To be fair, anyone who cares what a celebrity thinks about politics should find better sources

There is politics, and then there is the situation we find ourselves in now. If you stay silent, you are alienating rational adults. Good luck appealing to maga.

You must be MAGA, Josh. Because anyone who’s not and has the world’s attention should want to fight for change.

He’s on fucking Megan Kelly’s show. Guess what his politics are.

Awe man. How disappointing. And stupid. He literally is not being silent by saying this.

What politics are you talking about Josh? Cause if you wanna stay quiet on the roll back on basic civil liberties to not piss anyone off you kinda arent great.
Edit: Got him mixed up with Tim Olyphant

Thats a lots of words to say “Im a MIGA bitch”

You don’t want to get political? Don’t go on Megyn Kelly’s show.

I’m so tired of celebrities ruining my favorite entertainment.

Yikes. Even Michael Jordan abandoned his “republicans buy shoes too” approach in the past decade after seeing all the heinous shit going on in our country.
Ironic that Josh is probably alienating a huge part of his audience by saying this. Oh well, he’s a budget Timothy Olyphant in my book anyway.

Aka I’m right wing and I know that’s not popular because of the evil.

The only people that say this are conservatives who want anyone that don’t share their views and values to stay quiet.
Creepy_Trouble_5980 on
Because less than 30% if Americans support Conservative billionaires?

Have some balls and some integrity.

He’s MAGA and a coward.

Celebs have a bigger platform that can reach more people. They also pay taxes it’s their right to be vocal even if you don’t like what they are saying.
I however don’t believe we need any more celebrities running for office but again that’s their right if they choose to do so.

Years ago I might’ve agreed with the sentiment, until now that I’ve realized this is MAGA talking point.

Those who say nothing are just as bad as those who are doing the wrong.

As a publicist…he’s absolutely correct. You’re going to alienate your audience no matter what side you’re on.
TheGhostofWoodyAllen on
Yes, from a purely capitalistic viewpoint, why would you risk losing some amount of potential revenue? This is why amorality is materially indistinguishable from immorality and why pretending politics is not inherent to culture itself is childish at best.

Because having an opinion, and sticking to it in the face of opposition, is a sign of character. And character is a brand that will resonate for many years to come.

You’re getting paid either way, man. Unlike people who work normal jobs and talk politics online.
GuyMansworth on
Lol every time they do this they turn out to be MAGA.
Bro won’t stay silent. Bro will not face any fallout from not staying silent. Then he’ll complain about free speech.
Conservatives are so fucking stupid.
xcbsmith on
I hate this take. It presumes politics always boils down to picking a side and mindlessly backing them. Real political discourse is about issues that are important to real people, and often they don’t divide the country. There are tons of issues that Congress has done little about that 80+% of the public are in favour of. Maybe lend your voice to those issues?

lol doing the right thing idiot

He just did. His opinion/silence says it all.

In Russia, going against the government is not a branding issue. It is how people fall out of windows or end up in psychiatric institutions. Staying quiet might start as fear of losing fans, but it can turn into fear of losing your life. Do nothing now and it only gets worse later.
PartyMonsterAdore on
Yes, why split his audience of 10 into 5? Come on now, y’all. Be kind. /s
emmsmum on
Wait, is this why he and fergie split?? Posssibly?
Zeroproblems22 on
He has an audience?
nxtdoortease on
Is he even relevant anymore?

I’ll take Timothy Olyphant over Duhamel any day of the week.

Okay so he’s maga. That makes sense
Fickle-Ad2042 on
That is certainly one way to out yourself

Life is inherently political. Pretending to avoid it because you’re financially secure and of the hegemonic group isn’t an excuse.
Chance_Contest1969 on
MAGA man said what?
medyolang_ on
needing to have celebrities validate your politics is sort of pathetic
No_Information_2826 on
Yeah fuck him 1000%. Now is not the time to be silent. Silence in this time is using a megaphone to scream „I’m a sympathizer!“ Easy to do, I guess, as a wealthy, straight, white male in this country right now.
_tomato_paste_ on
I mean… I’d rather most of them stay silent because a lot of these people don’t have informed or intelligent takes in general
Previous_Soil_5144 on
Integrity? Common sense? Patriotism?
It’s like he’s asking why would he do or say anything that might inconvenience him for the sake of other people and future generations.
sumguyonhisfone on
Why do celebrities have to say anything? Do these fools not realize their words have weight no matter what they say? Sit down, shut up if you don’t want to be political.
shoguncdn on
Yeah why speak up for something when you have so much privilege.

Silence = condonation

Staying silent will alienate half your audience.
