There are millions of Americans that desperately need and deserve respect and empathy, and receive none. Adam Sandler isn’t one of them.
He’s an obscenely rich douchebag who voted for Trump despite having all the means to know all the people it would hurt, including children that conveniently aren’t his.
Most prisoners on earth, homeless populations being harassed in every population center by our law enforcement with literally nowhere else to go to die of exposure in our name, but the Sandman doesn’t like to have his picture taken at dinner despite having sought out celebrity and having been handsomely rewarded for it, jfc.
Imagine thinking wealthy republicans need to be harassed even less.
:::I don’t know the guy, and had no idea he was a Trumper. If you had asked me yesterday to guess if Adam Sandler was a douchebag, I probably would have bet he was. I’ve listened to his comedy albums, seen most of his movies, and watched Leo, so I’m not at all surprised to learn that he’s a piece of shit.
But harassing a guy while he’s out eating with his kids is not a political statement. It’s not a deterrent to being a piece of shit, it’s not an argument in favor of progressive policies, it’s just shitty behavior. Like I tell my kids, there’s a difference between respect and decency. If someone is a bad person, you don’t have to respect them. But being a decent person is about you, not them. The way you treat people is a decision you make about who you are. Adam Sandler gets to choose who he wants to be and the effect he has on the world. If you want to fight it, I got your back because the world needs less of him.
But this ain’t that. This is not productive. It’s invasive and cruel, and it’s exponentially worse because there are kids involved. The person who took this photo is also a douchebag.
I’m far more worried about the kids their dad voted to cut yet more public ed funds for ( because the ruins of public ed we’ve already defunded to cut people like Sandler’s taxes are clearly still too bloated for Adam to want to pay into despite Happy Madison enjoying a preliterate workforce that profits from that) and voted to deport the parents of.
You know, the kids without the means to defend themselves from what Adam Sandler voted to do to them.
Americans love coming to the rescue of the small class of people who have far too much to help themselves with, meanwhile, at your nearest tent city where your fellow Americans and more importantly human beings we’ve failed are literally dying of exposure right now… crickets
Yeah how dare those kids be born to someone successful they should’ve been born to the poor people like the rest of us, clearly its their fault and not just the cosmic lottery
Yes cause god forbid he should be able to exist outside his house with his family. Fuck this attitude is self-centered. When people are out doing their thing and not at work being a star, leave em the fuck alone.
This atitude a modern day public entitlement encouraged by tabloids and selfish fans. Its unhealthy for the public and the entertainers. The fact that this attitude is what the public defaults to is the primary reason the “truly wholesome professionals” are gone from entertainment and we’ve been left with folks like Trump. You’ve created an environment that is actively hostile to the average person maintaining their sanity.
Similarly, the obsession that people have with taking pictures and knowing everything about an entertainer and invading their lives is why there is such a ridiculous level of fortune associated with these roles. No one in their right mind would do it otherwise.
This attitude drives the very principal it purports.
But fame does cost privacy and any American could see that coming, if ordinary people can’t be private without being called crazy, why should famous people?
I mean I wouldn’t take a picture of a celeb like this, I think it’s rude. However, it’s a fast food place, it has high foot traffic. The reality is if you put your face on screen for decades, you’ll get recognized.
It’s an interesting culture difference, but I live in Campbell River on Vancouver Island and have lived in several areas of rural Canada but generally when celebs come here and they are out to eat, as humans do, people let them be.
Jesus, he’s just trying to have dinner with his kids.
Yeah that face says it all. Thank god I’m not famous.

He isn’t and it was fact-checked by Snopes, those claims are false. Source: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/
Check your sources.
People downvoting you from lemmy.ml and grad instances I bet, the tankies. Your comment made me question it, and guesd what, it was fact-checked by Snopes and you’re correct. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/
I was surprised how old a rumor that was too.

Did those kids also vote for Trump and choose to be famous
This guy lied, it was fact-checked by Snopes https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/
They’ll be fine. They’re rich kids.

He didn’t, maybe fact-check yourself. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/
Won’t someone think of the nepo babies!

I don’t argue with teenagers. Have a good night.
Nothing stopping him from taking it home
Yes cause god forbid he should be able to exist outside his house with his family. Fuck this attitude is self-centered. When people are out doing their thing and not at work being a star, leave em the fuck alone.
These people rage baiting are probably tankies, it was fact-checked already and they are lying. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/
Privacy is exchanged for fame, and with fame comes fortune. It’s not a difficult concept.

I don’t know, probably culture differences.
They’re lying about him supporting the orange https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/adam-sandler-trump/

Maybe watch a conference of reporters asking Obama about the Snowden leaks and privacy-related questions https://youtube.com/watch?v=tysIV6t54L4
Don’t play privacy advocate if you don’t mean it for literally everyone
