Conservative Twitter users are revelling in their predicted victory by mocking devastated Labour supporters.
Left-wingers are expressing their anger at the ‘rich, privileged white men who’ve ruined our country’ as an exit poll indicates a majority for Boris Johnson – with a predicted 368 seats compared to 191 for Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Corbyn appears to have presided over the worst performance for his party since 1935 – and his fans took to social media to express their severe dismay at Britain’s voters.
The Canada hashtag also started trending, with people expressing their desire to move away and be ‘saved’ by Justin Trudeau.
Conservative fans delighted in the outpouring of ‘lefty tears’, posting memes that mock their left-wing rivals’ distraught Twitter posts.
One amused Twitter user said: ‘Are you getting ready to drink all those lefty tears? I think we’re going to need a bigger cup’

Johnson backers expressed their desire for left-wingers to ‘genuinely [consider] the concerns of those on the right and [stop] dismissing them.’
Others simply mocked their heartbroken adversaries, revelling in their ‘tears of sadness’.
Twitter user Gavin Boyne said: ‘Oh look, the ”if you vote Tory you’re a bigot and a racist and a fascist” tactic didn’t work. It didn’t work with Trump either. It’s about time people on the left genuinely considered the concerns of those on the right and stopped dismissing them’
One Twitter user expressed how ‘absolutely heartbroken’ she was, and another responded with a GIF telling her to’sit your salty a** down and just deal with it!’

Several Johnson detractors expressed that they were crying, with some revealing they were ‘literally shaking’ at the thought of their candidate losing.

@YasmineSumman said: ‘It wasn’t the Grinch that ruined Christmas this year, just the British Government #GeneralElection.’
Leyla posted a GIF of a woman running out of a house with the caption: ‘Me leaving the country knowing we’re f***ed cuz most of the UK has voted for a racist, homophobic, sexist party & and we’re gonna have no NHS or help for anyone but the wealthy’
Twitter users expressed their horror at indications that the Conservative Party would win a Parliamentary majority
The SNP are predicted to get 55 MPs – approaching a clean sweep in Scotland – and the Liberal Democrats effectively stalled on 13 after an all-out Remain campaign by leader Jo Swinson – who could now lose her own East Dunbartonshire seat.
Without explicitly claiming victory this evening, Mr Johnson tweeted a ‘thank you’ to ‘everyone across our great country who voted, who volunteered, who stood as candidates’.
One user responded: ‘Fascism, the country voted for fascism.’
Another said: ‘I’m going to apply for a French passport. I can take my family with me. I can’t take it.’

Other social media users expressed their belief that the country had been ‘ruined’ following the election result.
Kirsty H said: ‘And just like that our country was ruined forever #GeneralElection.’
Georgia Smith wrote: ‘I’m embarrassed of this disgrace of a country, well done to all the racists & bigots who have ruined our society, good luck to you all when the Tories f*** us over even more #GeneralElection.’
