Like a lot of famous people who have dared to express some progressive side to their politics online, English actor Jason Isaacs draws right wing trolls and reactionary fuckheads to him like flies.
As he has shown before though—in both his masterful take-downs of Sean Spicer and George Osborne—Isaacs is not one to mince his words, or to back down from a fight. He is a Force For Good on the hostile plains of social media. His vocal activism makes sense considering his background. Isaacs grew up surrounded by antisemitism, once saying:
There were constantly people beating us up or smashing windows. If you were ever, say, on a Jewish holiday, identifiably Jewish, there was lots of violence around. But particularly when I was 16, in 1979, the National Front were really taking hold, there were leaflets at school, and Sieg Heiling and people goose-stepping down the road and coming after us.
So when the sad racist or misogynistic cockwombles of Twitter come for Isaacs, he comes right back.
And Trump? That man should have collapsed by now just from the sheer amount of righteous vitriol Isaacs has Tweeted in his direction. Here are some highlights from his Twitter feed:
Keep wanting to engage trolls, but click their profiles to see endless white isolationist hate-spew. Maybe they follow me as closeted humans

Yes he is. Though if a real snowflake wore that much Agent Orange it would melt as fast as Trump's smile will on his 1st day in jail. https://t.co/yKbnoBJFYt

When someone told him that no one cares about his politics:

I'd love to engage in real debate with you, but I checked your feed and it's cartoon racism of the obsessive variety. Check your meds.#Sad! https://t.co/o9dZ1uIjXy

Not a man. A bloated, painted, preening, heartless, self-obsessed, cretinous flesh-bag of hate. Not a trace of decency in him. For shame. https://t.co/rhl6Yx4dPN

At the news that Trump wouldn’t attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:
Wonder why he doesn't just ban anyone who might laugh at him and sit in an empty ballroom with some hand cream and a mirror?#TrumpDateNight https://t.co/4KJ5bXTpn4
