Firstly, sorry, but that "sigh" is not justified.
Your intiial comment was nonsense, it doesn't matter how much you reason othwerwise. You said "He doesn't publicly support the GOP", but ANYONE following those figures and wearing those slogans supports them publically.
This is not being pedentic, it is an important thing to acknowledge.
If you can't see how some of your responses to me, espeically that "ok", didn't come across as dismissive then I don't know what to say about that, I'll leave that point there. This is a public forum though, and my responses have been perfectly fair.
Ok. I understand your position, I will not be responding to you further.
Just don't go around saying "He doesn't publicly support the GOP" when he's following the people he does and wearing the slogans he is, and we won't need to have this conversation at all.
It is incredibly frustrating seeing people say that.
2 weeks ago:
"God is so good".
Nothing againt his religiousness in theroy, but him trying to say he isn't is absurd lol.
I'm not a religious person.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finishing building my 20-foot cross.

A dude who constantly posts Christian stuff, talks about the Bible, wears don't tread on me shirts, and followed all of the worst of the worst in Hitler youth recruiters on social media, and people still like "come on guys, there isn't a video of him specifically saying he's a republican.". This is some next level gas-lighting. If there was a picture of him in a Trump hat mother fuckers would be like "relax people, there are other people in the world besides Donald Trump with that last name, we don't know where he got that hat and people assuming he supports Republicans are being hysterical"
Ben Shapiro, PragerU, Turning Point, Candace Owens etc. Didn't follow any other political accounts BTW.
Yep, he exclusively followed some of the worst right wing people and zero left or centre leaning people and when people called him out on it he quickly deleted them.
He could come out and say he's proudly pro-life and people would be like "you're misconstruing what he is saying, he meant he supports the LIFE of the pro-choice movement and wants it to live on. Plenty of regular guys who support women say stuff like this all the time, relax."
After reading what he said, I feel like some people are perhaps misinterpreting what he said (admittedly in a kinda clumsy way). He very obviously is religious by most peoples definition of the word. As evident from his own comments and social media. But he's trying to make a distinction between himself and his definition of a religious person.
That being said, i'm not sure how useful a distinction it is since I don't think any person would describe themselves as religious using his definition. It seems to me he is trying to draw a line between himself and the more blind evangelical types he is often thought of as being.

A video would come out of him at the capitol riot and people would say he was just there signing autographs or some shit and telling us we have big "bitch eating crackers" mentality over him
LMAO
He could get appointed to Trump's next cabinet and people would be like "there have been plenty of non-republican members of the cabinet over the years, relax, just because he is on Trump's cabinet doesn't mean he supports the GOP."
He's not a very good liar.
Didn't he start a Parler account like right before it went down in flames because of the Capitol riot?
Seems like he has dropped Prager and TP (though they were there), but still has the other ones, plus Tucker Carlson, a bunch of Republican politicians, etc. And yeah, no progressives or Democrats (other than those in Hollywood).
Oh and he follows Tulsi, which really just helps paint the complete picture.
My question is why does it matter to me if he's a nice guy in private? Why should we listen to his celebrity friends saying he's not an asshole when, you know, they're his (totally not biased I'm sure...) friends? What he does in private or how he treats his friends doesn't matter at all to me, or any of his fans. What DOES matter is the support (or lack of) he shows various causes, who he endorses, who he follows and what he posts on social media etc. And his complete radio silence about his right wing nutjob of a brother already says enough. It's pretty easy for a celebrity to at least publically distance themselves from a "problematic" family member, yet he doesn't. Instead of doing this whole "I'm not religious" thing he could have just made a bland "I support human rights"-esque statement and most people would stop giving a shit.
Like, there are a TON of Hollywood conservatives that keep their mouths shut to appear neutral and their actual political views hidden from the public. Chris Pratt fucked up by being so public with his christianity in combination with his twitter follows and lack of stance on literally any political issue for the last few years.
Also idk why he is trying to push the CP nickname, it already has several meanings, none of them appropriate as a nickname.

Well, I guess technically, he follows people who are to the right of even the GOP on average, so he's even worse than that.
I'm glad that people are pointing out the "I'm not religious, but in a relationship with God" crap.
Man I remember spewing that nonsense when I was a part of that "born again Christian" thing.

Lol you have a point, but then is the modern GOP really rhag much different? Feels to me like those far-right talking points have become brazen calling cards for the GOP for a while now.
Yeh, he's not THAT religious.
Unfortunately shit like this has become so ingrained in normal English vocabulary that people would still argue that this isn't exactly religious lol
Okay so is this good enough for everyone. Are we all satisfied with the evidence now
I love how a Twitter user with 1k followers tweets to shit on Chris Pratt and it gets 55k likes. Fuck you Crispy Ratt.
The only reason this seems to get so much attention isn't so much the religious aspect, it's just how painfully obvious of a PR campaign this is to change up his profile. Given the timing of what's going on with the country, just like, come on my guy. Read the room.
Really he should have just said nothing. He's starring in two of the biggest movies this summer, people in the industry like him and he gets work constantly, and the overwhelming majority of moviegoers didn't know or care about him maybe being a Christian Republican. Like I'm probably more aware of this stuff than 80% of moviegoers and I had no idea until this thread his brother is a 3%er, but the news cycle draws attention to that stuff. Twitter posters making dunks really hurt his feelings I guess.
Nice try cunt. Following the likes of PagerU and Ben Shapiro says plenty about you. No need to smokescreen you bitch.
Apparently also followed Tucker Carlson. LOL

You expect a privileged straight white conservative Christian man to be that self-aware???

"How can this other powerful cis white male who is nice to me possibly be problematic??" Says powerful cis white male #127,452,281
Maybe that guy served Chris Pines? A lot of people seem to make that mistake.
But seriously, Pratt seems to wear different faces for different people. I think it's abundantly clear which face is the real one.
This actually does describe a fair number of people here, weirdly.

Whilst character recommendations can be a good thing to judge a person, it can also be completely meaningless or in fact counterproductive.
Anyone who has ever dealt with horrible people in their family or people close around them have probably seen others swear that they are a nice. It's a cliche at this point but fucking serial killers had people saying how shocked they are because they were so nice.
I also have lost a lot of respect for some of the MCU lot as a group of them will quickly jump to defend Pratt but remain silent when Larson is getting bombarded with misogynistic bullshit.
Also I just saw Pratt also follows The Babylon Bee, make of that what you will.
Also fuck James Gunn.
Also fuck James Gunn.
Anyone who follows the Bee is a fucking idiot, let alone a right wing POS.
The bee only has 2 main forms of content: extremely bad jokes meant to be satire but aren't and transphobia.
