\nBarbra Streisand, the legendary singer and actress, is no stranger to controversy. At the age of 81, she continues to utilize her formidable voice to speak out against what she sees as a threat to democracy.\n
Streisand\u2019s latest target is former President Donald Trump, and she has made it clear that she would not support him if he is elected president again in 2024.\n
\n
Streisand has been a longtime Democratic supporter and fundraiser, and she has never been shy about expressing her dislike for Trump. She has labeled Trump \u201cso stupid\u201d and \u201cill-informed,\u201d and dubbed him \u201cthe Liar in Chief, the Groper in Chief.\u201d\n
In a recent interview with Stephen Colbert, she stated plainly, \u201cI can\u2019t live in this country if he becomes president.\u201d\n
However, this is not the first time Streisand has made such a bold remark. Like many other celebrities, she promised to depart the United States after Trump\u2019s victory in 2016. At the moment, she said, \u201cAmerica was great \u2013 before you were elected.\u201d\n
\n
Streisand\u2019s dissatisfaction with Trump inspired her to make her 36th album, \u201cWalls,\u201d in 2018. This musical masterpiece pays respect to Trump\u2019s tyranny, featuring strong compositions such as \u201cDon\u2019t Lie to Me.\u201d\n
Streisand says the constant assault of news and misinformation made her sick, and she wanted to convey her fury via her music. She is a staunch believer that the country should not be misled to and is opposed to dishonesty.\n
\n
In her memoir, \u201cMy Name is Barbra,\u201d Streisand discusses the friction between politicians and artists.\n
She believes that artists act as a country\u2019s conscience, forcing society to confront hard facts. Streisand boldly proclaims, \u201cThat\u2019s why art is the enemy of tyrants and dictators.\u201d\n
\n
Unfortunately, Streisand\u2019s powerful voice was insufficient to persuade voters in 2016. After Trump was elected, artists like as Streisand had a difficult decision: should they leave the nation or stay and fight?\n
Some people, like comedian George Lopez and talk show presenter Jon Stewart, made lighter jokes about departing for other nations or even planets. Others, such as Chelsea Handler, recognized that their platforms and views were more important than ever in a divided nation.\n
\n
After four years of darkness, Streisand finds hope in President Joe Biden. She admires his compassion, honesty, and integrity, and believes that the country is on the right track. However, she is still anxious about the impending elections and Trump\u2019s possible return to power. Streisand is resolved not to live in a country led by a man she regards as \u201cso stupid\u201d and \u201cso ill-informed.\u201d\n
A New America: Restoring the Nobility of Truth\n
Finally, Streisand envisions a new America, free of pollution, obscenity, insults, and vengeance. She advocates for the restoration of the nobility of truth, convinced that only then will America truly be great again.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
