In reply to the discussion: FUCK YOU SUSAN SARANDON [View all]BainsBane
(57,766 posts)It is perhaps her sadism that I find most repugnant. She is glad to see people "awake" (something she has never been in her life) under Trump, so the election turned out well. Families are being ripped apart, hate crimes are on the rise, and people live in fear of losing basic healthcare and SS. But she enjoys the protests, so that makes it all worth it. The poor and vulnerable are suffering, but Sarandon feels good, so that's all that matters. What kind of person thinks that way? How does that make her any better than the investment bankers who share her tax bracket? And if she cares so much about progressive issues, why does she continue to make many millions as the spokeswoman of a cosmetics company known for horrendous labor exploitation? She promotes the suffering of millions to enrich herself through Loreal, while celebrating increasing misery of the poor and the country's turn to fascism because she enjoys seeing protests.
She proved herself to be embarrassingly uninformed when she was lecturing Dolores Huerta like she was her maid.
She is personally and politically reprehensible.
