He said โNOT MY PROBLEM! IM WHITEโ
Glen Powell is staying quiet on politics in interviews because "over time I realized that politics divide people."
"People trying to prove their point โ for me, itโs the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. Itโs not as healthy as it once was. [Engaging in politics] is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere.โ (via Esquire)

As someone who has experienced a smear campaign, I can tell you with full certainty that it can take you into total darkness.
They forget they are dealing with a human being. They forget it is someone's entire life they are tearing apart.
This is what sinister journalism does.
Shame on the British media.
