“Trump is soft on gays, but I’ll be hard, and here’s some muscly dudes and Achilles to prove it.”

How dare you, in the Troy movie they were cousins. COUSINS.

For the last time, cousins.

He's one of those characters that weird hyper-macho shitheads idealize, right? Like the same dudes who unironically love Walter White? I need more of these actors and writers to come out and openly denounce these clowns. Jon Bernthal did it too! (Like, for copyright reasons, but also just ideologically.)

lol I loved Michael Imperioli saying bigots can't watch The Sopranos anymore. Because as much as I enjoyed that show, I feel like it would break a bigot's heart to find out everyone involved was a filthy liberal

I love Michael so much. He’s so talented and deserves a better career. I’m glad White Lotus is at least giving him exposure again.

Why, do you think that'll get them to change their minds?

This fucking man. It’s bad enough he’s ruining Florida and we have to suffer through it. No need to inflict that on the entire country.

It's not an official campaign video, DeSantis' team just retweeted a video someone else made.

He's still trash though, and it's fun watching his presidential dreams crash and burn.

I really hope they do more than post on social media about this.
It does nothing at all to post this and then sit down.

While some people will be happy to see the post, not a single right-wing person/deSatan fan will give a damn that they denounced the usage of the clip. More needs to be done, words mean nothing. Even if every one of these actors/companies said "I don't like this, this isn't how it should be used" it still does nothing unless they take real legal action to try and stop it from happening in the first place.
