Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, Ben Stiller, Bill Maher and many more Jewish celebrities have taken to social media to freak out over Donald Trump’s victory. Zero percent of Americans are surprised by this.

The provocative comedian made a Holocaust reference by quoting Ann Frank in a tweet which is sure to make a lot of people angry.

Today Handler is more somber re-tweeting this:
We must not despair. We must not be overwhelmed or throw up our hands. It is time to roll up our sleeves and fight for who we are!

Ben Stiller also re-tweeted this gem from Carl Reiner:
Donald Trump has given me, who is 94, the deep desire & will to live to 98 so I can vote for whoever runs against him.

The Big Bang Theory Star was not subtle. Mayim Bialik also made a Holocaust reference.
My grandparents were immigrants who fled hitler. I'm glad they didn't live to see the country they so loved embrace this platform of hate.
— Mayim Bialik (@missmayim) November 9, 2016
And she said this before going to bed:
Goodnight, America. There are no more words. Just goodnight.

The Real Time host has been conspicuously silent since it became official. Where is Bill Maher? Judging from his earlier posts, Maher must be too upset right now to speak. And knowing him, Maher’s mouth is probably wrapped around a bong right now.
Before the results came in Maher posted this:
Pls vote for Hillary today. Even if you don't like her, its necessary to block a dangerous lunatic ultimate power. #ThisTimeIsDifferent
— Bill Maher (@billmaher) November 8, 2016
And this:
Shit just got real. #UseYourVote #Millennials pic.twitter.com/nbNQ09pwPI
— Bill Maher (@billmaher) November 8, 2016
So thank you Bill Maher, Sarah Silverman, Emmy Rossum, Chelsea Handler and all the rest. But your target audiences have probably missed your tweets as they are all getting drunk right now to drown their sorrows.
