Piers Morgan? – ‘American people turning against Trump-hating celebrities’ | Daily Mail Online

The stats don’t lie. Within minutes of President Trump’s first State of the Union speech, CBS News revealed their YouGov poll approval ratings on it.

Unsurprisingly, 97% of Republican speech watchers liked it.

More surprisingly, 72% of Independents liked it.

Staggeringly, 43% of Democrats liked it.

Overall, CBS reported that 75% of Americans approved of the speech.

For such a seriously divisive and polarising President, who is currently languishing with just 39% personal approval ratings, these were sensationally good results.

Well let’s get to the celebrities…

Contrast this reaction with the instant and so tediously predictable blind rage spewed by the world’s liberal celebrities on social media before, during and after the address.

From my own unofficial poll – i.e. my own eyes on Twitter – I’d say 99% of them were so furious at the speech they could barely think straight.

‘I was told darkness could not exist in the light,’ tweeted Sarah Silverman. ‘But here it is, for everyone to not see.’

Jim Carrey tweeted an illustration of sharks across a map of America, then another of a weeping Abraham Lincoln and the caption: ‘It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.’

Andy Lassner, producer of the insufferably smug The Ellen Show sneered: ‘Good luck ‘Saturday Night Live’ on trying to make this any more f***ing ridiculous than it already is.’

Jeffrey Wright raged: ‘Can’t even watch this vile, deceitful fraud and his bizarre cult of self-interested sycophants.’

Patton Oswalt seethed: ‘I’m gonna fact check this speech: whatever he just said was bullsh*t.’

Jessica Chastain urged people not to watch the speech at all.

Billy Eichner fumed: ‘The President is a lying, incompetent, racist, misogynist sack of sh*t.’

And George Takei spouted: ‘I’m not watching some frothing orange gorilla read off a teleprompter.’

On and on it went, with these stars and many more assuming America agreed with them.

But it turned out the vast majority of Americans DIDN’T agree with them, which suggests they’re no longer listening to what celebrities say about politics or Donald Trump.

And it only gets better. Celebrities are too stoopid to figure out they are living in an echo chamber. For practical purposes I’ve stopped going to movies, I’m just not interested in supporting their elite, self-indulgent thinking and even worse, preaching. I still watch football, but not nearly as much and I’ll find other things to do if the game isn’t competitive. Much less patience in sticking around to see if the team can make a comeback. In other words, the NFL has much less “stickiness” for me as a viewer. I’m betting I’m not alone.

Added, from the comments…

From commenter Crush…

I’ve generally been one to overlook politics if the product was good. I think only a couple of the musicians I like would be anywhere near my ideological camp, same goes for movie stars, but the product was good so I didn’t care. (I’m also one of those rare birds that actually pays for content rather than just download illegal copies.) But, the constant, hysterical, and often woefully ignorant comments coming from these jokers is getting harder to ignore.

When I watch a movie, I want to be able to suspend my disbelief and submerge myself in the world it creates, but that gets harder ever day when a goober on the screen keeps calling me a Nazi because I am not a full-on leftist.

I think Crush has/had more patience than I did.

From commenter Rogue noting how Twitter puts the Celebs out of touch points of view on full display….

I’m starting to change my mind about Twitter. Getting to see, up close and personal, just how unhinged and unAmerican the Hollywood crowd really is, is disturbing, of course, but it’s important that we see it.

These people are either from another planet, are mentally ill, or are a reflection of the “creative” mindset.

So…Go Twitter!
