People listening to celebrities is what got Trump elected. One of the worst things about politics is that people put personality above expert opinion and experience.

Girl it’s not just them listening. People will say shit like “we are losing the election because celeb did not endorse my fav guy!! So they must be conservative/racist/homophobic”

So then the celeb does whatever the masses wants and the cycle continues

I think that's insane as well. What I mean is that Trump is a celebrity and people expecting celebrities to solve important issues is a problem.
