As many American cities prepare for unrest following Tuesday's presidential election, Kiss frontman and co-founder Paul Stanley hopes cooler heads prevail.
"Stores and houses are boarding up for fear of violence and reprisals after Election Day?!?! What has this country become and how did we get here??" Stanley asked Monday via Twitter. "When did coexistence and acceptance of differing opinions go from being the fabric of American democracy to defining your enemy?"
Stanley has become more straightforward about his politics this year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has been critical of President Trump's leadership, he has also repeatedly expressed concern over partisanship in the media on both sides of the proverbial aisle.
With pre-election anxiety mounting over the weekend, Stanley posted a photo of himself preparing for a 25-mile bike ride. He encouraged others to find something to do that would give them some reprieve from worrying about the election.
Throughout much of the year, Stanley and his fellow Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons have encouraged common-sense coronavirus safety measures and encouraged their followers to make a plan to vote this Election Day.
The pair also pledged that Kiss will not resume its 'End of the Road' tour until their is a vaccine or a cure available for COVID-19.
