Barbara Streisand recently shared her strong opinions about former President Donald Trump, warning that a Trump victory in 2024 would “mark the end of democracy in America as we know it.” Streisand initially stirred controversy by saying she would leave the country if Trump won, a claim she has now repeated along with concerns about the state of American democracy.

Taking to X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, Streisand wrote, “Donald Trump was found by a federal judge to have orchestrated an insurrection. He watched as the chaos and violence ensued and did nothing to stop it. He still lies about the election results, and if he gets re-elected, he will destroy our democracy.” She voiced her concerns on a platform known for sparking spirited debates, especially with Elon Musk’s more lenient approach to free speech. However, her comments have been met with a mixture of backlash and support.

A look at the responses shows that many readers found her remarks out of touch. One popular comment read, “I’ve always loved your voice and grew up listening to your music. However, I cannot bring myself to stomach your music anymore since you have used your fame to spread your lies. How disappointing. I will never spend another penny on anything that has your name on it.”

The star also made headlines with her claim that she’d leave the U.S. should Trump win. The American Tribune picked up on Streisand’s statement, pointing out that she’s also praised President Joe Biden, saying she thinks he’s doing a good job.

Her remarks reflect the broader divisions that continue to shape American political discourse. Critics argue her stance demonstrates a lack of loyalty to her country, suggesting that anyone willing to leave so quickly lacks a commitment to America’s foundational values. Others support her sentiments, viewing her stance as a sign of genuine concern for the future of the nation.
