New questions to ponder
RokofAges75:
Agreed - I doubt any of the other guys were surprised about what he said; I'm sure they were aware of his political opinions. If anything, they were probably annoyed that he spoke to TMZ and made it sound like BSB would have performed at the inauguration if it would have worked out with their schedule, when we know full well the other four would never have agreed to do it. The media backlash is a bigger problem than Brian having a different opinion. Although, to be fair, Brian has every right to express his opinions to whoever he wants.
KeepThisSecret:
Yes, I meant that the boys were likely pissed that he made them all out to be in favour of Trump in that stupid video. I'm sure that they were all well aware of how he voted ... and probably just rolled their eyes. This is why people should keep their political support to themselves!! Haha I can totally see Kevin watching the video and immediately texting him a big ol "WTF??". The media backlash has not been good. Even a local radio station here in Toronto that never plays the boys posted it to their social media pages and were totally making fun of him. Brutal.
FrickingKaos:
I don't really have much to say about any of this. Sorry. I just think people read too much into things they see on social media. I kind of sometimes wish it was like back in the day when we didn't know all the behind the scenes stuff and we just kind of made up our own story because that was the fun thing to do lol
RokofAges75:
I like the accessibility that has come with social media; I feel like the guys are a lot more interactive with fans, and we get to see another side of them that we didn't see before social media was big. But because of that, we're also seeing them more as the real people they are outside of BSB, flaws and all. In my teenybopper days, I thought Brian was basically perfect, but I don't put him on that pedestal anymore. I never quite idolized any of the others the same way, so it's not the same for them, but all of them post things that make me shake my head or roll my eyes sometimes. That's okay, though; I don't have to like everything they do and say, but I still love them.
FrickingKaos:
No I know that. I was just saying I kind of miss it. I like knowing some stuff though and I don't put the guys on a pedestal either. They aren't perfect by any means and I find that I don't agree with a lot that they say or do. But that's how life is, I suppose.
