‘Celebrity Endorsements’ and the Death of Democracy

Now that the dust of the 2024 presidential election is settling, I’d like to take a moment to discuss what I found to be one of its most distasteful aspects — one that, when closely analyzed, suggests that the “democracy” we’re all supposed to be trying to “preserve” has apparently already gone the way of the dodo.

I’m referring to so-called “celebrity endorsements.”...

Remember when we actually admired celebrities?
Bwahahahaha! Oh, forgot, Democrats still do.

“celebrity endorsements.”...

Childish star-struck voters LIVE seeing celebrities schmoozing with political candidates!

What is truly preposterous is that Harris threw 1 billion dollars at her Hollywood friends who...WAIT FOR IT... were ALREADY on the record supporting her

She wanted to impress them with massive media attention and to throw money around like confetti. THAT'S not campaigning!! But it only demonstrated that Harris has bought into the concept that Hollywood 'aristocracy' is acceptable and preferable to civil servants who selflessly serve the country

I seems that in addition to defeating Harris ...Trump has demonstrated that the US Presidency is not for sale to the highest bidder or to the candidate who spends the most time partying with celebrities

Voters need to recall that ever since we showed King George III what he could do with his colonial aspirations in North America, we have had no use for hereditary, dynastic moarchies who treat us like their social and political inferiors!

Remember when actresses were beautiful?

“The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously – after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.”

That period ended on November 5, 2024.

Great post and analysis. Thanks

The funniest thing about this race was discovering that Kamala's campaign went into debt paying these super rich starts to show up at her rallies.

Stupid me assumed Beyoncé and Oprah showed up for free because they genuinely wanted her to win.

Imagine learning Trump had to cut a check to Kid Rock or Hulk Hogan?

The Dumbass ‘Crats thought you could replace political rallies about the issues with Super Bowl Half-Time shows. Just entertain your idiot voters with liberal elitists putting on big song and dance shows. That crap didn’t work. Even the leftwing Blue Banana Boater Voters didn’t fall for it.
