Looks like Marty McFly is going to have to take the old DeLorean for a spin in order to go back and time and prevent Back to the Future star Lea Thompson — otherwise known as Marty’s smoking hot mom, Lorraine — from saying something stupid on X concerning the upcoming election. Thompson responded to a post published on the social media site, that said, “White women favor Trump over Kamala Harry by five points.”
Thompson wrote in in her reply, “Please please white women. Don’t do this again. Remember our grandmothers couldn’t vote. We couldn’t own land. Get a credit card. Birth control. We have already lost rights. It will not stop. #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights.”
She then expressed her unhappiness with fellow actor Dennis Quaid after he appeared at a Trump campaign event that was held in Coachella, California over the weekend. Thompson was once engaged to Quaid for three years before the couple broke up.
via Breitbart:
Thompson tweeted, “I was engaged to him” alongside a thinking emoji and the hashtags “#VoteBlueToStopTheStupid” Thompson and Quaid began dating in 1982 after they met as actors on the set of “Jaws 3-D.” They were engaged from 1984 until 1987, the Wrap notes.
Quaid had earlier called on America to “pick a side” in November and questioned whether the United States was “going to be a nation of law and order or wide open borders,” as Breitbart News reports. During Donald Trump’s rally, Quaid spoke about how “the issues of the 1980” presidential election between former President Ronald Reagan and former President Jimmy Carter are “similar to what they are today.”
Actors in Hollywood are absolutely allowed to hold whatever opinions they want to hold. They also have freedom of speech to share their convictions with their audience. Conservatives in the creative arts are also free to do the same thing. However, there will always be consequences for sharing your thoughts, your heart, and your beliefs. Those consequences should never come from the government. Our Constitution makes that clear.
As a culture, we also should not want to silence people for having a different worldview than our own. What we think and believe should be allowed to duke it out on the battlefield of ideas. Otherwise, how can we know the truth? That being said, it’s critical for the elite leftists in the entertainment industry to get one thing straight. We, the viewing audience, may very well choose not to watch or read the work they put out if we find their belief system in conflict with our own. And that doesn’t make us “haters.”
It makes us consistent.
