At 81, Barbra Streisand continues to use her platform to fight for democracy, particularly against threats posed by former president Donald Trump. Streisand, a long-time Democratic supporter, has openly criticized Trump, calling him “so stupid” and “ill-informed.” In a recent interview, she declared, “I can’t live in this country if he becomes president.”
This isn’t the first time she’s made such a statement—she vowed to leave after Trump’s 2016 win. Frustrated by his lies, Streisand released her 36th album, Walls, which addresses her outrage through powerful songs like “Don’t Lie to Me.”
In her memoir, Streisand reflects on the role of artists in society, believing they are the conscience of a nation, confronting uncomfortable truths. Despite Trump’s election, she chose to stay and fight for change, recognizing that her voice was needed in these divisive times.
Now, with President Joe Biden in office, Streisand remains hopeful but wary of Trump’s potential return. She calls for a restoration of truth in America, hoping for a future free from lies and division.
