Jack Black says it feels like ‘the end of the world’ if voters don’t turn out for midterms

Jack Black says he has a dire feeling about the future if midterm voters don’t turn out in droves on Election Day.
“It feels like it’s going be the end of the world if we don’t all get on board and vote,” Black said Thursday in an exclusive interview with The Hill.
The “School of Rock” star is teaming up with VoteRiders, a non-partisan voting rights organization, to urge Americans to head to the polls.
“I was just feeling a little anxious about the upcoming election. It’s so consequential, and I’ve been listening to my favorite podcasts and getting a little freaked out. I didn’t feel like I was really participating enough and I wanted to find a way to help get out the vote,” the 53-year-old actor and musician said.
Black, a vocal critic of former President Trump, said he’s longing for an election not to feel quite as critical as Tuesday’s appears to him.
“It seems like it’s escalating every election cycle, that it becomes more and more important to vote, and more consequential, and it’s so exhausting,” Black told The Hill editor-in-chief Bob Cusack.
“But so much is on the ballot this cycle. We’ve got a woman’s right to choose is on the ballot. The environment is on the ballot, environmental protections. And not to mention democracy is on the ballot. There’s so there’s so many divides in this country right now,” he said.

While he supported Joe Biden in the 2020 White House race, Black wouldn’t say for sure whether he’d root him on in a 2024 run.
“I want him to do what’s right for this election cycle. And right now it’s all about the midterms,” Black said of Biden.
“I like a lot of the things that he’s done. I’m willing to forgive him of falling off a bike, or fumbling with the words or forgetting a name,” he added of the 79-year-old commander in chief.
“I’m right there with Biden. It’s a forgetful time. But his heart’s in the right place and he’s got great people around him. So why not?”
Black said he views a potential reelection bid by Trump as a threat that’s “always lurking in the background.”
“He’s got to run because he’s also running away from himself and his mountain of lawsuits,” Black said.
“If he can win again, in his mind, he’s probably thinking, ‘Oh, then that’ll erase the time that I lost. I’ll be a winner again!’ Black exclaimed.
The Tenacious D performer predicted that a 2024 Trump campaign would focus on immigration, “race politics,” and “dog whistles.”

Since when are jobs, affordable food and housing, security and lowering crime rates referred to as 'dog whistles'??

Jack Black is funny and his band is entertaining.

Seems like voter turnout is extremely high for a mid-term.
Jack’s problem is people voting against one party rule is anti- democratic.

Those blackmailed cretins live in constant fear that their control file will be released to the public.

What's he nervous about? Isn't this exactly what he's been advocating and hoping for his entire career:

I think he's funny but I have no interest in his political ideas. So why would I want to read this?

These organizations are BS. They are there to drive democratic votes. Stop pretending you are something else.

Oh, look, another out of touch nutcase leftist celebrity who doesn’t have to suffer the repercussions of the policies he voted for and promotes. Shocking.
