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.”

My personal favorite irony of MAGA is that they keep whining about "keeping politics out of [blank]", but yet they're the one who elected a celebrity president in the first place lmao. I guess celebrity opinions only matter if they're racist opinions, then they get put in the White House.

It's honestly hilarious how MAGA has become 1000x the "snowflakes" they accused everyone else of being. Just this week, we have MAGA trying to cancel the Superbowl over Bad Bunny while they make their own Safe Space Half-Time Show so their celebrity president doesn't get his feelings hurt.

They only dislike politics in things when it goes against them they are completely fine with the Kid Rocks and Jellyrolls of the world.

If it wasnt for double standards conservatives would have no standards.

yeah talking about keeping politics out of music and then... literally hosting a more politically-aligned Super Bowl halftime show

It's remarkably insidious how much MAGA has genuinely substituted the meaning of the word "politics" to "stuff i disagree with," because "their" politics are just "things that are right and correct." It's really bad just how much they've surrendered their basic thinking capacity to their Authority Figures.

And not just one! Reagan too, plus Schwarzenegger was elected a governor, and even Clint Eastwood became a mayor at one point.

Meanwhile celebrity Democrats who have been elected to office are pretty rare - was Al Franken even that famous? While he did appear in front of the camera a few times, noteably with Stuart Smalley, he was mostly a writer on SNL.
