Trump is a giant prick. Robert DeNiro is a lesser prick, but an uneducated, stupid, anti-vax prick nonetheless, who should not have the spotlight shined on him any more. Just because the brainless ape happened to say something correct this time, doesn't mean his opinion matters. He's right, but they both suck royally.

He's a fuckin' actor. This is literally how we got into this shit in the first place. Stop listening to fucking celebrities. They are not qualified to speak.

It's sad it is hard to tell if you are referring to Trump or Reagan.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but he's referring to De Niro

Everyone is entitled to express their thoughts and opinions on any subject, regardless of their knowledge on that subject. The problem is that celebrities and athletes opinions carry more weight because they're famous and make a lot of money. And carry even more weight if their opinion aligns with yours.

Even if they were qualified we need to be looking to highly qualified people with documented voting records that shows consistent ideology and a commitment to ethical decision making.
