Reality of Infantility
After the eight years of B-acting in the Oval Office by the third-rate, Hollywood blacklisting FBI tout, one might have thought future generations would develop an immunity to celebrity worship in politics. Sadly, thirty years later, political endorsements and social pronouncements by Hollywood stars and Madison Avenue starlets are still gauges of mass consciousness and political illiteracy.
Unfortunately, the culprits of social media and Hollywood hype combined have created a vast wallowing in the banal, where vapid luminaries such as Naomi Klein pose for Vogue photo-ops alongside insipid pretty boys such as Leonardo DiCaprio. Why we should care what they think about political challenges, let alone do about them, is beyond me, but that is the reality of infantility.
