There are millions of Americans that desperately need and deserve respect and empathy, and receive none. Adam Sandler isn’t one of them.

He’s an obscenely rich douchebag who voted for Trump despite having all the means to know all the people it would hurt, including children that conveniently aren’t his.

Most prisoners on earth, homeless populations being harassed in every population center by our law enforcement with literally nowhere else to go to die of exposure in our name, but the Sandman doesn’t like to have his picture taken at dinner despite having sought out celebrity and having been handsomely rewarded for it, jfc.

Imagine thinking wealthy republicans need to be harassed even less.

Title

:::I don’t know the guy, and had no idea he was a Trumper. If you had asked me yesterday to guess if Adam Sandler was a douchebag, I probably would have bet he was. I’ve listened to his comedy albums, seen most of his movies, and watched Leo, so I’m not at all surprised to learn that he’s a piece of shit.

But harassing a guy while he’s out eating with his kids is not a political statement. It’s not a deterrent to being a piece of shit, it’s not an argument in favor of progressive policies, it’s just shitty behavior. Like I tell my kids, there’s a difference between respect and decency. If someone is a bad person, you don’t have to respect them. But being a decent person is about you, not them. The way you treat people is a decision you make about who you are. Adam Sandler gets to choose who he wants to be and the effect he has on the world. If you want to fight it, I got your back because the world needs less of him.

But this ain’t that. This is not productive. It’s invasive and cruel, and it’s exponentially worse because there are kids involved. The person who took this photo is also a douchebag.

They’ll be fine. They’re rich kids.

I’m far more worried about the kids their dad voted to cut yet more public ed funds for ( because the ruins of public ed we’ve already defunded to cut people like Sandler’s taxes are clearly still too bloated for Adam to want to pay into despite Happy Madison enjoying a preliterate workforce that profits from that) and voted to deport the parents of.

You know, the kids without the means to defend themselves from what Adam Sandler voted to do to them.

Americans love coming to the rescue of the small class of people who have far too much to help themselves with, meanwhile, at your nearest tent city… crickets

People downvoting you from lemmy.ml and grad instances I bet, the tankies. Your comment made me question it, and guesd what, it was fact-checked by Snopes and you’re correct. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/

This blaming the victims of propaganda will cause civil war. Sandler might be a rich douche bag, but that doesn’t make him smarter than your grandparents. A lot of these people have just been fooled.
