With all the adulation celebrities receive, they think their political opinion matters a lot. It doesn’t. Nobody really cares what they believe or think, they care about their songs, their movies, or their dance moves.
In fact, many celebs are so out of touch with the real world that they even think threatening to leave America if a certain person got elected would mean they would leave and live in Canada or Australia. What a joke. They actually think that they are that important that people will vote the way they want people to vote to keep the celeb in their home country. Even worse, when that certain person won the election, did any of them leave? No.
I’m not the biggest fan of Gervais mainly because of his Atheist rants that can be quite misleading, but I do like the fact that he is a man of conviction and speaks out. In this case, I think he hit the nail right on the head.
