Advocacy Edit
Cromwell’s experiences of the Civil Rights Movement while on a theatre tour through several Deep South states in 1964 had a profound impact on him. The courage of local campaigners and visiting activists – Cromwell had played high school football with murdered civil rights worker, Mickey Schwerner – convinced him to become an activist. He subsequently became involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement,[15] and by the late 1960s, Cromwell was a member of the Committee to Defend the Panthers, a group organized to defend 13 members of the Black Panther Party who had been imprisoned in New York on charges of conspiracy. All 13 were eventually released. In a 2004 interview with CNN, Cromwell praised the Panthers.[16] He supported the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[17]

Cromwell has long been an advocate of progressive causes, particularly regarding animal rights. He became a vegetarian in 1974 after seeing a stockyard in Texas and experiencing the “smell, terror and anxiety”.[18] He became vegan while playing the character of Farmer Hoggett in the 1995 film Babe.[19] He frequently speaks out on issues regarding animal cruelty for PETA, largely on the treatment of pigs.[20] In 2017, he was arrested during a PETA protest against SeaWorld’s treatment of orca whales, at which he spoke about marine mammal’s suffering and premature deaths.[21]

In the book Money Men, author Jeffrey Birnbaum describes how John McCain went out of his way to meet Cromwell as he advocated on Capitol Hill for funding of Native American arts education.[22]

Cromwell served as the narrator of the short film Farm to Fridge, a documentary produced by Mercy for Animals.[23]

In an October 2008 interview, Cromwell strongly attacked the Republican Party and the George W. Bush administration, saying that their foreign policy would “either destroy us or the entire planet”.[9]

In February 2013, Cromwell was arrested for interrupting a University of Wisconsin Board of Regents meeting while showing a graphic photo of a cat to protest about alleged mistreatment of animals on campus.[24][25] The incident, which garnered widespread press coverage, was resolved on March 25, 2013, when an attorney representing Cromwell entered no-contest pleas to the non-criminal offense and agreed to pay $100 forfeitures and court costs of $263.50.[26] In December 2015, he was removed from an event in New York for heckling an energy company receiving an award.[27]

On December 18, 2015, Cromwell and five other people were arrested while protesting against the construction of a power station in Wawayanda, New York, near his home in Warwick, New York.[28] Cromwell and fellow Star Trek actor J. G. Hertzler were among the 19 people arrested in Watkins Glen, New York on June 6, 2016, for a protest against underground gas storage in salt caverns near Seneca Lake.[29] On June 6, 2017, he was escorted out of a Democratic Party fundraiser (which New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi attended) after disrupting the event by protesting about the power station.[30] He and his fellow protesters, called the “Wawayanda Six” were convicted of disorderly conduct and obstruction of traffic. They were fined $375, due June 29, 2017 and sentenced to 16 hours of community service.[31][32][33] After refusing to pay the fine, he was sentenced to a week in jail, scheduled to go on July 14.[34] However, they were released 3 days later on July 17.[35] Cromwell was again arrested, this time for trespassing after taking part in a protest along with PETA at Seaworld on July 24.[36

Douchebags like this forget that there are millions of people that support Trump and his agenda so when you say that you ‘must stop Trump’ you are spitting in our face.

These people don't know who they're antagonizing. They're going against preppers, survivalists, and militia members who have been training for this since the days of Clinton. Not to mention the military and police aren't going to overwhelmingly back their revolution like they think. This isn't some movie on Netflix. Right wing millennials are even more tired of this, some of them seem to relish the thought of crushing an attempted revolution. These are the kind of jokes they make among themselves. They need to think long and hard before they let this genie out of the bottle.

I tend to agree but in the opposite direction. If Deep State manages to get rid of Trump and that bitch is still walking around free, then RWII is upon us.

I have yet to hear a lucid argument for giving *extended* consideration to the political arguments coming from popular culture (movies, media, sports, music etc.) Not saying that they should be silenced but their oversampling comes not from intelligence but from ready access to the media.

When you consider that there is an obvious and historical predilection of innate ‘free spirits’ and radicals to the performing arts, this can be considered pro forma and discounted as such. What is bad is this oversampling as a societal indicator. Our media-driven pop culture is a different thing than that found in previous generations. When you add current academia to this pot, it is a unpalatable swill that results!

Blood in the streets? It will not go well for the #Resistance or the never-Trumpers.

Donald J. Trump is President of the United States of America, and dang, it is good to be King.

Now, this reign is always subject to the vicissitudes of elections, and is now term-limited anyway. But even the most rabid of victims of TDS are not likely to come up with a means to dislodge Trump before January 20, 2025.

25th Amendment? Hah. Implementation is a pretty slender reed to lean upon, as President Trump shows NO signs of potential or impending disabilities of any kind. Granted, nobody is granted the certainty of tomorrow, but as God may will it it, the prospects for continuing in office are very good indeed.

Impeachment? for what? And even if impeachment gets voted out of the House, that still means that removal from office is far from even possible, given the probable makeup of the Senate, as the threshold is pretty high there. It takes 2/3 of the Senate present, and an “abstain” vote counts as “no” on impeachment.
