      You may not be interested in what any “celebrity” chooses politically, but there are huge groups of (stupid) people who let the people they like/follow dictate their choices.

      As much as the Idiocracy of this is apparent, I don’t mind because it may get more people actually involved.

      On the other hand, I very much appreciate knowing which celebrities support an administration that poses a threat to my family. I will not vote for someone based on a celebrity endorsement, but the celebrity may gain or lose my business over it.

      I really liked Kid Rock in his early days. The music was catchy, and it had the right mix of redneck, rock, and rap to make this country boy happy. Now I won’t listen to him because he chose to openly throw in with politicians who do not care if their policies and rhetoric kill my friends or kids.

        Politics is a combination of indoctrination and team sport. If not for indoctrination, the conservative team would have very few players.
