"We love each other": a sentiment Pitt never showed toward Democrats, toward President Obama or Hillary Clinton. Nor did he show it toward the homeless DUer he threatened to beat to a pulp. He certainly didn't show it toward the poor and vulnerable whom he chose to ignore while arguing against Clinton's being elected.
It's called hypocrisy and lies. He stood against all of those values he pretends to hold now.
Trump is a fascist, and Pitt and every other person who refused to stand up to fascism by voting for Clinton last November are the Vichy Collaboration. The Nazis would not now be emboldened if not for them, and Heather Heyer would not be dead.
Not only did he refuse to stand up to fascism through his vote, he fomented its rise by using his position at Truthout to ensure Clinton lost to the fascist.
Actions matter, and we are living through the hell that self-entitled assholes like Pitt imposed on this country. While he sits safe in his Trust Fund world, those who lack his self-entitlement and privilege live in terror because of what he and other narcissists like him did to this country. Every immigrant family torn apart and even injury and death from a hate crime is on um and the rest of the Vichy Collaboration.
And if that's really what you consider thoughtful, you need a better class of reading material.
