Celebrity politicians are a sign of our political decline

From Cas Mudde in The Guardian.....

Oprah Winfrey isn’t the first celebrity to be floated as a presidential candidate. And she won’t be the last.

1. HUGE decline

2. Let's have a message rather than a celebrity

Couldn't agree with this article more.

3. So, maybe we should stop talking about them.

Especially since Republican and antiDemocrat-left voters are the biggest market for a big disinformation campaign about the celebrity-crazy Democratic Party, liberal silliness, Hollywood, you know. "Celebrities" are mostly snubbing today's Republicans, so it'll be very easy to smear us with them.

And, of course, our "decline." An destructive illusion to replace the reality of Republican decline.

24/7/365 media are pushing a great deal of this frivolity, but only because they have nothing else to talk about.

Don't be a useful fool.

4. Vaclav Havel did well in Czechoslovakia

He was a playwright previously to becoming President.

This is just a simplistic device to catch eyeballs. It doesn't matter what walk of life you inhabit. Anyone can rise to power.
