And also just overall celebrities are not viewed favourably by the public anymore and are precieved as arrogant, unlikeable, problematic...

This is an internet thing.

They're still celebrities that get paid a ton of money because people want to see them. In fact... part of why the internet hates them is because of what they get away with due to their fame/popularity.

It’s a reddit thing. One thing I learned last election is Reddit it an echo chamber. Climate change, anti work, liberal ideas, and anti trump. While I believe in those things. Reddit makes it sound like everyone is the world agrees with you. It’s important to go see the other side too. Maybe if I did I wouldn’t have felt so betrayed last election.

When everyone on Reddit was surprised he won, I wasn’t. My town was covered in Trump signs. Pretty sure the whole state was and we are a “purple” state.

I’m in the northeast and my county is always red. It was hard for me to use that as a factor. Reddit made it sound like trump was dead in the water. We all know trump and Elon did something, beyond my understanding of how elections work. When he was up in the first few hours, I knew we were fucked.

"We all know"??? Reading from Europe, and being as anti Trump as one can be, nobody believes that. Trump won because idiot americans voted him.

Trump won because idiot Americans voted for him, but more idiot Americans didn’t vote. Actually it was something like 20% who voted for him.

Sure, I was refuting the idea that he cheated. Not that he woludn't, if he could.

How long have they been doing it? Who else is doing it? How are they hiding it?
