In a world where Hollywood tends to lean left faster than a politician can change their stance on tax cuts, it’s refreshing to see a big name like Mel Gibson stepping up to the plate and throwing some serious shade at the progressives. That’s right, folks—your ears are not deceiving you. Mel Gibson, known for his legendary roles and equally impressive directing chops, has decided to put his chips on the table for none other than Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Buckle up; this is bound to be a wild ride.
In a recent chat, Gibson didn’t mince words when he shared his thoughts on the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. He expressed his belief that her intelligence is akin to a fence post. The specific measurement for “fence post-IQ” isn’t on any standardized test, but one can reasonably assume it’s not exactly in the genius range. This cheeky jab came right on the heels of Gibson discussing who he’d be voting for, and let’s be honest, it was like watching a child wait for Christmas morning—everyone saw it coming.
It’s almost amusing how Gibson, a man who has seen the highs and lows of Hollywood, makes this declaration at a time when many A-listers seem too scared to express anything other than unwavering support for the left. This is the same Hollywood that often prides itself on being a bastion of progressivism, where anything resembling conservative thought is often met with the same enthusiasm that one would reserve for a root canal. But Mel? He’s got the guts to stand tall and say what many folks are thinking but are too afraid to utter aloud.
Now, imagine a second term with President Trump. According to Gibson, it would be a lot brighter than the alternative. Without wanting to dive too deep into the political weeds, it’s clear that many believe a repeat of the last four years would bring more prosperity and common sense than anything the left has to offer. The record speaks volumes—border control, economic policies, and foreign relations suddenly don’t seem so mysterious when you compare them to the chaotic alternatives often proposed by progressive politicians.
So what does this mean for the film industry and Mel Gibson’s career? Well, it might not make him the belle of the ball at the next Hollywood awards show, but it sure does paint him as a champion of those who aren’t afraid to call out what they see as nonsense. In a town that has chased conservative voices into the hills, Gibson’s willingness to speak up and share his political views makes him a gladiator in an arena filled with timid sheep.
As we near the election, the stakes are high, and figures like Mel Gibson remind us that laughter can coexist with serious critique. So as we buckle up for the upcoming political circus, one thing seems certain: The fence posts aren’t the only things being evaluated for their intelligence this election season.
