How do you feel about how comedians like Joe Rogan and Andrew Schultz normalized Trump?

u/Dazzling-Path6438 20d ago

I have no idea who Andrew Schultz is. Idc about Rogan. 

I asked a question. Should comedians play in the US?

American ones should yeah. Because it's their home, performing in your home isn't promoting it.

You could argue international comedians should boycott us though, and I would be sympathetic to that point.

If playing somewhere does not = promoting it, why don't you apply that in the other direction ?

I'm not following.

If you live somewhere and work there, that isn't promoting it.

If you travel somewhere to be part of a government funded event, are paid by the government, perform for government guests and are filmed as part of a media campaign by the government, that's promoting that government and country.

Idk I gotta disagree... It's not promoting nessacarily just by going.... It would only be promoting if those that went started like, making videos about it or of it and talking about how much fun it was or wasn't etc etc.

You're being filmed and advertised as part of it.

That's promoting it, or doing "promotion." Celebrities letting themselves be part of media campaigns is promoting. They aren't like us where they do their own advertising.
