Trump and mildew fight for support? It's a lot of fun!
At present, the first-class competition in the United States actually involves the endorsement of a female star, which makes people feel quite absurd. This can't help but lead us to think about the role and influence of entertainment stars in politics. Why does this happen so often, and what is the reason behind it? This question deserves our in-depth understanding. How should we view the involvement of entertainment stars in politics, and whether their support can really influence the outcome of elections?
First, let's focus on the latest piece of news. Trump reportedly said during the campaign that he was more popular than popular female singer Taylor Swift and believed she would support the incumbent Biden. This remark makes one lament the unpredictability of the election campaign. Taylor Swift, a social ** with 2The star, who has 7.9 billion fans, has become a focus of the campaign. What's even more interesting is that last September, Taylor called on fans on social media to register to vote, and within a day, 35,000 voters in the United States responded. This has raised questions about the role of entertainment stars in politics.
This is not the first time Taylor has been the focus of controversy in the campaign. In the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, Taylor supported the election of two Tennessee MZ Party members, causing displeasure among Trump, who publicly expressed his preference for Taylor, and even said that "Taylor doesn't know anything, and I'm very disappointed in her." And in the United States in 2020, Taylor once again stood up to criticize Trump, accusing him of trying to "blatantly deceive and endanger the lives of millions of Americans", which made Trump's team fully prepared for Taylor's possible statement.
This series of events can't help but make us wonder, why does the support of an entertainment star cause such a big response? What is the reason behind this? First of all, the social influence of entertainment stars cannot be ignored. Taylor has hundreds of millions of followers on Instagram, and her words can attract widespread attention in a short period of time, and even affect voters' registration and voting behavior. This direct and rapid influence has made politicians sensitive to the attitude of entertainment stars.
Second, the speech and behavior of entertainment stars are often highly concerned by the public. Mr. Trump's criticism of Mr. Taylor also reflects the skepticism of some voters about the role of entertainment stars in politics. There is even a "conspiracy theory" among Trump's supporters, accusing Taylor of being Biden's "secret", perhaps out of distrust of the entertainment star's political leanings, or as an emotional response to the campaign.
However, we also can't simply dismiss the involvement of entertainment stars as hype or boring entertainment news. Entertainment stars are actually exercising their sense of social responsibility by speaking out on their social platforms and calling on voters to act. Such active civic engagement should be encouraged. After all, entertainment stars are also citizens of the country, and it is normal for them to care about and express their concern about the country's political situation.
On the whole, the participation of entertainment stars in politics has undoubtedly triggered social thinking about the boundaries of public space. We should see that entertainment stars have the right to express their political views, but at the same time, they also need to be rational and objective in the process. Politics is not entertainment, and it should not be an arena between stars. In this era of intertwined entertainment and politics, we need to think more deeply about how to rationally view the voice of entertainment stars in politics, and how to maintain a rational discussion environment in public space. This may be a question worth thinking about, not just a farce about celebrity support.
