Rock the Vote seemed like early 90s on MTV. Seemed like ever since then I've been aware of celebs being involved.

they have to now. there is way too much shit talking, and political high horsing year-round for them not to start endorsing candidates. and it's great for PR. thankfully, we're starting to reach a point where you get shamed for not knowing shit about politics.

there are more now and they're being more interactive with the candidates and it's easier than ever to express all of this stuff because of social media. stop acting obtuse guys. no shit celebs have been political before, this is a bit nuanced than that.

Theyre not interested in politics. They know that pretending to be interested in it makes them seem deep or whatever to their fans. Im not saying that anyone who is into politics is faking it. Im talking specifically about celebrities who talk about this stuff on social media. And who exactly am I disagreeing with?

Ultimately people voted for a celebrity who uses Twitter to say every thing on his mind as president.

can you elaborate?

if I'm interpreting your vague response correctly, being "fake woke" is basically just a term for "having a delusional and irrational approach to social behavior." if so, that describes a lot of people since the dawn of society and that "term" has little potency.

pretty simple. they don't like how the last couple years have gone. they realize it can go further in that direction. voter apathy is a good reason for things being the way they are. they have fans, and their voice can get some of those fans out of the house. taylor swift did a fuckin tweet and suddenly there were a bunch of registrations.

Disagreeing with me about what? I dont side with any political party. Some people pretend to know what theyre taking about and pander to people to gain more fans. What case do you want from me? Its a fact that this is something that happens. Im not discrediting anyone. The tldr version of what Ive posted in the topic is some people are attention whores. Like what exactly are looking for from me? You can see that yourself by looking around you

That's not a particularly high risk for them.

I'm guessing the there are very few otherwise non-voters who would be convinced by a specific celebrity to vote and also vote in a way the celebrity wouldn't want them to.
