Standing Firm for Democracy at 81
Barbra Streisand, the iconic singer and actor, is no stranger to controversy. At the age of 81, she continues to use her powerful voice to speak out against what she believes is a threat to democracy.
Streisand has been a long-time Democratic supporter and fundraiser and has never been shy about expressing her dislike of Trump. She has called him “so stupid” and “ill-informed,” branding him “the Liar in Chief, the Groper in Chief.”
In a recent interview with Stephen Colbert, she boldly declared, “I can’t live in this country if he becomes president.”
But this isn’t the first time Streisand has made such a dramatic declaration. Like many other celebrities, she vowed to leave the United States after Trump won in 2016. At that time, she quipped, “America was great – before you were elected.”
Expressing Frustration Through Music
Streisand’s frustration with Trump led her to release her 36th album, “Walls,” in 2018. This musical masterpiece serves as a homage to Trump’s tyranny and includes powerful tracks like “Don’t Lie to Me.”
Streisand explains that the constant barrage of news and lies made her sick, and she wanted to express her outrage through her music. She firmly believes that the country should not be lied to and stands against deception.
