It’s the 77th birthday of actor James Woods (pictured here). Woods is an ardent Trump supporter, which raises the question: Why are there so few celebrities at the “MAGA end” of the political spectrum?
Though I can only speculate, I would submit the following. The top actors and great performers in the other art forms:
• Need a great deal of sensitivity and nuance in their thought and behavior.
• Travel extensively, bringing them into contact with people from hundreds of different cultures.
• Need to get along well with others, which tends to weed mean and hateful people.
Of there, there are demographics that are highly correlated to support for Trump, among them country music fans, gun dealers, evangelical Christians, trades-people in rural parts of America, and the uber-rich.
Isn’t it astonishing we have people eligible to vote do not even register?
There was a time in U.S. history when the two parties were fairly close to one another politically, and so perhaps in those days, voter apathy could have been excused.
But now we have one entire party idolizing a criminal sociopath, while spreading torrents of disinformation.
At left is a photo of Steve Allen, an American personality whose television career spanned several decades in 20th Century. Young people who missed him may want to check him out on YouTube via the link above.
His blend of wit and intelligence is a reminder of who and what this country was–up until quite recently.
Try to imagine how Donald Trump would have been regarded in era of this type of quality education and sophistication. Think of how the American people would respond to the idea that liberals are leading our country into communism.
Sometimes my eyes well up with tears when I think about our nation’s devolution into hatred and ignorance.
At left is one of the dozens of reasons that we need to get rid of Trump immediately.
