Not really sure what he's trying to say, exactly.

I don't know about the current crop of players, but it's generally common for players to be conservatives. It's depressing to realize that these guys support Trump, but I guess it's not surprising.

I thought that he was just saying that he wanted the movie industry to make more Westerns.

Not what I meant. He could be a Trump supporter but he could also just be complaining about (a) sanctimonious protest votes, (b) insincere declarations of moving to Canada from Hollywood types, (c) how much of Hollywood is responsible for making Trump a national star, etc. He's from Austin which went blue, so this isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility. It's just not a well-made point, which is not what I expect from my professional ball-slinging heroes.

I'm shocked that a white millionaire from Texas would support Trump.

But I really hope one of the brothers calls him on this shit.

Unless I missed something, there's still no evidence he actually supports Trump.  Just that he likes calling out celebrities for claiming they will move.

Sure.

Half of the country voted for him. I don't care if Jake is one of them. A lot of people who mean a lot more to you than Jake Arrieta probably did, too. Not saying you can't be mad at him, or them, or this entire country, but angrily dismissing them as nothing more than idiots and bigots isn't the right response either. I thought maybe it was, but it turns out that years of just dismissing an entire swath of the country's complaints because even the valid complaints were surrounded by racism and sexism makes those people mad, and only creates more anger and it was enough to make this tragedy happen.

If Jake's a Trump supporter, fine. Throw the baseball well and I'll look past it. I'll write it off as ignorance and I hope he learns from it, like I hope they'll all learn from it. We're going to have to pick our battles for a while, folks. This isn't the one I want to have.

BUT JULIE TOLD HIM, AS A WOMAN, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HURTING AND JAKE'S NOT BEING VERY NICE.

Half One quarter of the country voted for him.

Corrected for the fact that HALF of our apathetic electorate didn't vote at all.
