Robert De Niro and Lizzo lead celebrity reactions to Biden announcement - eviltoast

Mark Ruffalo spoke about what’s next, and told his followers we have our “marching orders”.
"No to Trump/Vance. No to the right-wing Christian religious takeover of our nation. Nothing wrong with Christianity; just shouldn’t be running a nation birthed from freedom of religion.”

Appreciate someone saying this loud and proud.

    Why do any of us care about celebrity input, are they well versed in the world politics? Are they very up to date on serious social matters? Quit making these people who they play on a screen.

      If an actor plays a role that demonstrates a quality, you expect that actor to understand that quality, and have a good idea of whether someone is being genuine or not when they display that quality.

      Imagine if Chris Evans publicly criticized Trump. Evans has played a douchebag in Scott Pilgrim AND Captain America. He had to study what qualities douchebags have and what qualities are genuinely patriotic. I bet he understands full well that Trump is more like the Nazis Captain America fought than the service members Captain America fought with.
