As a proud activist, the 39-year-old singer elaborated on his theory that voting for Trump wasn’t a Christian action.
“The whole point of Christianity is to behave as Jesus would have behaved – and Jesus would not have voted for Donald Trump, no matter what his pay was going to do as a result of that.”
Isbell has been pretty active on Twitter lately, promoting his album and sharing jokes. The above post from Thursday received 6,600 likes, so Isbell is definitely reaching people in his efforts. In the tweet, Isbell sarcastically asks Kavanaugh supporters to “buy literally everything I own.” Comments on the post were a general mixture of agreement with Isbell’s point and argument for Kavanaugh’s defense.

The country singer also promoted National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday by sharing a tweet. In the tweet’s photo, Isbell holds a red sign that says “Register to VOTE now” in large white letters. Isbell points to the sign with a charismatic look on his face, as he tries to inspire more people to register. The comments for this tweet showed again, a variety of responses. While some comments supported and commended Isbell for encouraging voter registration, others made sure to argue which political party one should vote for.
