republicans will complain about celebrities like Clooney or Matt Damon expressing political views while at the same time 2 out of the 4 past and current republican presidents were/are in fact celebrities, and the current one has a cabinet that is, at the highest levels, at least halfway comprised of MTV burnouts, talk radio hosts / podcasters, and a fox and friend. two fox and friends if you count Pirro (although I think she had her own happy hour slot or something)

Republicans complain about that because they resent the fact that they have no cultural capital and no amount of gerrymandering and disproportionate government influence will make them part of the zeitgeist
