Re: I Saw/Heard Jack White Here - Interviews & Serendipity
Public opinion swung back his way somewhat after 9/11 when he was temporarily denied entry to the US because he is a Muslim. (And for seemingly no other reason.) He may have modified his views in recent years since he's been back in the music scene, I don't know.

Good point, so thank God he isn't. I doubt he asks people he collaborates with to fill out questionnaires regarding their various political and cultural views, anyway.

How do you know he isn't? I never noticed an "I'm with Her" bumper sticker on his Tesla. Did he ever state his political leanings one way or other?Aquamarine wrote:Good point, so thank God he isn't.

He's made disparaging comments about Trump in Vault chat, so one could assume that means he's anti-Trump. Though he also said in an interview during the Blunderbuss tour that he doesn't vote in the U.S. elections because he doesn't believe in the two-party system.elduderino wrote:How do you know he isn't?

Re: I Saw/Heard Jack White Here - Interviews & Serendipity
In the Vault chat recently someone asked him if he was going to see the debate and his response was something like (paraphrasing) 'you mean if I am going to see Trump say whatever he wants and still win?', which is a bit anti-Trump, I might say. That does not mean he has to be pro-Hillary tho. Like choosing between a cancer and gangrene.elduderino wrote:How do you know he isn't? I never noticed an "I'm with Her" bumper sticker on his Tesla.

Re: I Saw/Heard Jack White Here - Interviews & Serendipity
In Vault chat he called Trump a misogynist and a narcissist, among other things, which gave me a giant clue that he didn't like him. He's also at different times called him a racist and said he was spreading hate. But even if he'd never said all that, all his positions on social issues (such as being on the gender-equality committee) aren't exactly Trumpian.elduderino wrote:How do you know he isn't?

Considering he said a couple years ago that he doesn't vote, wonder if he's changed his mind for this election.Aquamarine wrote:In Vault chat he called Trump a misogynist and a narcissist, among other things, which gave me a giant clue that he didn't like him.

Re: I Saw/Heard Jack White Here - Interviews & Serendipity
to everyone who replied to my reply with various comments by Jack perceived to be, or in actuality, anti-trumpian - thank you!
you just never know about someone's politics, but i'm glad we have a very 'uuuuuge perception of Jack's.

He also made comments for support of Bernie didn't he? I kinda don't know what they where but I'm sure they are somewhere in the chat logs. It's a shame he got pushed out by all the dirty tricks.
