Link for background.

The first paragraph in the article also talks about his super problematic religious views/politics.

I personally do not find him to be a gentleman.

Man. That’s just what you say after a kid is born. I get it can come off insensitive, but there is a chance he didn’t realize.

I get people hate him for political beliefs, as that is where we are as a country. Which leads to people always believe in malice.

However, I try to not assume malice when ignorance could easily be the answer in most situations. Believing malice is a much worse way to live.

And I’m Liberal. Very few politicians I respect. Haven’t enjoyed many elections lately. But I can look beyond general beliefs. If he was undying support for a person like Trump, ok then I’m probably out. But just having Conservative beliefs different than mine? Let’s all be adults.

With that said, I can also separate personal life from being an actor. Obviously Scientology is disgusting. But man do I dig some Tom Cruise movies.

You should not be getting downvoted for having an emotionally mature take like this.

This is our country. Everybody pinned against each other. It’s sad.

It is. It shouldn’t be “us versus them” when we’re all supposed to be playing on the same team.

“Us vs them” should be different “them”
