The rise to power of those who are meant to entertain us - actors and actresses - adept at the art of pulling at our emotions, through subterfuge and the adoption of a persona meant to achieve their own ends.
I couldn't agree with you more.
I would stipulate, however, that this ought not be simply a dig at Trump (I'm not inferring that this is what you intended ... I'm riffing). Republicans and Democrats alike need to stop "giving a damn about what celebrities think." Since when was Hollywood notorious for it's brilliance or insight about anything?
I have nothing against actors or musicians becoming politicians, but let them first demonstrate their prowess as Congressmen, Congresswomen, Senators or Governors before taking a shot at the White House.
The country, and the world, requires serious people thinking, and doing, serious things. Politics is not supposed to be entertaining. It's supposed to be about doing those things which make the country more functional ... almost all of which are tedious and boring.
If there is one thing I could wish upon American politics, it would be the banning of monetary contributions to campaigns in excess of $2,500 per person. And, contributions from any source, could only come from human beings. No PAC's or Super-PAC's on either side. No contributions from Fortune 500 companies and no contributions from unions. I would happily support giving both sides $1 billion each of taxpayer money, to run their campaigns, so as to negate the need for politicians to grovel for gratuities.
Money, on both sides, is clearly a corrupting influence.
