Alright, rubbing shoulders with wutang is cool and all, but slipping away to plot with killer mike is what got me pumped. Anyone else remember how much work he put in promoting Bernie? Killer Mike puts in actual work at the political level way more than most rappers. I hope we get to see some of that again here!

Honestly, our timeline is clown-town enough at this point that this would 100% be a marked improvement and possibly plausible. Like yeah they'd make mistakes but I bet they'd be actually trying, if suddenly thrust into leadership of a once-powerful nation lol.

If more celebs would do this they could wage a good cultural campaign against the Trump administration. A lot of celebs came from working class and/or are closer to working class than Trump is, especially now that he is grifting and looting using the power of the federal government.
It's unfortunate but working class icons are often very susceptible to money and less educated opinions.
I hate this comment. Rich people are all incentivised to maintain their wealth. Someone being working class doesn't make them dumber or more susceptible to money.
I didn't say they were more susceptible, I said they weren't immune to it.
Also, education costing more money than a person makes in a year doing full time employment does act as a bit of a barrier for entry.
E.G. Hulk Hogan, Kanye West, Chuck Norris, Sexyy Red, etc.
Why specify working class as opposed to just wealthy people then? And then why double down on the sentiment in this comment?
Dan made the assertion that celebrities would be more opposed to Trump due to their working class roots. That's simply a false statement, assholes exist across the entire spectrum. Check out this Pew Research chart:
more than a third of all the poorest Americans who were polled support Trump, middle income levels supported Trump more than those who didnt, and the upper income brackets actually leaned against Trump more than middle, upper middle, and lower-middle. Furthermore:
Trump's hold over rural areas, often areas with the most poor and least educated, has only grown over time.
Being "working class" doesn't magically make you oppose Trump or vice versa.
I'm not calling you out for starting that rich people who were working class are trump supporters. I'm calling you out for you insisting that being working class makes you less educated and especially susceptible to wealth.
