Bette Midler predicted Trump would lose in 2024, then deleted her Twitter account in shame when he won 315 electoral votes.
Now she's back – with a music video calling your president a pedophile protector.
What she actually recorded and put on the internet will tell you everything about where Hollywood's resistance stands in 2026.
Midler Rewrote a Woody Guthrie Folk Song to Call Trump a Pervert
The video dropped April 24th – a reworked version of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose," a 1940s Woody Guthrie folk tune Midler updated with her own lyrics for the No Kings rallies.
She didn't just call Trump a fascist.
She sang it.
One verse goes after the Epstein files, accusing Trump of "protecting pedophiles" and calling for conservatives to "lose."
She performed this with Barbara Hershey, David Hyde Pierce, and a roster of Broadway stars – and then posted it to social media as a "joyful, powerful show of resistance."
The woman who went silent on Election Night is back, and she brought a song accusing the sitting president of protecting child predators.
Bette Midler Protest Song Follows the Same Celebrity Anti-Trump Playbook That Lost in 2024
This is the same playbook Democrats have run since 2015 – call Trump a fascist, get celebrities to amplify it, watch it fail to move a single persuadable voter.
The "No Kings" rallies on April 5th were supposed to be the resistance's big moment.
Trump was on a golf course.
His approval ratings didn't move.
And Midler – who announced before the 2024 election that she'd drink Draino if Trump won, then deleted her account when he did – decided the right move was a music video with Broadway friends calling Trump voters fascists bound to lose.
She's 80 years old.
The song was written in 1944.
The strategy hasn't worked in ten years of trying.
At some point you have to ask whether any of this is designed to win elections or just to keep the Hollywood fundraising machine humming, the activist email lists full, and aging celebrities relevant for another news cycle.
Hollywood Called 70 Million Voters Fascists and Then Lost the Election
Every time the Left calls Trump a fascist and nothing fascist actually happens, the label loses another point of credibility with voters who live in the real world.
The 2024 election data told the story plainly – Latino men broke for Trump by 20 points.
That's a group that includes millions of people with direct family experience of actual authoritarian governments.
They didn't see a fascist.
They saw a candidate they trusted more than the Democrats who've been calling them fascist-adjacent for a decade.
Midler and her circle in Beverly Hills cannot figure out why the rest of the country won't agree with them – so they record another protest song, add some pedophile accusations, and call it resistance.
She deleted her account in November 2024 because the voters gave her the answer.
The retirement hobby dressed up as a revolution is back. And it's still losing.
