweeping victories in key swing states and a robust popular vote—has triggered an existential crisis for the progressive elite. Behar’s candid admission of misery, coupled with the palpable tension on *The View*, underscores the depth of their disappointment.
For conservatives, the spectacle offers a moment of vindication after enduring years of media disdain and relentless opposition from left-wing pundits. As one social media user aptly put it, “It’s poetic justice. They mocked us for four years. Now they’re openly admitting their misery. Karma, meet Joy.”
While *The View* may continue to tout itself as a platform for diverse perspectives, moments like these lay bare the deep ideological divides—and the inability of some to gracefully accept electoral reality. For many Americans, Behar’s lament is less a sign of shared national despair and more evidence of a liberal bubble struggling to burst.
