- This is all I can think about every time he’s in the news. Yes fuck trump but this guy is weird.
  
  In context of the hollywood if this is his only wierd thing, he is a saint.
  People get bent out of shape over him while hollwyood is literally filled with rapists and pedophiles who mostly went un punished with a few exceptions.
  
  Is it weird to be attracted to younger women, know that marriage isn’t for you, and then have different relationships within the type that interests you?
  Idk, I think he’s just marching to his own drummer rather than being an Epstein.
He needs to safeguard the planet for the next generation of his girlfriends
At first, I was like, "Who cares?"
But as I think about it, people and especially Conservatives, love to use the Wolf of Wall Street as a source of memes and personal meaning. They imagine their heroes are Jordan Belfort "sticking it to the elites," and I have to wonder if they won't feel some kind of cognitive dissonance when they want to use this character in the future, now that DiCaprio has come out against Trump and in support of Harris.
- Narrator: They experienced no cognitive dissonance whatsoever, and things remained unchanged.
  
  I know you're being facetious, but just to be clear for those in the back (since the internet often misunderstands words), you can experience cognitive dissonance and still continue doing the same things afterwards.
  It's just that uncomfortable feeling when you are presented with an idea that conflicts with your beliefs about reality. I fully expect they'll figure out how to get past it with some mental gymnastics, a thought-terminating-cliche, or (gasp) accepting reality and recognizing that the character is fictional.
- Imagine choosing who to vote for, based on who a character from a meme endorses.
  Democracy is broken.

  Democracy has always been an illusion my dude.
- They used a gay actor I to BDSM for anti covid memes, so I dont that sekc reoefction is their strong suite.
  
  ..... You right mate? Smelling toast at all?
If he gets rid of his yacht, I might actually believe that he cares about climate change.
- We dont criticize elites consumption... They are our betters so they deserve to have polluting toys.
  
  This is true. Being a job creator is hard work and they should not have to deal with peasant quips and jabs.
Says the guy who uses private jets, yachts and helicopters.... preach water drink wine.
He has a chance to reach the all-important under-25 demographic.
- Oooof heheh
Trying to get on the good side before the Diddy case drags him in?
I’m just shocked that this is still up for debate. This year the weather has been erratic to say the least.
Worse even if Democrats win and there are no spoilers in the party (Mnuchin or Sinema), you are still only getting cap and trade which at one point was the Republican plan for climate change before they decided to go to full denialism.
Why do people care what a non politician says about a politician? Stupid person cult fan club behavior.
- Isn't that Trump's entire MO?
- Endorsements have been a thing throughout a lot of human history because we are very social beings. It may sound silly, but some people literally care more what an entertainer says instead of any or all politicians or political experts, and will vote because of it.
