I am really getting tired of “celebrities” acting like they are superior to the American public (who, by-the-way, spend their hard earned money to support these “celebrities) and at the modern day media, primarily the print media, supporting these views and reporting them as though they are fact.
The headline above was taken verbatim from the online version of USA Today. In the accompanying article, the following was stated:
“…The actor spoke to Variety from the Torino Film Festival…”
“…Baldwin touched on the 2024 presidential election and argued movies are more important now than ever as a way of informing viewers about what’s happening around the world…”.
“…”There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans,” he said. “Americans are very uninformed about reality…”
If Baldwin truly feels this way about Americans who are not part of the elite, like him, who are so enlightened, then perhaps he, too, should pack his bags and join other elites in leaving the county, never to return.
Statements like this, and the media printing them, are a clear example of the elitism of the Democratic Party that has been, at least in part, blamed for their failures in the recent elections. It is difficult for the average, working American to feel connected to someone who is paid millions of dollars to read lines written by others, who participates in sports that, in reality, are no longer enjoyable, or who has never worked at in a job at the hourly level. When will they accept that they are paid to entertain, not insult?
If this is a representation of how the Democratic Party, these “celebrities”, and the media view the American people then perhaps they no longer have a place in our country. Disagreement is fine but insult and superiority are not.
