Saturday Night Live have taken aim at white privileged Democrats' incredulous reaction to Donald Trump's victory.

Guest host Dave Chappelle and former cast member Chris Rock joined SNL for a sketch mocking the stunned white Hillary Clinton voters who simply couldn't fathom that their candidate had lost on Wednesday.

'Oh my god, I think America is racist!' one Clinton supporter, played by Cecily Strong proclaims after Trump won the election.

'Oh my god!' mock Chapelle and Rock, who were not the least surprised that the majority of America had voted for the divisive Republican.

'You know I remember my great great grandfather told me about something like that,' Chappelle added. 'But he was a slave or something.'

Another white liberal, showing an embarrassing lack of self awareness, announced: 'This is the most shameful thing America has ever done' - to the amusement of Chappelle and Rock who burst out laughing.

'Don't worry, it's going to be all white,' Rock joked.

The sketch opened with a group of excitable Clinton supporters at an election night viewing party, discussing the 'historic night' as they speculated Hillary would win by a landslide.

'My friend at the Huffington Post says she wins by five points,' says Strong. 'Oh I don't know my friend at Slate says she'll win by three,' Vanessa Bayer replied.

The group are so certain that Clinton will win, they describe their 'nightmare scenario' as Hillary winning and Trump winning the popular vote - in reality the results were reversed.

While the Clinton supporters even anticipate that there may never be another Republican president, Chappelle and Rock counselled them not to get ahead of themselves.

'Yep, this might be a historic night, but don't forget this is a big country,' Chappelle said.

As the results began to come in, the Clinton supporters watched in growing horror.

'I'm going to grab a Xanax from the bedroom,' Bayer announces.

Yet, while the Clinton supporters anticipate that there may never be another Republican president, SNL host Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock counselled them not to get ahead of themselves

'Will you grab me six?' Aidy Bryant asked.

'Yeah, I'm just going to bring the whole bottle.'

As Kentucky was announced in favor of Trump, they tried to rationalize the win.

'Well, of course he won Kentucky. That's where all the racists are!'

Chappelle's response is priceless; 'All of them are in Kentucky?' he asked incredulously.

A little unnerved, the group''s belief in Clinton is unshaken as they wait for Florida's results to come in - announcing that the state will be blue because they assume Latinos must be voting Democrat.

The white liberals even decide to toast 'to Latinos' at the party, while Chappelle looks on in amusement.

But after Florida was announced, and key state after key state fell, the group became desperate.

'You never know guys, Alaska's still out there,' Beck Bennett said in desperation, before Alaska was announced for Trump.'

When it becomes clear that Trump is winning, the confused Clinton supporters asked, 'Why aren't people turning out for Hillary the way they did for Barack Obama?'

'I mean, maybe because you're replacing a charismatic 40-year-old black guy with a 70-year-old white woman,' Rock replied. 'That's like the Knicks replacing Patrick Ewing with Neil Patrick Harris.'

'I don't get you ladies. The country is 55 percent women. If the country was 55 percent black, we'd have tons of black presidents. I mean, Flavor Flav would be president,' Rock joked.

When Trump finally won, the group was devastated.

'You guys were right. It's a historic night. Don't worry about it: eight years are going to fly by,' Chappelle said.
