“Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan said Colorado’s move to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot was “dangerous.”
Sheridan made the remarks during his recent appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“That’s dangerous as s**t,” he said about The Colorado Supreme Court citing Trump’s role in the J6 Capitol riot as their justification for taking him off the 2024 primary ballot.
“People can think of Donald Trump however they want to think of Donald Trump,” Sheridan began. “It really doesn’t matter who the individual is.”

He noted that their decision is essentially paving the way for a “dictatorship,” which ironically is what plenty of Democrats have been claiming would happen if Trump retook the White House in the upcoming presidential election.
“A court in Colorado is going to essentially make a decision based upon a trial that has not happened yet,” he cautioned.
“They’re basically saying he’s guilty of something he hasn’t been tried for, and they’re removing him from a ballot.”
He warned that setting this precedent would have dire consequences for future elections.
“Right now, maybe, the Democrats feel they are justified in that action because they’re so terrified of what Donald Trump may do if he becomes president again, but are they thinking about what’s going to happen in 20 years or 30 years because this has now been established,” the “Lawman: Bass Reeves” executive producer questioned.
“Another party will be in control, and that party can use all these manipulations of rules to maintain control,” he added.

“And that’s when you start to have a dictatorship, regardless of left or right. It doesn’t make a difference.”
Sheridan reminded Rogan about how the legitimacy of George W. Bush was questioned by Democrats in the wake of the 2000 election.
“People had forgotten that Al Gore and the Democratic Party—and I didn’t vote for George W. Bush—they contested that election then,” he recalled.
“They said it was rigged. They took it to the Supreme Court. We didn’t have a president, really, for almost two months.”
Sheridan and Rogan also discussed how masculinity and hard work have been demonized by liberals.
The “Special Ops: Lioness” producer mentioned Paul Harvey’s 1960s poem, “If I were the Devil,” which talks about how Satan would hypothetically corrupt the United States, then reveals that it’s already happening.
“You can use the Devil as a euphemism for anything that you want,” Sheridan commented. “But the result is the same. We’re seeing it.”
The “Mayor of Kingstown” showrunner said he had been “accused” of toxic masculinity in last few years.
“Congratulations, you’re on the right side,” Rogan chuckled. “‘Defund the police,’ ‘toxic masculinity,’ they’re all sort of in the same category of things,” he said. “Seems silly to think that way.”
Rogan was affronted that “natural masculine behavior” is being viewed in a negative light.
“These are all terms that have been created,” Sheridan remarked. “It’s fascinating that language is being reinvented before our eyes.”
“There’s all these new words that are just meant to keep one person from disagreeing with another person’s position.”
He spoke about a book he read that discussed how liberal and conservative ideologies make it impossible for “compromise.”

“Essentially, it’s stated that the liberal point of view was that crime and all these social ills is a social construct and that if you could find a way to level the playing field for everybody,” he recounted.
“Crime would be eliminated, all these issues would go away, poverty would go away, all of the social ills that we have would disappear if everyone had the same opportunities and the same stuff.”
“The flipside of that is the conservative view which is, ‘There’s evil in the world, there’s good in the world, we’re gonna try and manage the evil as best we can and create an opportunity for people to succeed, or they can f— up and best of luck,'” Sheridan concluded.
“One side seems naive, one side seems extremely harsh, but those are the beliefs and that side can never compromise with this side and vise-versa because you’re abandoning your own ideology.”
