Kirk Cameron is awful. He’s always been awful. He’s one of those people who hides behind Evangelical Christianity to gay-bash and spread hate. During the pandemic, he was also one of those people “protesting” lockdowns. You know, the lockdowns mandated by state governments to keep people safe, especially as 1.2 million people died from Covid. Well, it looks like Kirk’s superspreader events in 2020-21 were some kind of turning point for him personally. After he beefed with California’s state government over pandemic lockdowns, he moved to Nashville. In a recent podcast interview, he spoke about his decision to leave Cali:

“Growing Pains” star Kirk Cameron recently explained on the “Adam Carolla Podcast” that he left California for Tennessee to escape the Golden State’s “terrible politics” and “all the other things that make it difficult to raise a family.”

“When you’re a kid in California it’s great because your parents are paying for everything,” Cameron said. “So, you go to the beach, you’re hanging out, you’re going snow skiing, you get to eat an In-N-Out burger, you get to get some hot dogs downtown in Hollywood. It’s great. You’re having a good time.”

He continued, “But then, like my kids, they finally got out on their own, and they realized how expensive it is. They realize how terrible the politics are and all of the other things that make it difficult to raise a family there. And so all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, we got to move. We got to go somewhere where we can actually thrive and maybe even just survive.’”

Cameron said he “hopes to come back” to California one day, adding that “pound-for-pound, I think California has just so much to offer.”

Speaking on the positives of living in Nashville, Cameron said, “There’s so many creatives here that have good values. They love their family. They’re proud of their country — and the whiskey is great. So, if you like whiskey and hot chicken, Nashville is the place to be.”

I brought up the pandemic timeline of this because I think it’s really relevant here, even though hardly anyone else is bringing it up. This dude literally hosted multiple superspreader events in protest of California’s attempts to save people’s lives and not add even more stress on CA’s hospitals. And when Kirk got well-deserved backlash for all of that, he threw a tantrum and moved to Nashville, where there are people with “good values” like… Morgan Wallen. Nashville isn’t even that politically conservative overall, at least not as conservative as the rest of the state! Kirk also isn’t saying this, but I imagine he’s too broke to live in California these days too. I don’t think he’s making that much money.
