So, the president tweeting anti-Muslim videos posted by right-wing hate group doesn't concern you, but Stephen Kings tweeting about this does???!!
Any tweeting of anti-muslim videos doesn't bother me at all. I learned long ago, as Christians were being, and are, bashed over and over and over, and as they were being demonized, that it's okay to trash religion. So, sure, tweet anti-muslim videos all you want. It's the in-thing these days to beat down religion.
As for Stephen King, he is entitled to his opinion. He's my favorite author, but I 100% disagree with his political views. But I don't read his books for politics. And I know that because I have a different opinion than he does concerning politics, I am supposed to hate him and stand in front of his house, threaten him, beat on his door, and threaten his family. That, of course, is what the left is teaching us to do. Unfortunately, I'm a slow learner, so if I don't go ape-**** over King's political opinions... you'll have to excuse me.
I don't really know what you mean by that. I may have missed the political leaning of his early books. Maybe Christine was a liberal, I don't know. Some people think that time he got hit by a car changed him, but I'm not enough a Kig fan to know.
I’m saying that his whacked politics have warped him and cost him his creativity. Christine and all his classics were way before that. Something happened to him.

I'm guessing his politics have not changed much over his life, so maybe the King fans I have read in the Books section of this forum are right when they say it was the accident that nearly killed him that changed him. The other possibility is that he ran out of great books to read. I mean, let's be serious, Paul McCartney's work these days is nowhere near what he did with that band he was in in the 60s.
Yah, King apparently prefers Democrats. As for the other
"Philanthropy
"King has stated that he donates approximately $4 million per year "to libraries, local fire departments that need updated lifesaving equipment (Jaws of Life tools are always a popular request), schools, and a scattering of organisations that underwrite the arts."[129][148]
"The Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, chaired by the author and his wife, ranks sixth among Maine charities in terms of average annual giving with over $2.8 million in grants per year, according to The Grantsmanship Center.[149]
"In November 2011, the STK Foundation donated $70,000 in matched funding via his radio station to help pay the heating bills for families in need in his home town of Bangor, Maine, during the winter.[150]"
So he's doing some good things. I can live with that. & his charitable giving doesn't seem to be partisan - I assume it's either free outright or @ most, means tested.
& he did apologize for his initial remarks, & credited the Republicans on the train for getting out & helping the survivors.

It was always clear in his books his sense of morality and fairness which is what used to define a liberal or Democrat, back when I was a Democrat too. But he has taken the red pill and went down the rabbit hole of modern day, sjw, whacked in the head liberalism. I kept my same values which make me a Republican now.
