It’s positively elitist and irresponsible for ‘stars’ to use their celebrity status and their name recognition to spew THEIR political views on national TV, etc….all with the summary assumption that anyone thinking otherwise was not entitled to object or to even have differing views

Why? Well-I’ll tell y’a.

Here where I work, if I shot off MY mouth about MY views, I would be out of a job so fast it would make my head spin.

I am at a University where EVERYONE is Liberal. In NO way do I enjoy the kind or extent of freedom to say and think whatever I want, the way these ‘stars’ do. I have to be quiet, I have to be responsible, I have to be ‘tolerant’, I have to roll over and play dead!!! My views would not be tolerated! I am certain that I am not unique in this

AND I couldn’t have a Trump yard sign or a bumper sticker without a certainty that my home or car would not be vandalized. Is THAT fair?

Think about this a minute! How much MORE significant is it that Trump won the Presidency in THAT kind of a national political environment? The MSM and all those highly visible, Liberal idiots who so freely threw their weight around (out of all proportion to their actual numbers) thought they had it all squelched and were going to win in a landslide.

Like a crowd of crude Nazi blackshirts, they intimidated everyone into shutting-up about any opposing views … AS IF that meant there WERE NO opposing views. Celebs, the MSM and all the other loudmouth Liberal cretins bullied the opposition unmercifully to con themselves into a false sense of security … and they got what they deserved!

Can you imagine what would have happened if, say, Kelsey Grammer spoke to this same crowd about how great it was that Donald Trump won, that he would make American great again and so forth?
I’m conflicted. The schadenfreude is still enjoyable but I’m getting tired of the whinging & lying about losing, Russians and `tards from these elite “progressive” buttho’s.

Exactly. Many of us literally cannot be whom we are. Including in Meryl’s disgusting industry. I can’t show I’m a Trump supporter without my kids being punished socially. And you can’t drive up to a Hollywood studio or entertainment job with your Trump bumpersticker or even dare share your views. And she and her Beverly Hilton ballroom full of exact likemindeds (with two exceptions, Messrs. Vaughn and Gibson) think THEY are the victims?

To borrow from the great Orwell:

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.” ~1984

I also work in a school district. It is very lonely because I can never speak my mind or give an opinion. I have to listen to teachers spew the most idiotic and racist crud without reacting or refuting. I learned to do this the hard way when I once told an officemate that I was voting for Palin (McCain).

She went around and told administrators, counsellors, teachers, and even students. They were much colder to me from then on an it was tough to get through my day at work. Six years to retirement and freedom from this nonsense! My dream is that Trump is still President when I retire.

My hubby works with photographers and a lifelong business contact who knew he was voting for Trump announced it at a recent conference, several days in a row, to large groups of his associates and potential customers while they were all out to dinner. He had to spend the next hour defending his opinions while he was vilified. He’s been a good friend to the woman who “outed” him and done her many favors over the years. But that meant nothing because she is too full of venom to feel loyalty.

Liberals are the meanest, most small-minded people in the world.
