      He seems to be a pretty mild right winger tbh. Maybe a centrist by US standards. Honestly seems like one of the few libertarians who aren’t just conservatives but with weed.

      He endorsed a D flavored rich prick over the R flavored rich prick in 2020 for what that’s worth.

      Also supports gay marriage because ain’t nobody’s business who wants to get married. Everyone should just do what makes them happy as long as it doesn’t harm anyone else. Etc.

        Remember him arguing with a chair? He’s a stupid Republican who isn’t fighting back against the nazi regime.

          Like I said, mild right winger.

          The standard these days is just faaaaar more to the right unfortunately.

      Yeah, first, this is movies, not politics.

      Second, what the fuck does this even mean? Clint Eastwood doesn’t make “MAGA movies,” whatever those might be, and although he said some things in support of Trump back in 2016, he endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020. Also, again, none of this has any relation to his movies.

          No, he’s really not. He’s “both sides are terrible, no one wants to work anymore, and everyone’s too sensitive” center right curmudgeon.

          2016:

          “There’s been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle.”

          “I think both individuals and both parties backing the individuals have a certain degree of insanity.” Eastwood said in the same interview, “I’m not on either side of the aisle. I think most Americans are going, ‘What the…? Is this all we can do?’ …When there were 17 people on the stage [in the early GOP debates], I thought, well, there are three or four people up there I could see voting for. They seem pretty good. I had a few…and then I thought, what the hell happened?”

          In a red carpet interview with Extra on September 8, 2016, when asked about supposedly supporting Trump, Eastwood replied, “You know, I haven’t supported anybody, really,” and jokingly suggested that Trump and Clinton constituted a modern-day Abbott and Costello, referring to the bumbling comedians of the 1940s and early 1950s.

          Then he endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020. That’s it.

    Let’s hope it doesn’t involve glorifying the raping of women by incel cowboys…

    What a legend. Been watching his movies (as actor and director) my entire life. 95 and still going. Amazing.
