Guardians of the Galaxy Director James Gunn Calls for Unity in Fight Against Donald Trump

It's Sunday, the tail-end of a slow news weekend. Things are looking bleak for the clickbait entertainment media, bereft of topics with which to formulate the life-sustaining clickbait articles that fuel the 24-hour entertainment news cycle. But who should appear, just when it seems like all is lost? That's right, it's Guardians of the Galaxy director and political pundit James Gunn, whose Twitter feed could sustain a small country's entire clickbait arsenal.

So breathe a deep sigh of relief, dear readers! Despite your fears, it looks like you'll be able to read a nine-tweet missive on politics from the director of one of your favorite superhero movies today after all!

Gunn took to Twitter today with a message about "conservatives," "trumpies," and the difference between them.

A note on the #TriggerAConservativeIn2Words trend – MANY thinking conservatives oppose Trump & find Trump's disrespect of moral values & our country despicable. Trumpies are NOT always conservatives, & conservatives are not always Trumpies. (THREAD)

3. Trumpies love the symbol of the American flag – they put it on freaking everything – but have no sense of the purity, innocence, hardiness, valour, vigilance, perseverance & justice it actually represents.

5. Many conservatives, however, think Trump is a useful idiot they can use to forward their agenda – *cough* Paul Ryan *cough* Chuck Grassley *cough*. This is morally corrupt. But they're opportunists & aren't necessarily delusional. Once it's not worth it, they'll turn on him.

7. I long for the day when our conversations are between liberals and moderates and conservatives and libertarians and eccentrics and so on, and not between proto-fascist Trumpies and EVERYONE else – liberals and conservatives alike – who resists that.

9. Many conservatives have sold us down the river. But some have not, and we can use their help in our fight to stop this whining, self-serving maniac from destroying our country. Love to you all.

It looks like James Gunn has found the solution to America's political ills. And it looks a little bit like this.
