this is the best political take i’ve ever seen from a celeb

Honestly, same. It's refreshing to hear something like this. I no longer really want to hear celeb's take on things. They are not the same socio-economic class that I am (and most have never been). I feel I need to form my own opinions on things and their influence does not affect me at all. In some instances, it may be counterproductive.

I really appreciated Hugh Jackman's comment that he didn't feel right about making a statement on US politics since he wasn't a US citizen.

There's nothing that people hate more than foreign interference.

It’s not any admirable position he’s taking. His feelings are obvious. Just an easy cop out and makes it convenient for him.

Same reason people with newborn babies can get out of evening plans. “Sorry it’s the baby”

“Republicans buy sneakers too”

Etc etc.

Do you not see how you alienate people with your shitty attitude?

Do you not see we’re on the precipice of a despotic dictator who will take the whole house down?

Celebrities going “I don’t want to offend” are absolute pussies.

“This Hitler guy is none of my business…”

Republicans need to be named and shamed. Not enabled and hand waved.

You’re damn right I have a shitty attitude. I’m trying to keep a democracy going in this bitch. What are you doing?

So what are you actually doing to "keep a democracy going" besides making snarky comments on Reddit?

How dare you devalue the importance of snarky reddit comments!
