Is this guy a right winger?


According to his bio he grew up in a religious Christian household and signed up to be a Marine. He als dedicates his time for veterans. I wonder if this guy is Republican... Either way he's still creepy

Besides Eastwood and Norris, the majority of actors lean to the left so that may balance it it.

reply

That's PR. Most actors want to seem like the care about "the people" so people will like them and be interested in seeing their movies. Me ... if I find out an actor is a Republican, or talks shit about Democrats I won't pay money to see anything they do.

You talk shit about anyone who doesn't share your political beliefs. So what should we do with you???

I would LOVE if he were a republican. The celebrity world is full of flaming liberals, so maybe one more Conservative party member would help outweigh the extreme balance.
Kind of interesting to put it that way though. A man who grew up in a Christian home with a minister father and served in the military. You mean a man who was raised with morals and a sense of conscience who served a purpose larger than himself or personal gain? Sure looks like it.

THANK YOU for saying that! I agree 100% and not all, but MOST liberals are bullies who wmtionally beat you up for having an opinion of your own. Which begs the question: what are they scared of? What's wrong with staying your opinion? NOTHING. So, great job, my conservative friend!

"wmtionally beat you up..."?

Assuming you meant "emotionally", I have to ask, are you completely unaware that "conservatives" actually will PHYSICALLY beat up and KILL people who disagree with them?

Who knows this? These people:

Every woman beaten for standing up to her "conservative Christian" husband

Every gay person beaten or KILLED just for being themselves

Every black person SHOT BY COPS and then demonized on Fox News to excuse the murderous thug cop for being a racist pig

Every Sikh who wears a turban and gets beaten, stabbed, or shot by "conservatives" who think they are Muslim because the hallmark of modern conservatism is willful ignorance and BLIND HATE.

So...I think a little "emotional beating" might be in order for people who call for all Muslims to be banned, a return to stripping gays of their rights, a return to the days when women's bodies were the property of men, and a return to segregation or slavery for blacks, as many so-called conservatives have said in recent years.

To stay on topic, I don't think Adam Driver subscribes to those beliefs.

It's unfortunate to say, but a person claiming to be Christian does NOT necessarily have morals or a conscience. Too often, their claim of being Christian is done to persuade others of their righteousness so they can live lives of wanton abandon and say they're saved by the blood of Christ so they can sin all they want to.

And a person who joins the military is not necessarily doing it for a purpose greater than themselves. Often they do it for the myth of personal glory they think they'll find in war. Others join to get free money for college, like the young people voting for Bernie Sanders. Some do it because they like the idea of torturing and murdering people and getting called a hero for it.

Adam strikes me, though, as someone with character and a human heart. I think he left the military because it's hard to have a human heart and carry a gun ready to take life for phony political and elitists' economic purposes, which is all the US fights for anymore.

His politics may be wrong-thinking (Republican), but if his heart's in the right place, he'll come around eventually. You gotta have faith.

Jesus would not own a gun, nor would he advise anyone else to. Neither would he encourage people to vote for someone who wages war on the poor, rather than on poverty itself.
