(2,405 posts)The perception that all politicians are liars is pervasive in the real world.
People seem to flock to celebrity as they are often times (wrongfully so) put on pedestals due to their celebrity status and the fake characters they portray.
Cases in point.
1. Ronnie
2. Obama (biggest celebrity of them all, he has Rock Star Charisma and a brilliant political mind)
3. Trump
4. 2020 Celebrity to be determined.
We have been groomed by media for the last 70 years to accept the celebrity as our heroes.
This is merely the natural progression of the fast-food tv generations that lack sufficient critical thinking skills to decide what is true and just. The Kanye-fication of the poltical sphere is merely the result.
We made the bed, now we can accept it or perish. The only thing that the repubs have on us at this point is they embraced the celebrity due to their desire to control the wheelhouse and now we are paying the price.
My opinion.
