Can you get past an actors politics

[BarryinIN]

If they hold a belief opposing mine and keep it private, I don’t care. Ideally, I shouldn’t know what they think about hot topics.

If they want to preach to me about it, I don’t want to hear it. With some exceptions, that also includes if we are on the same side.
That’s not why I bought a ticket (again, with some exceptions, like at the NRA Annual Meetings).

You are an entertainer, so entertain. Sing, play, act, perform. If you aren’t doing that, I don’t want to see or hear you.

Everyone thinks they know best, I get that but Hollywood seems to think they have to TELL you how to think

I loved the Marvel's AVENGER series, then Mark Ruffalo had to ruin it for me. Whats next is some beer company gonna use a trans to advertise for them? I mean no one could be that stupid

Seating is important too but you also wanna eat where you can make sure no one adds any special sauce to your food.

And to check for previous inmates manning the grill.

I don't care. I'm not a person that would be persuaded by a performers views. I can always get up and leave, change the streaming service, or don't purchase the merch. Look at the posts here. Imagine what some could do if given the opportunity to speak to millions at one time

There are so many actors that I used to love, then I see them making political speeches. It took me years to get past Jane Fonda's treason and Im not sure I really ever did. I used to love Bruce Springsteen but I cant deal with his political BS anymore.

I really liked the Dixie Chics and they could say whatever they wanted but when they started bitching overseas I took exception ....and by the way their career dumped afterwards

To be clear, they are welcome to their politics (even if I disagree) but their job is to ACT

there was a time, like when Johnny Carson was on the Tonight Show, that politics was not really spoken by the actors, but only REAL politicians when they were a guest.......or reporters that were well know at the time, or political talk show hosts as well..

Johnny kept politics down as much as possible, and i liked that.

but as time went on. more liberal views came out of the mouths of the actors, and frankly, i did not watch any late night show to hear them anout thier views...i wanted to hear and see clips of thier upcoming movies....

so in the end, if they bash ANY party, i erase the the tape or the hard drive now.

I get taken aback to anyone famous using their platform to make a political statement.

this....^^^^


say whatever you want, no matter who you are, actor, pro-athlete, amature athlete.....

ON AMERICAN SOIL......NEVER foreign land...!!!!!!!!

Liam Neeson very anti-gun. Haven't watched one of his movies in years

 

[Wirenut]

Funny how those hollywood nobody's are mostly anti-gun until they need one in their career to make money.

Liam Neeson very anti-gun. Haven't watched one of his movies in years

Ironic for a guy who uses guns so much in his films. But then he grew up in the U.K.

this is why i did not watch ONE OLYMPIC game...some nitwit spoke out about politics, and i read about it, and cancelled them..of course my wife, likes the figure skating and dancing events, ( i think nearly all women do) so that's all she watched.

Waiving the American flag, reciting our Oath to the Constitution and Pledge of Allegiance then our Bill of Rights and recalling the poem "The New Colossus", which includes this passage:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

It's hard to understand how we got here as a nation of immigrants.

Yet, I am a Son of the American Revolution!
