As the DMK found itself trailing for most part of the day of counting on 4 May 2026, the meltdown suffered by supporters or rather ‘Oopies’ was telling.
Celebrations were already planned in Arivalayam with tents set up and crackers ready. However, ADMK took the early lead and TVK was a close second in the first few hours of counting. Seeing this, everything was dismantled at the DMK HQ.

Several of its supporters on social media were in denial mode and kept maintaining that DMK would win.
One casteist and abusive handle on social media, a DMK supporter has been in severe denial mode since the morning. He continuously kept repeating that since voting was not over, TVK won’t form the government and DMK would, instead.
He claimed Kolathur constituency where MK Stalin is contesting had superior development. But the people were not loyal enough to vote for him.
Here are some more gems from the same handle.
The whining has been non-stop.
Now let’s look at a few others who suffered meltdown.
110 இடத்துல திமுக ரெண்டாவது இடம்.. அதுல 60 இடத்துல 1000 க்கும் குறைவான வாக்கு வித்தியாசம்.
கண்டிப்பா காட்சி மாறும்.🔥🔥

Some handles that are not from TN but have been pretending to be, also went from ‘TN is educated because of DMK’ to ‘collective shame and embarassment’ just because the state voted DMK out of power.
Since MK Stalin has been trailing in Kolathur, the supporters, ie, Oopies have started blaming the people.
The DMK supporter/influencer oopie who lives in the US and abused TVK voters as ‘Otteri nari’ ‘Dumeel Kuppam Vavval’ suffered a meltdown calling people having a ‘cinema disease’. Well, the DMK itself used MGR’s cinema presence and fame to win the 1967 election. Karunanidhi was a scriptwriter, so was Annadurai. MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin launched themselves through cinema.
Another insufferable supporter even quoted Thirukural with Karunanidhi’s commentary shaming voters that said something like people were ungrateful. He was indicating that if one didn’t vote for the DMK, they were useless.
Some went on to claim that TN would now become a UP or Bihar.
TNM editor in chief Dhanya Rajendran who almost rubbished the Axis My India exit poll earlier
seemed to have jumped ship to be on the good side of the incoming government.
Here are a few more who pretend that the world would collapse because MK Stalin would not going to be Chief minister.
A few others again mocked the people for taking all the freebies from the DMK and still voting for TVK.
Another one abused the voters as idiots.
While the DMK is leading in about 56 constituencies and won 3, the supporters, ie Oopies will still take time to come out of denial and go through the five stages of grief before accepting reality.
