She's from Spokane, grew up in Idaho, lives in Florida, and set up a MAGA-themed birthday party for her mom. It's not like the signs weren't there.

Don't worship celebrities... Especially ones whose main selling point is their beauty not their skill.

Man, no matter where you stand politically, if your birthday party is themed after a politician, you're probably very dumb or just a cunt or both. And i don't even care about birthdays.

Just leave it at "don't worship celebrities". Skill is no indication that they aren't a complete shithead either.

[–] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah ... We have plenty of evidence of great skilled actors being pieces of shit. People need to end this parasocial relationship with celebrities. They are just people we pay to entertain us.

It's a form of social control akin to bread and circuses.

Also, we should keep in mind that their profession - acting like someone other than their actual selves - is damn handy for masking all sorts of awful behavior.

I had no idea who she was until this. I'll probably forget about her next week.
