Barbra Streisand: A Strong Voice for Democracy
At 81, legendary singer and actress Barbra Streisand remains vocal about threats to democracy, particularly her opposition to Donald Trump. A longtime Democratic supporter, she has openly criticized Trump, calling him “ill-informed” and “the Liar in Chief.” In a recent interview, she stated she wouldn’t stay in the U.S. if he wins in 2024.
Her frustration with Trump inspired her 2018 album Walls, featuring songs like Don’t Lie to Me, expressing her discontent with dishonesty in politics. In her memoir, My Name is Barbra, she argues that artists serve as a nation’s conscience, challenging authority.
While she finds hope in President Joe Biden’s leadership, Streisand remains wary of Trump’s possible return. She envisions an America free of deception and division, where truth is restored. Do you think celebrities should use their influence to address political issues? Share your thoughts!
