New polling indicates that most Americans don’t care what celebrities think about politics.
For years now, the left has counted on the approval of liberals in Hollywood to speak for them. We saw this ramped up significantly during the Obama years. Barack Obama loved to share the spotlight with famous actors, musicians and other celebs. They, in turn, would fall all over themselves for any chance to spend time at the Obama White House and be photographed with him.
Democrats tried to replicate this in the Kamala Harris campaign with people like Oprah Winfrey, Lizzo, and a variety of Hollywood players. It failed miserably, mostly because voters knew that these folks were not suffering like average Americans under the policies of the left.
Now the American people are making it clear for the Hollywood left. no one cares what they think.

Poll: Overwhelming Majority of Americans Don’t Care About Celebrities’ Political Opinions
Americans — especially Republicans — do not want to hear political opinions from athletes and celebrities, an AP-NORC poll reveals.
The survey, a collaboration between the Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s nonpartisan National Opinion Research Center, was published Thursday.
Just under 40 percent of Democrat respondents said they approved of celebrities sharing their views on politics, while just 11 percent of Republicans and 12 percent of independents said the same.
The answers regarding professional athletes were about the same — 39 percent of Democrats approve of them piping up, but just 16 percent of Republicans and 15 percent of independents were in agreement.
You may recall this cringeworthy moment after the 2016 election, when a bunch of Hollywood liberals begged electors in the Electoral College not to confirm Trump as president.

These people now call us a threat to “our democracy”

We probably won’t see anything like that again in the near future, thankfully.
