Banking on the following comments from the right, which they use for every artist’s endorsement:
They’re a has been washed up.
Who even is this person?
Guess I can cross him/her off my list
I don’t even know who this person is, what does it matter?
This won’t move the needle at all
They should keep their options out of politics
When is the last time this person has been relevant?
Of course they would, all actors/actresses/artists are blue
Well, I’m not sure cameo appearances qualify “movie star.”
And maybe they wouldn’t be that insightful. Either way, it’s a silly notion. We certainly should put weight in the political opinions of pop stars. Queen Latifahs endorsement of Biden is what swayed my vote.
Edit: So… Everyone agrees pop stars political opinions are important? It’s ok that Queen Latifahs swayed my vote?

Good luck calling Taylor Swift a has-been.
I’m pretty sure they’ll try. It’s not like being factually correct is a core part of their brand.
Anyway the point isn’t how the fascs will react but that it’ll energize some voters.
I really don’t think Trump is gaining any voters at this point.
Hopefully not.
I bet they’d also say if a pop star is influential on your political opinions, you’re a damn moron.
The party who elected a movie star? Surely they’d never be so hypocritical.
Twice… if you count Trump as a movie star.
Reagan is somehow remembered for lowering taxes even, when taxes were actually higher for most people* when he left office.
(*It was a little lower for corporations and the wealthy.)
