Pratt has to be one of the only human beings left in Hollywood.
They were going to go after him like this regardless of whether he did or did not endorse a candidate, given which candidate he likely would have endorsed.
Agreed. These asshats wanted me to die in concentration camps for my skin color, gender, sexual orientation and political views/affiliation. No fucking quarter.
If Kamala had won, I do believe it would have been disastrous. But it would have been a survivable disaster. I'm really fucking glad it didn't happen, but I could have survived it if it did. These retarded losers can survive another Trump presidency.
Without endorsing either Harris or Donald Trump, Pratt told his fans he is “trying to make sense of the election through the eyes of Americans on both sides”, urging people to unite as “fellow countrymen” regardless of who wins.
For his statement, he mused about the impending result, stating: “It’s OK to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose. Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror.”
So, uhm. Sanity. Nuance. Throwing a bone to both sides. Urging unity.
However, many disagree, mainly due to the fact this election was considered one of the most pivotal in US history, with the actor’s statement being called too “banal”.
It's still an election. If you actually believed in a representational system, it wouldn't matter how pivotal it is; if one side fairly wins, they won. Them's the rules.
One particular critic wrote: “Pratt is trying to make it seem like this is any other election. Like Obama vs Romney, for instance. But it’s actually the most critical election of my lifetime. What we do in this moment, over the next 24 hours, matters very much.”
"This is pivotal! This isn't something standard like Bush v. Gore, this is Obama vs Romney! This is the most important election of our lifetime!" Gimme a break.
Another added: “Seriously, Chris Pratt has a ‘both sides’ view on this election,” with one more – a fan account dedicated to Guardians of the Galaxy – stating on X/Twitter: “While he does not endorse either candidate, and the site is from a former Democrat (now independent) Maria Shriver, it upsets me to see Chris Pratt play “both sides have good ideas” with what is at stake for me.”
It's not a both sides argument at all; it's a one side arguments; AMERICA. Sit down, shut up. You lost. Now let Trump make America great again for all of us, lib.
Yeah, that's my point. Every single time, the Current Guy is totally Literally Hitler...and then they love him later, when the compare him to New Literally Hitler.
Heck, the left loves the Cheneys now, and the only reason they don't fully love W is because he wouldn't endorse the Dems fully. As you said...they can spare me with all that nonsense.
Like once Trump is gone watch the Never Trumpers realize the left hates them. Best example is McCain. The media loved him when he would criticize Bush, but when he ran against Obama he was an evil racist
I just can't wait for the "Wow, this X dude is really like Hitler! Remember the good old days when Republicans ran a sane, reasonable candidate like Donald Trump. Good dude!"
And then when he went against Trump, they loved him again. Especially when he voted against the repeal of Obamacare at the last fucking minute while he was in his death throes.
I once called out a lib about that when she was freaking out that Trump was a literal nazi and Hitler but no one listened. I was like "well you called Bush a nazi, McCain a nazi, and Romney a nazi. The word has lost all meaning."
Got the response "well they were nazis too... but trump is the real nazi!"

Did they forget about 2016? It's the same doom and gloom as then.
I'm still struggling to get why they have such a hardon for Pratt in particular.
Like, he isn't the only right wing guy in Hollywood, nor the only actual church goer. Heck he is a low power, milquetoast guy without any of the pull many of the much more right wing guys have in that sphere. Every reason I can come up with I can think of a few guys who don't receive a fraction of the hate he does while being the same.
It really seems to be a mix of him daring to be in their Capeshit (and tainting it) and him never taking the bait and responding to their constant attacks. Neither in defense of or cowing.
I think it's what u/Mpetey123 said and also that he is non-de-script enough that he can stand in for everything they project onto white, straight, male Christians.
He's fairly relevant, he looks like a protestant sort of normal guy and they hate normalcy and all it represents, so in a way, it's his very milquetoast-ness that acts like a beacon for them to project everything they hate about Christianity on to.
I don't understand the hate either. I guess he is just too close to the icky plebeian class. I know he's made pro Christian statements before, and that bugs a ton of people.
He wore a Don't Tread on Me shirt a few years ago and they were howling about how he's a closet conservative and must be canceled. If he is and he wants to keep his status, staying silent and neutral is the smart thing to do. If he's not conservative and is remaining silent on politics because it's not his station, good on him.

They went after him before this. Uniting with them will do nothing. We need to crush them
Pratt should've just stfu, this both sides need to chill thing appeals to no one

These people are monumentally insufferable.

They called Romney and evil racist so they can spare me that talk now

I have no doubt that will happen. I never thought I’d see the media be nice to Bush but here we are
2028 isn't that far away.

should've replied I wish
It is funny how they try to make an us vs them argument and find out how little any of us like them. They are insufferable nepo baby brats
Did they forget about 2016? It's the same doom and gloom as then.
As a non American, it gets very tiring.
Fuck unity. I want heads on pikes. The establishment cannot go unpunished
Tyrion said it best: "Heads, pikes, walls"
Forget the next coming of Christ, I want the next coming of Vlad.

They tried to get him to fuck kids and he said no?

You know that for years they've wanted to do to him what they did to Vic Mignogna.
Probably never attended a pdiddy or epstein party.
