From what I’ve heard, Shatner is normally pretty right-wing about issues. Maybe fiscally, but not socially. Maybe I’m misremembering, or conflating his character on Boston Legal.

I guess it shows people can be complex.

He’s been critical of Trump and I’m pretty sure he defines himself as apolitical. I’m not sure where you’re finding that he’s right wing, but I’m open to being proven wrong.

Upon further research, he seems hard-core apolitical.

I must have assumed he was like his character that he played on Boston Legal - who was clownishly right-wing.

Sorry about that improper assumption, and thanks for calling me out on it!

I appreciate you vibe checking Shatner anyway. I learned
Anybody who calls themselves apolitical doesn’t recognize how much politics affects us, and in my book, thay makes you kinda dumb.
He can be apolitical in public, and I wish more idiot celebrities would be. You and I don’t need to know his politics. It doesn’t help anything in the grand scheme of things.
and also, the guy is almost 100 years old now. Any person that old with progressive views and stances is very uncommon in my book.
He was the commencement speaker at my college graduation and he talked about how society was destroying the planet. It was a real downer message but at least it wasnt maga talking points
he seemed to have grown with age,
