Fans have figured out that Jack Quaid isn’t as MAGA-loving as his dad with a little help from ‘The Boys’
Last updated
Fans are rallying around Jack Quaid after his father, Dennis Quaid, voiced his controversial support for Donald Trump at a recent rally in California.
Dennis Quaid’s Speech
Dennis Quaid attended a Republican rally in Coachella on October 13, where he donned a “Make America Great Again” hat and urged the audience to “pick a side” as the presidential election approaches. His comments, including a divisive stance on law and order versus “wide open borders,” shocked many fans, leading them to question Jack’s political beliefs.
Jack Quaid’s Political Stance
Fortunately for fans, it appears Jack Quaid does not share his father’s MAGA views. Internet detectives quickly unearthed Jack’s active support for Democratic candidates, including his involvement with the Geeks & Nerds for Harris/Walz initiative. He participated in a pro-Harris panel alongside The Boys co-stars, where he expressed support for Kamala Harris, calling her performance “crushed it last night.”
Social Media Reactions
Fans expressed relief over Jack’s political alignment, with one user humorously imagining a conversation between father and son: “Yes dad, I agree we do need to pick a side… except you picked the wrong one.” Others noted Jack’s activity on TikTok, where he liked comments criticizing Dennis’s pro-Trump stance, further distancing himself from his father’s views.
Support from Fellow Celebrities
Jack Quaid is not alone in his political beliefs. He’s part of the Geeks & Nerds for Harris/Walz group, which includes notable figures like Mark Hamill and George Takei. This contrasts sharply with Dennis Quaid, who has joined the ranks of celebrities like Kid Rock and Elon Musk in supporting Trump.
The Irony of The Boys
Interestingly, Jack’s involvement in The Boys, a series that satirizes Trumpism, underscores the irony of Dennis Quaid’s remarks. Jack recently portrayed Ronald Reagan in a biopic, which makes his father’s comments about comparing Reagan to Trump even more perplexing. Dennis went so far as to declare Trump his “favorite president of the 21st century,” a statement that has left many fans disheartened.
While Dennis Quaid’s rally appearance may have tainted the nostalgia of films like The Parent Trap for some fans, Jack Quaid’s clear political stance offers a refreshing counterpoint. As fans navigate these conflicting views within the Quaid family, they can take comfort in Jack’s active support for progressive causes and his distance from his father’s controversial rhetoric.
