Captain America, you will be the committed political best friend.
Just as Captain America confronted the stalkers and “just sought to do the right thing,” Chris Evans’s political tweets are evidence that the actor, the MCU’s titular superhero, is so determined to fight for his beliefs. And with its new political website A Starting point, Captain America’s star hopes to allow the electorate to relate to its elected officials in a more meaningful way.
In a July 14 tweet announcing the site’s launch, Evans said, “Just a friendly reminder that A Starting Point, the civil engagement project that I’ve been working on for the last couple years, launches today. If you get a chance, go by and check it out. We hope it can create a little more connectivity between elected officials and their constituents, [and] maybe demystify some issues that people may find daunting.” The actor added, “An engaged electorate will create a government [that] more accurately reflects who we are and what we need.”
Evans has been committed to political engagement for years and has never hesitated as a percentage of his social media perspectives. However, given the polarizing nature of politics, this carries the threat of alienating some fanatics. Still, it’s a gamble Evans has always been willing to take.
“I’m not able to look in the mirror if I feel something strong and I don’t speak,” Evans told Esquire in 2017. “I think it depends on how you talk. We are allowed to disagree. If I provide my case and other Americans don’t want to stop by to watch my movies accordingly, I.”
Echoing those sentiments in a November 201 interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Evans admitted that his political prospects as a celebrity can also become “delicate.” “We live in an industrial sector that is primarily about ticketing with charge, and you, an influence downstream, can also hurt that,” he added. “But the things of friends instinctively matter more important.”
Aleven, though Evans is a vocal critic of Donald Trump and supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, said being frank does not negate his ability to hear dissenting views. Here are some of his most productive political tweets he’s shared to read at the launch of A Starting Point.
In October 2019, Evans advised “everyone who decides to get out of politics” to “take intellectual note of where they will draw the line and consider it obligatory to get involved.” Their argument: to see that this has always happened without them noticing.
After Kanye West tweeted a photo of himself dressed in a “Make America Great Again” hat, consistent with what he describes as “the wonderful and the appropriate american again,” the actor criticized him for his suggestion that the United States repeal the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1789.
In response to a Washington Post opinion piece in June 2018, “A Torch to Tinder”: Stoking Racial Tensions is one of Trump’s presidencies, “Evans denounced the president’s alleged efforts to dehumanize immigrants.”
In July 2019, Evans reported that Tomi Lahren’s “loss of sympathy, respect and general awareness” “was fleeing hell” in foreign countries.
Evans responded to one of Trump’s diatribes in the “fake news media” in October 2018.
Referring to Trump’s “covfefe” tweet in 2017, Evans tagged his brother Scott, putting his own comic twist on Cool Luke Hand’s quote: “What is the failure of communication?”
Evans tweeted we’d “hit basic human decency bedrock,” comparing Trump to a playground bully after the president made fun of a rally protester’s weight and encouraged him to start exercising.
Once again, he called Trump when he mentioned the elements and the climate as he talked about global warming.
After political commentator Brit Hume defended Trump’s loss of “wisdom of 19th-century American history,” Evans questioned whether the U.S. president’s similar assignment would also be so standardized.
The actor called President Nine’s July Tweet “Progressive Women’s Democratic Congress” to “return” to other “hateful and racist” countries.
When former FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June 2017, Evans gave his answers in real time. He even looked for Comey’s “Lordy, I hope there’s stripes” on a T-shirt.
He wrote that seeing Trump’s inmate scored in 2017 after the biggest violent white supremacist friend in Charlottesville, Virginia, “like seeing an activity accident.”
Captain America delivers a message of hope on July 4, 2019.
Evans tweeted that David Brooks’ New York Times 2017 wrote that the global “child-led” had “phrases too big and too productive” to call one.
In September 201, he said Trump’s presidency “can be immortalized as a circus,” without the businessman’s name.
Obviously, sharing his political views, Evans can also “do this all day.”
