Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé.
And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.

He went off the deep end a few years ago. I used to be an eager reader of his books. Haven't touched one in years and never will again.

The once great storyteller has gone insane over politics in general and Trump Derangement Syndrome in particular. King probably needs to be exorcized. There's really nothing good about him anymore.

Methinks Stephen King is on to something. However, he has the subject of that "something" all wrong.
FTA: "According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so. He told The Sunday Times: “Twenty or 30 years down the line, when I’ll be dead and you’ll be old, I think a lot of people are going to say, ‘Well, I never voted for Trump.’”
More accurately, in twenty or thirty years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will say "I read Stephen King books until he went off his rocker due to the success of President Donald Trump. His mind was broken by how President Trump Made America Great Again and foiled all the communist wannabes machinations for a United Socialist States of America."
I guess someone who has made a living writing about the macabre was always a hairs' width away from lunacy.

I can't believe he's burning away the prestige of a brilliant career as a beloved author all for chasing after the TDSiest crown of the lunatic fringe.
He must be as dumb as he looks.

No matter how hard they try, liberal elites will never understand MAGA. The best they can do is come up with lame projections of who they are. I admit I voted for Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Coin Powell (write-in), George W Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Donald Trump. Some of them, I regret, but I’m not a cowardly dem hiding behind my virtue-signaling. People change, both politicians and voters.

My mother told me once she never voted for Roosevelt. Who is more reliable: King or my mom?

Someone whose life is immersed in fiction often has a problem with truth.
Liberalism is a symptom of mental illness.

It took me a few moments to dredge up out of my memory who Stephen King was.
He's not the one with the wild hair, right? Or the one that got assassinated.
Ah! I remember. He wrote a book called "Christine" about an evil car . . . or was it an evil dog . . . that arose from the dead? I can't remember if I read any of his books or just saw the movie trailers.

King has always been a leftwing moron. He thinks Hilary Clinton would have been the best President in history, that the military only accepts low-iq wastes of space, and that anyone who supports anything other than far-left ideology deserves to die. Why is anyone shocked by this rather mild prediction given his history?

Leave him alone. If history is any measure, people like him -- especially writers who become obsessed with knowingly propelling lies and deceit -- end up self-immolating in the process. He's very twisted and too far gone with TDS, which may be great news for the reading public that gets to see right thru this charlatan.

Won't deny I voted for Trump three times. But I might deny I read some of your books. They weren't all great.

Blood and gore novels (cast as movies) was a thing ... in the 1970s. But the field wasn't so crowded that people like King weren't able to flourish. TDS is an all-too-crowded field. I suggest King find another thing and attempt to give it currency. The only outcome for those with TDS is banishment... to the wilderness.

He's nuts, too.

More likely that years from now, many Americans who voted for Hillary/Biden/Kamala and against Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.
