Matthew McConaughey Rips The ‘Far Left’ For Being Condescending, Patronizing And Arrogant

Matthew McConaughey recently had some very refreshing thoughts about politics in America.

McConaughey sat down for an awesome interview with Russell Brand following the release of “Greenlights,” and it sounds like he’s not a fan of the elitist attitude found within his own industry.

“There are a lot on that illiberal left that absolutely condescend, patronize and are arrogant towards the other 50%,” McConaughey explained. He added that people in Hollywood “were in denial” about President Donald Trump winning the 2016 election.

Well, guess he won't be getting the nod to play Kunta Kinte in the remake of Roots then. (Still not buying a Lincoln.)

Isn’t he rumored to want to run for office in Louisiana, or somewhere in the south? Sounds like he is getting in the politican mode.

Saw that a few days ago. Someone else had skewered the Left
just prior to him giving his comments. It’s still interesting
that he voiced these thoughts.

I’ve never fully appreciated him, although I have enjoyed
some of his work.

He keeps this up, and I may have to re-evaluate.

The problem with actors is that you never know when they are acting or ummm.. playing it straight. Now that the woke stuff is going broke, this is the next phase of getting public buy in.

He’ll dupe enough people to get into public office. Or get the “machine” behind him.

I always thought of him as kind of a whack job whose biggest talent was having lots of wimmen think he's hot. I'll chalk these comments up to stopped clock syndrome unless/until he establishes a little more of a consistent track record.

Isn’t he from Texas, and pro-gun — leans conservative?

Not quite, he’s equating behavior on the right with behavior on the left and he doesn’t seem to have a problem with the evidence of voter fraud.

“...ondescending, Patronizing And Arrogant...”

Only those three? Oh well, all are symptions of not being that bright. Comes from majoring in the marshmallow, not very demanding, and most certainly not right side of the Bell curve subjects whilst in university.

Thankfully, our creative subjects usually eliminate left-leaning lawyers, politicians, and especially, journalism types.

I think they are in denial about Donald Trump winning the 2020 election too.

Matthew McConaughey is actually a serious deep thinker person, quite unlike the characters he plays. I was watching one of his interviews on youtube. Or at least that’s how he came across.

Hollywood’s A-listers have a message for anyone concerned about the next four years underneath President Trump. A bevy of stars gathered to sing a version of Gloria Gaynor’s single “I Will Survive,” reimagining the 1979 disco hit as an anti-Trump anthem of sort.

Emma Stone, Michelle Williams, Matthew McConaughey, Natalie Portman, Taraji P. Henson, Amy Adams, Chris Pine, Andrew Garfield and more participated in the video.

We’ve long had the more beautiful women, is our side starting to get the more handsome men, too?

That has been my perception too over the years.

Whatever I said, I would have worded it to have exactly the
same meaning.

Too much schmaltz for me when it came to the swooning
by women...

So he’s smartened up in the last three years? Or just become more brave? Either way, great.
