James Cameron, the Avatar director, calls President Trump the "most narcissistic asshole in history since fucking Nero"

“I’m not frustrated that Avatar isn’t solving it,” says Cameron — who calls President Trump the “most narcissistic asshole in history since fucking Nero,” and adds, “Yeah, you can quote that” — “I’m frustrated because the human race seems to be delusional about what they think is going to happen next. We are going backwards. But who’s to say we wouldn’t be going backwards even faster if it wasn’t for these films? There isn’t an alternative Earth without Avatar we can point to and say, ‘It made this measurable difference.’ What we can say is the Avatar films are on the right side of history.”

MAGAts are so very stupid, their idiotic boycotts just attract more attention to whatever they're boycotting.

way too complex and abstract for them.

One of the Fox News dimwits “reports” about the boycott and everyone who was never going to see the movie see it as a badge of loyalty.

At least in his 70s he's grown humble enough to add the "potentially".

I'll go to my grave loving Aliens though.

Elie Wiesel once said "I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

Everyone who speaks out is making a difference. The more people that speak out and condemn Trump the better. Especially when celebrities and prominent people speak out it hurts Trump's ego which helps stop him.

I urge you to never be silent and always speak out.
