Lone voice of celebrity reason @ZacharyLevi cries out in the wilderness, urging calm & kindness. Fan base loses collective shit. News at 11.

In the wake of Trump’s victory, we’ve seen a lot of celebrities lose their minds. One notable exception is “Chuck” star Zachary Levi. Instead of doubling down on blamesmanship and stereotyping Trump voters, Levi is focusing his energy on understanding how we got to where we are now:
Today’s Twitter debates are gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. ?

aww does it make you feel good arguing with people on twitter big man.
— Kyler (@Kyler_2012) November 9, 2016
Nope. However, having civil conversations in an attempt to find truth, compassion, and understanding does make me feel good. ?? https://t.co/nQQaQdlxGM

No. they are exhausting. Can someone get white people some sense? This isn't a dinner party. Our livelihoods are in danger. https://t.co/ZojGhO1qhK

Ummm…white…people…? Are you sure you wanna go down that road? ? https://t.co/w5OkCjEs19
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 9, 2016
@CamiloNazar you think white people weren't the ones who made this mess?
— Amy Lou Who (@superwhomom) November 9, 2016
Are you suggesting that not even one POC voted for Trump? If so, then yes, only white people elected him. Is that your final answer? ? https://t.co/pftW1pzzaR

Apologies, I never aim to be a Geometric angle. Pregunta: What was the color of the skin of the majority of folks who voted for Hillary? https://t.co/hou1xbRWQd
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 9, 2016
How do we get back from this? This very thing scares me more than Trump.
— Melissa (@melhoudart) November 9, 2016
And now you know why I’m wanting to talk about it. How we treat each other moving forward is far more important. The divide is terrifying. https://t.co/etSCLH2gh9

@CamiloNazar sorry zach but the facts don't lie pic.twitter.com/vaUvgExjle

A) Thanks for the data drop. Love me some facts. ?
B) Doesn’t that still mean that the majority of people who voted for Hillary were white? https://t.co/X9S4A2uUhl— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 9, 2016
Levi took plenty of heat for his honest approach, but he wasn’t deterred.
Dude. Now is the time to listen and summon some empathy, not to argue. People are angry, scared, hurt.

Well, it says a lot about you. I'll be sure to think of you when I'm in gay conversion therapy!

Fuck Zachary Levi for this bullshit. Fuck you. https://t.co/lxdaQwhxuj

I’m merely trying to use Socratic debate to quell what I believe to be a lot of hate and fear. We must try, at the very least. ? https://t.co/SirstDsaVc
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 9, 2016
Prizing logic and reason over emotional outbursts? What a novel idea.
Alright y’all, that’s enough debate for one day I think, but I’ll leave you with this…
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 10, 2016
At no point today did I attack anyone, or any idea. I merely asked questions, which led to some feeling antagonized or hurt…
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 10, 2016
My fear is that we have now gotten to a place as a society where we are no longer allowed to kindly ask questions, and respectfully debate…
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 10, 2016
I understand the fears of folks on both sides of this situation, and I will stand with all of you should our government overstep its bounds…
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 10, 2016
But I am far more afraid of us, we the people, ripping each other apart without hearing one another out, than any elected official…
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 10, 2016
I will continue to pray for ALL of us, our country, and this amazing world we live in. Love, peace, and blessings. Always. ?
— Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 10, 2016
Respect, Mr. Levi. Respect.
My favorite person on Twitter right now has to be @ZacharyLevi it's refreshing.
— Grayson Gilcrease (@most_def) November 9, 2016
@ZacharyLevi I love that you're so level headed with all of this. People are attacking you but you just take it so well and talk it out.
— Cassidy Clipp (@ChuckLover13) November 9, 2016
@ZacharyLevi thank you for being a voice of sanity. love you.
— Maggie Shoemaker (@futile__devices) November 10, 2016
@ZacharyLevi amazed at how cool & kind you have been to all the angry & aggressive tweets. You really are a class act! #greatexample
— supermoviefan?? (@supermoviefan) November 10, 2016
@ZacharyLevi I love how you are willing to have an open & honest discussion and not a name calling event. You are awesome!!
— Colette Burandt (@ColetteBurandt) November 9, 2016
Hey @ZacharyLevi. Never stop asking questions. Good on you for trying to open a dialogue.
— Lora Page (@loracpage) November 10, 2016
Mad respect for your bravery in continuing to ask questions and dialogue fairly and respectfully. Lots of love❤️
