That shirt isnt necessarily a GOP shirt but it does make me question his already seemingly shitty views based on the church he goes to

I think he's just churchy and right leaning

That's usually a libertarian symbol ... which just means clueless conservative tbf

Yes, this gets regularly brought up in "celebrities who need to be cancelled" threads. There are rumors that he holds some really far-right extreme views but is smart enough to shut up about them in public. He's a massive douche.

He's basically the Jon Voight of the MCU.

Dude goes to a really shitty church too.

Yep, he's a Christian Conservative who puts his foot in his mouth every once in a while.

He is part of a really sketchy church as well. It's not a surprise.

Don't idolize artists/entertainers.

Isn't The Rock a Republican too though?

I mean yeah, it for sure means you can mean well and also willfully ignore a lot of shitty things. But that's the issue with the two party system as I'm still learning. There's more to politics than simply Dem or Rep. Don't know much about Pratt but he says some suspect shit and that church sounds like bad new. Whatever makes him happy, I guess.

Chris Pratt is trash and this isn't new news. I'm pretty sure this was a major point of contention in his marriage with Anna Faris.

Did nobody see that video of him and his brothers lugging a huge cross on their backs up a big ass hill, just to plant it? The second I saw that video, I nopped the hell out.

His church is un-defendable so it doesn't really matter what other views he holds when he continues to go and give money and attention to a super anti lgbt conglomerate church even after multiple exposés.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he became a Born-Again Christian and has developed a lot of shitty views over the last handful of years.

There were actually some questioning if he helped James Gunn get fired simply because the two are polar opposites when it comes to social views. That didn't seem to end up being the case considering Gunn was brought back, but his views have been well known for awhile now.

Imagine wearing a shirt with an American flag on it with all the shit going on in this country. Sorry, but only one sort of person is doing that right now, and I really want to give Pratt the benefit of the doubt.

I've yet to meet someone who sports the snake that I can have a civil and open conversation with, but hey, maybe Chris Pratt is that guy?

As long as he keeps it to himself and shuts up about it, I've no problem with him.

The dont tread on me symbol isnt a GOP thing right?

It's not, though some of them definitely use it. I know quite a few people in Texas who fly that flag or generally approve of its sentiment who are definitely solidly liberal. That said, I definitely wouldn't want to wear that shirt due to the attachment it's getting with racist groups. Here's a good article on it: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-shifting-symbolism-of-the-gadsden-flag
