Uniformed and Out of Touch

 

Since the election has come to an end, we have had to listen to the insistent complaining from celebrities and professional athletes about the outcome. Those that voted for Donald Trump have been called uniformed, uneducated and out of touch with reality. The question is, are they?

Who is really uninformed? Defined it means "not having or showing awareness or understanding of the facts." To be uninformed requires one to be in a position to be uninformed. Who can afford to not have or show awareness? Well, my answer would be those who have the money to do so. Those who own three houses and travel the world ... Those who are not impacted by the price of gas or eggs. Frankly, it is rich for a celebrity or a professional athlete to lecture the rest of the country on being out of touch when they are the epitome of being out of touch. 

I still can't figure out why professional athletes and celebrities advocate for socialism, which pushes everyone to share everything, leaving little to no personal disposable income. Professional sports and entertainment depend only on disposable income. Both industries provide no meaningful product that contributes to society. Professional sports and Hollywood does nothing but entertain. People escape the hard reality they are in when they engage these industries, and yet, these people lecture and ridicule those who don't see the world as they see it. Each industry does nothing more than entertain, and each is dependent on the population embracing the entertainment they provide and still they push this leftist socialist agenda. Why are they trying to kill the golden goose? 

For me, most of the evidence points to professional athletes and celebrities being the ones that are uninformed and out of touch. It is the Alec Baldwins of the world who don't understand that their money comes from people who embrace their movies enough to spend the money they earned on them, but maybe, Mr. Baldwin doesn't care anymore. I don't know, but I do know sitting in an expensive house surrounded by money calling those who live daily in the struggle the last four years has created is out of touch and uninformed.
