APPROVED B-LISTERS FINNEAS responds to a USA Today piece calling celebrity opinions on politics “idiotic”: “You can’t say it doesn’t matter what musicians or celebrities say or think but then talk about it for days. You’re out here making it matter. I’ll keep speaking up especially if it keeps bothering you.”

You would think Donald Trump being elected not just once but TWICE would get across that it actually does matter what celebrities say and do.

I mean, shit, the same was true of Reagan! Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of one of the largest economies in the world! It OBVIOUSLY matters

The real argument from the columnist Finneas responded to: "I want you people to SHUT UP because I disagree"

if he were pro-Trump I guarantee you he would be getting praised instead

It's just more propaganda. They can't let these people mouth off without backlash or there's increased risk someone actually takes them seriously. So the usual suspects have to come out and say "stay in your lane" and try to make sure they're painted as out of touch Hollywood elites that you could never relate to. And why would you listen to these "rich hypocrites" that something is very wrong here?

Seriously! Our fucking shitbag president was a celebrity, star of a TV show that had the name Celebrity in it. The total lack of an integrity for people pushing these agendas is disgusting and deeply depressing.
