I think that is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard an actor say. No more Affleck movies for me. Not that I ever watched them anyway since he srarted trying to do comedy.which he completely sucks at.
I would like Ben to know this fact, if things went down in big & bad way, SHTF, Ben's sole purpose at that point would be to provide food. Ask yourself Ben, what value would you have in a deconstructed modern society? You would have value as a source of protein.
There are likely many actors whose political affiliation Affleck doesn’t know. So, for his convenience, pass a law requiring those he deems to be “big time Republicans” to prominently wear a patch on their outer garment so he knows which movies to watch and which to avoid.
Purely for his personal convenience, since we know from history that nothing more sinister would come of the idea.
