"The Big Short" director Adam McKay went on a tear against the Democratic Party in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's victory Tuesday, declaring he's ditching the party for good.
"It is time to abandon the Dem Party," McKay wrote on X. "I’m registering Green Party or Working Families. But am open to ideas."
The director ripped the Democratic Party for what he deemed a series of missteps leading up to Election Day, including how they handled President Biden bowing out of the race to make way for Vice President Kamala Harris on the ticket.
"Who would have guessed lying about Biden’s cognitive health for 2 yrs, refusing to do an open convention for a new nominee, never mentioning public healthcare & embracing fracking, the Cheneys & a yr long slaughter of children in Gaza wouldn’t be a winning strategy?" he said.
"Anyone with half a brain?" he continued. "But I thought liberals’ whole thing is being smart? It’s not? They actually just blindly cheer the parade of rickety optics wrapped up in New York Times fonts that is the modern Dem Party?"
McKay has in recent years championed progressive causes and has donated millions of dollars to fight climate change. His activism has also bled into his work. His movie "Don't Look Up," for instance, served as a critique of a lack of action when it comes to protecting the environment. The 2021 satire film centered on two scientists who try in vain to warn the world about a planet-destroying comet.
Climate change is "extremely alarming, extremely frightening, and quickly becoming the only thing I’m thinking about on a daily basis, even as I’m writing scripts and directing or producing," McKay said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Nuff said.....
All the right people are starting to find themselves politically homeless, Never-Trumper-RINOs and hard-leftists.
“They actually just blindly cheer”
Yes, yes they do.
I don’t know why this guy doesn’t do like I did, and switch to unaffiliated.
(In Cali, “independent” is actually a party).
There is no reason to belong to a party especially since we have open primaries.
That’s when I stopped reading and went to the comments.
“The Big Short” is an excellent movie. I have watched it about six times and encouraged my students in Finance 101 to watch it.
“Scew yu guys Ahm going hum!”
Seeing the dems supporters drop away is icing on the cake.
>> Adam sounds important. Never heard of him.
Me neither.
These “Big Shorts” of his, are they boxer or brief? That’s all I want to know.
Well...movie directors ARE the final arbiters of time, space, and truth. Just another one issue self important “director,”...ooooh, forgive me if I don’t bow down.
The climate change paranoids, must feel climate claustrophobia...trapped on a dying , suffocating,planet. Plus the irony of it all...Elon Musk is the only one who can get them off the planet.
Mental illness is endemic in the Left. So sad.

I pray this catches on! Split the DemonRat vote into three roughly equal blocs. USA is not Yurp; it won’t work out so well for them here. I wonder how long it’ll take before they figure that out?
Article:
“donated millions of dollars to fight climate change”
He would have believed in the clear and present danger of witches in the old days...totally brain dead.
Just rename it the Fascist Party, because that’s what it’s actually become.
“I’m registering Green Party or Working Families. But am open to ideas.”
I’ve got an idea but you guys will never see me again if I print it.
Who is this clown? ...... Forget it. Don’t bother/ I don’t want to know.
“But I thought liberals’ whole thing is being smart?”
you thought wrong ...
Who really gives a good F$#k what you say?
He is a symptom of a deep problem in the D party. They cannot win with trans rights, reparations, open borders, no free speech, electric car mandates, no fossil fuels or nuclear energy, Hamas terror support, and gestapo prosecution of political opponents etc.
But about half of the party is hard left on those issues. So if a D pretends to be moderate, they lose half the party. If a D won’t say what they will do (Kamala), they lose a lot of the middle. And if a D says what they really believe, landslide. About the best they can do is a wink wink moderate. Talk moderate but, wink wink, you lefties know what I really believe.
While that is happening, the R’s have moved hard to the middle. I call Trump a radical moderate.

Today Left and Right are subservient to the real split, Nationalist vs Globalist.
For example, I would classify someone like RFK Jr as a Left-Wing Nationalist, and Liz Cheney as a Right-Wing Globalist.
