ht. BREAKING: Legendary actor Jeff Daniels TEARS into Trump over his video showing himself pooping on Americans in powerful takedown!
Speaking with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, Daniels asked “do we really have to treat people like that? You know, the meme that he had where he was flying with the crown and the, you know, spewing excrement all over the people down below.”
“Would Lincoln have done that? Nixon wouldn’t have done it! You know, Reagan wouldn’t have done it. Bush wouldn’t have done it. Either Bush. You know, it’s just, you know, we’re, I just, I think people in the Midwest, where I am, still have this, we value our decency and our civility and, you know, we don’t get taken with whatever goes on on the coast.”
Daniels continues, saying “You know, we got a chip on our shoulder about that. And I think it matters. It may not matter right away when you’re voting, but down the road, if he doesn’t deliver on the economy like he promised he would, then that stuff will start to add up and they’ll get tired of it and they’ll vote for change, which is what they always do.”
“You know, change is always, we’re always changing. I was thinking about, you know, when I was growing up and I started listening to Led Zeppelin and my dad was going, what the hell is that? You know, I mean, it changes, every generation changes things and we’re in a place now where they want to change it back to whatever that was. And I don’t think people are as afraid of change.”
“And we’ll find out in midterms, but I don’t think they’re afraid of change. I think they wanted things to get solved, you know, economically, but I think when it comes to decency and civility and respect for the rule of law, which governs all of us, whether we’re left or right, will matter again.”
We can only hope. Donald Trump and his army of fascist minions have dragged this country through the mud and are working overtime to sever every bond, every trust, every decency we have until only the exercise of violence remains. We must do everything that we can to stop them.
