I find it genuinely concerning that Americans are more frequently looking towards entertainers for civic leadership.
Allowing democracy to fully become a popularity contest is an overlooked, and IMO underweighted contributor to the problems they're facing.
Well, yea, but this is a human thing. Not an American thing. The president of Ukraine is an entertainer should we go through the rest of the world?
I'm not looking for any particular background, but rather the type of person someone is. The fact celebrities are inevitably more well-known than obscure local politicians probably has much more to do with the effect you're probably conflating than anyone deliberately looking just for celebrities to lead.
The fact that you obviously didn't read, or at least failed to comprehend, the point they were trying to make really concerns me...
Awwww

This entire admin has been staffed by media personalities. It certainly is a problem but I don't see any way to change it
We've been doing this since television was invented
FDR would never get elected today. They'd talk about nothing but his disability.
