Chris Evans Speaks Out Against Trump Supporters

Thanos killed half of humanity with the snap of his fingers. It is disturbing to know that Captain America agrees with this solution, so long as those people are the ones who do not agree with his politics.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Captain America actor Chris Evans talked about his dislike for Trump and Trump supporters. He does not care if saying these things ahead of the release of Avengers: Endgame alienates half the audience. Of course, not caring about how much money the new Avengers film makes is easy to do when he has already made millions off the franchise and Endgame is officially his last appearance as Captain America.

Chris Evans Should Separate Politics From Business

This is not about his politics. Reasonable people can disagree on politics, shake hands then go to the movies together and disagree about whether or not Thor killed Thanos. This is not possible in Mr. Evans life. He is more than a political animal who fancies himself part of the resistance. He is a creature of ideological xenophobia. When it comes to people who have different beliefs then he does he has all the tolerance of a honey badger with irritable bowel syndrome. A good example of this is highlighted in his comments from The Hollywood Reporter. He spoke on what he perceives are the politics of Patriots megastar and NFL GOAT, Tom Brady.

“I really hope he’s not a Trump supporter. I’m just hoping he’s one of those guys that maybe supported him and now regrets it. Maybe he thought it was going to be different — and even that bothers me — but maybe there’s a chance now he just thinks Trump’s an absolute dumb s***, which he is. If he doesn’t, if he’s still on that Trump train, I might have to cut ties. It’s really tough.”

According to People and The Hollywood Reporter Evans would be open to playing Brady in a movie but only if the quarterback passed a Trump hating litmus test. Here is a little news flash for Mr. Evans. Him disrespecting someone like Tom Brady is like a kangaroo rat screaming at snow leopard. In twenty years Evans will be fourteen down in a TV Guide crossword puzzle and Brady will be in the NFL Hall of Fame, but I digress.

Bashing the President is Not a Good Look for Captain America

As I stated earlier, this is not about his politics. It is about his intolerance. He openly hates millions of people that he has never met. He hates them based on nothing more than the fact that they support a duly elected president. However, he does throw Trump voters something of a bone by stating in an Esquire interview that “[N]ot everyone who voted for Trump is going to be some horrible bigot.”

That is a backhanded bone at best because it starts with a base assumption that Trump supporters are bigots. Add to this his comment that people who watch Fox News are a “Goblin Army” and you have a clear picture of how he feels about those who political ideas do not line up with his far left beliefs. You are either with him or against him. Probably not the best position for someone who made most of their fortune playing a character name Captain America.

With all that said, I am going to see Avengers: Endgame. I am going to see it with a longtime friend who sits on the opposite side of the political divide than myself. We will debate over politics and, of course, go over the topic of whether or not Thor really did kill Thanos. I plan to enjoy Chris Evans playing the role of Captain America. In terms of that particular part, he is excellent. He is a good actor. He is also a bad person. That is not my problem. If the political xenophobia of someone like him affects my life, then I have given this hate-filled bigot way too much power.

I reached out to Marvel for comment about Chris Evans’ statements. While they did respond to me they would not address the issue.
