Many like myself did not know this as a kid in the 80s-90s. Some of the movies he made like "sidekicks" left a positive impression at that age.

Save it for reddit

GP said "these were acting roles." They were talking about the characters, not the actors behind them.

A kind person with humility would never say this.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become a Faceboot psychosis villain. It's basically the political version of "Why is everything so cold?"

I think you forget that Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act and put in the policy of “Don’t ask don’t tell” and Obama supported it originally.

Of course they both had a change of heart- was it true change or they saw the direction of the political winds? Who knows?

I don’t know Chuck Norris’s views on LGBT. But if he was a self proclaimed “born again Christian” and a rabid Trump supporter, I can only guess. But I no more expect people who were insulted by what he said (which I personally don’t know) to give him more grace or reverence than I do is a Black man who couldn’t give two shits about a dead racist podcaster.

Other people no more need to “contextualize” homophobia than I feel a need to “contextualize” the racism of a dead podcaster.

You say openly maga like half the country didn't vote for Trump, myself included.

Like others have said, take this level of conversation back to reddit.

You say "openly MAGA" as if it were a crime or something to be ashamed of. Also, consider that only about 40% of Americans support trans youth care, for example [1]. So, a majority of people in your country hold the same opinion he had.

I guess that makes him a good role model, at least for the majority.

Imagine basing your entire opinion on a man about how they feel about that other man.

Incomprehensible levels of based.
