Susan Sarandon should maybe probably stay off Twitter today
Longtime LGBTQ ally/Bernie Bro Susan Sarandon has been having a tough day on Twitter and it’s all because of the 2016 presidential election.Quick recap: While campaigning for Bernie Sanders, Sarandon, who is worth an estimated $60 million, went on MSNBC to say she wasn’t sure if she could ever bring herself to vote for Hillary Clinton, suggesting she might cast her ballot for Donald Trump instead.“You know, some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately,” she said. “If he gets in, then things will really explode.”Well, things certainly exploded.
Unfortunately, not in the way Sarandon hoped they might. The revolution didn’t come. Instead, the United States ended up with the most hateful, most divisive, most anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-just-about-everything administration in modern history.Related: If Roe vs Wade is overturned, LGBTQ rights could be nextThe country also ended up with not one, not two, but three right-wing Supreme Court Justices with extremely conservative leanings.
And now an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito had leaked which shows the court has voted to strike down Roe v Wade.Obviously, this isn’t Sarandon’s fault.
But people are pissed at her anyway, saying she used her platform to poison people’s minds in 2016 and help pave the way for Donald Trump’s presidency.
