The great irony of Trump's victory is that he was actually an anti-celeb. After years of President Obama traipsing around studios in L.A. to read mean tweets, after nearly a decade of listening to the sophomoric, unearned moral superiority of actors and actresses who earn millions for reading lines other people write, after watching 9/11 Truth-O-Rapper go to the White House, Americans said no to celebrity culture by electing a celebrity. Because that s what we do. Americans voted for a woman whose closest contact with flyover country came during one highly choreographed stop at Chipotle. Meanwhile, celebrities who didn t grow up in tremendous wealth hobnobbed with the elites. Meanwhile others who didn't grow up with tremendous wealth taped a fight song rendition for the Democratic National Convention. So did Bruce Springsteen. And all of them did so for a man who, unlike her, was not a flyover middle-class voter in Wisconsin by virtue of living in a penthouse covered in gold leaf and playing the role of an everyman on television and it worked. Ben Shapiro explains why Americans may never get over their obsession with celebrity, but they sure don t want to hear those celebrities talk down to them. And rural Americans were more than willing to punish Hollywood for that grave sin if Democrats hope to win down the road, they're going to have to do better than trotting out the scornful glitterati who trot out the sanctimonious liberal elite trotters. .
