Yeah, she gets a little overboard at times, but it all comes from the right place in her heart. She kept a fairly low profile (comparatively speaking) over the past couple decades, but she's always been doing good things. I don't know that I'd want her in any position that required significant diplomacy and tact, but I'd definitely back her if she ever wanted to do anything political.

    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.

    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...
