Hollywood actor John Cusack, known for his leftist views and political activism, boldly accused Democrat elitists of being “full of s—” and betraying the working class for decades.
In a passionate social media post, Cusack argued that the Democrat party’s complacency with wealthy interests and abandonment of certain principles has paved the way for Republicans like Donald Trump to win elections.
“They have played a major part in creating the precise conditions for fascism to flourish – Obama corporatist democrats – are to the right of Richard Nixon on domestic policy – Don’t believe me – look it up – and Dems have sold out the working class for decades,” he wrote in part on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.
The 57-year-old Serendipity and Say Anything actor also criticized Barack Obama’s famous ‘Hope and Change’ slogan, stating that it had simply become “another branded hustle.”
Cusack’s social media rant was sparked by an article in Jacobin Magazine, a socialist publication, which claimed that some Democrats want to ban federal wealth taxes.
“Don’t worry fellas – the Democrats will save the .0000001% from paying tax – the hubris to do this – is staggering – it’s a sham and an insult to everyone’s basic intelligence – the contempt for people – To even attempt this…Unbelievable,” he said.
Cusack went on to criticize the culture of cronyism in politics.
“Your Yale and Harvard friends will praise your intelligence and greatness, but they’re all connected to the same big-money power players. And we control the world, right?,” he continued. “This kind of shocking unethical nonsense is one of the main reasons (among others) why Trump’s populist tactics resonate with people.”
He also blasted Trump’s supporters for voting for, in his words, a “mentally ill, virus-spreading, child-abducting Nazi rapist.”

What are some criticisms of John Cusack’s views on the political landscape?
Ll take care of you and your family – the rest of us get ♥ – as the myth goes – if voting worked they’d make it…illegal,” he tweeted.
While Cusack’s comments may align with the beliefs of many on the left, they have also received backlash from some who believe that his views are overly simplistic and fail to address the complexities of the political landscape.
It remains to be seen how Cusack’s remarks will impact his career in Hollywood, where many actors tend to avoid expressing controversial political opinions for fear of alienating audiences.
Regardless, Cusack’s bold stance serves as a reminder that celebrities, like anyone else, have a right to their opinions and are not confined to a predetermined set of beliefs.
