Those that know, know. Unfortunately we have way too many people that seem to be aggressively ignorant.
And they're proud of it.
Some are ignorant. Some embrace the totalitarian rule. Yet others are so disenfranchised and distanced from power that it's a victory to be part of tearing it down. They'll never be part of the club so whatever hurts some of them is good enough.
That's my armchair analysis.
I would say willfully ignorant, but your point stands. When you purposefully stuff yourself into an echo chamber GOP voters are the result.
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.
We've got Ja rule on the phone, let's see what Ja's thoughts are...
It's sad it is hard to tell if you are referring to Trump or Reagan.
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.
I get that this post isn't reaching the intended audience here. But y'all gotta remember that the people who vote for Trump listen to celebrities like DeNiro. I'll accept fighting one celebrity with another in this particular instance. Especially when he's willing to use strong language like "evil" "no morals" "pretends to be a tough guy" and equates Trump's handling of the pandemic to the way an abusive father handles a household.
BLISTERING
SLAMMED
Robert De Niro is still salty about Trump's comments from his presidency:
