It's always entertaining when famous actors or singers think that we -- normal people -- are curious to know their political views. I mean, we all know that members of Hollywood are generally radically liberal. If they take a political position, it's going to be in favor of abortion, against "climate change," or -- of course -- passionately anti-Trump.
Case in point, this op-ed written by actor Robert Redford for NBC News.
"We’re up against a crisis I never thought I’d see in my lifetime." Namely: "A dictator-like attack by President Donald Trump on everything this country stands for. As last week’s impeachment hearings made clear, our shared tolerance

Poor Robert, all he ever had going for him was his looks, and he does not even have that anymore.

Redford lives in a self-reinforcing bubble, like all his Hollywood friends. Bobby, isn't it ironic that you've benefitted so much from this country, when all you've done is play pretend in front of cameras in pictures that others have bankrolled? Oh, and you run the Sundance film festivals. You certainly rub elbows with the common folk there! Elitist idiot.

As the OP noted, Mr. Redford's whine is totally lacking in specifics.

#1, as a woman, I never saw the appeal - he has major acne scarring. All he really had going for him was blond hair and blue eyes. Why isn’t he being panned as a straight white male?
I’ve been receiving his Sundance catalog in the mail for decades. I’ve never purchased a single item, yet they keep arriving in my mail box. The trees! The trees! Aren’t his catalogs contributing to destroying the planet?

He's talking to people (like him) who wear boots from Bloomingbergs and think they've been to a Rattlesnake Roundup.

Redford looks like an ancient mummy from the 3rd dynasty who escaped from one of those glass coffins on display in the Egyptian wing of a museum and immediately headed for a hair salon and got a very bad hair dye job. Watching this dwarf's acting on the big screen has been the same as watching paint dry. Another one of these very wealthy Hollywood hypocrites who got theirs and now want to take what we have.
Fortunately his shelf life on this planet is about to expire.

Evidently, the very notion of "what America stands for" can only be defined by ultra-liberal socialists who DO NOT TOLERATE the dissenting views of other AMERICANS...
Redford id free to express his views, but so is everyone else under the 1st Amendment--
Those who want to TAKE AWAY that right in favor of their own perceptions BY THE FORCE OF GOVERNMENT are UN-AMERICAN

I think all those days in the sun filming has finally had an effect on fair skinned Redford. His brain has been fried.

Words from a one dimensional actor. If you've seen Redford in one movie then you've seen him act the same in all. Acting with Barbara Streisand in The Way We Were her dumbness political soundings must have rubbed off on him or maybe not. Just more garbage from a Hollywood crapweasel who cares.

Where does he get this 'dictator' stuff? Trump has had to fight to get anything he wants from Congress. If he were really a dictator or Hitler incarnate as some call him, he would already have built a 100 ft wall on our southern border, deported every illegal, deported all Muslims legal or not and had a large number of reporters and enemies executed. Wait, that sounds pretty good.

What in the hell is this retarded jerk talking about?
None of his rabid assertions have the slightest basis in fact. The "impeachment " was a total sham, a hoax that could only have fooled a fool.
Redford was never the sharpest pencil in the box, clearly hasn't gotten any brighter as the years have passed.

I thought Ovomit was the worst president in the history of this great nation!!! I never thought any president could be worse than Jimmy Carter, but Ovomit quickly proved me wrong!!!
But all that said, I never lost a second of sleep over Ovomit. His incompetence was not going to cause me to loose my sanity!!!
Sadly, so many of these brain dead lie-berals have let their president, Donald Trump, live rent-free in their heads 24/7/365 since he was elected!!! It's hard to keep your sanity when you let anyone do that!!!!

Bobby is just another loser. In his world, this country should only stand for perverts, criminals of all stripes, a Soviet style justice system, demonrat greed and corruption.
Hey Bobby, how about donating all that land you own to a commune for your Jim Jones mentality followers and support them all? Oh wait, you'd have to use your own money instead of everyone else's.

Hollyweird, which has become far less entertaining than it used to be, has nothing to offer this Country. They live in the land of fantasy and ego and drugs and it has really taken a toll on them. Maybe after Trump wins in a 2020 landslide they will all move to Canada and they can continue their whine from far away.

America stands for God, freedom, independence, free speech and an armed citizenry. Which one of those did Trump take away and which of the democrat candidates going back to 1992 have done that?

That would have been Obama with the dictator like moves Sparky. Remember how he said he had a pencil and a phone. He snuck in so many debilitating EO's behind the scenes that we are still dealing with the damage they are doing. It isn't Trump who spied on Americans, it was Obama Robbie. It wasn't Trump who kept selling out America, that too was Obama. We know what you stand for. You prefer to value a tree on the edge of your property that is actually a serious traffic hazard and has killed people. How is that American again? At least Paul Newman formed his own company and found out how real life and business works. Redford defines the term dumb blond joke.

A third-rate actor and nowheresville intellect. Anyone who takes him seriously should consult with Roger Rabbit for his investment strategies. Writers: remember, this is the clown that wouldn't return William Goldman's calls after Goldman made him whatever he is today.

Another meat puppet bleating away. He wouldn't have looked the way he did when young without make up artists and lighting specialists and costume designers. He would have been tongue tied without script writers, he wouldn't have known where or how to stand without directors. He wouldn't have made one thin dime without movie goers. In summation he is a stupid azz. Nobody cares what ya think Bob. Urge to criticize someone go look in a mirror, there's a lot to work with there you'll be busy for a LONG time. Dry up and blow away why don't Ya? You breathe to serve and entertain, other than that you are a NOBODY!

Redford, like other liberals, lives in his own head, with a loose association at best with reality, the reality the rest of us live in. It is no accident that so many in show business are this way. They earn their money by pretending to be someone else, inhabiting make-believe worlds. And when anything occurs (like nationalism or Trump or blexit) that doesn't comport with their made-up worlds, they lash out, opposing it with made-up accusations and made-up labels to do battle with their made-up villain.
Earth to Redford: wake up and look around, and I don't mean on your ranch. Take a drive through the small towns and small cities in the midwest, mile after mile, town after town, state after state, where the people live who have supported you financially your entire life. Drive past the abandoned factories and empty, grass covered blocks where nice little houses once were, past the closed stores and derelict buildings. Then come back, and we'll talk.

I never liked Redford or his acting. I put him in the same pot with Hanoi Jane , Fat Boy Moore, Bawbwa Streisand, and Sean Penn and others.

He loved Obama and is still mad Pantsuit Momma lost. He has a crush on AOC and Bernie is his favorite candidate. I used to like him a lot. Now I don’t. When movie stars, and musicians come out and show their political colors they blow off half their fan base. It’s best to stay neutral.
