I sometimes think that I'm one of the few who don't give two shiny ones for any celebrities political opinions.

I've seen so many comments made - James Patterson was mauled for his He Said, She Said book with loads of I'm never buying your books again comments. Springsteen had always been upfront about his views and to be honest he took a step back for a lot of this election. I listen to music because i like it, i watch TV/films because i like them. I never sit down and think, ah this guy doesn't like the same party I like...not watching anymore. Their views have been the same for as long as they have been entertaining and many others probably have the same opinions...just vocalising them really doesn't change anything for me.

For me, world politics is a mess and if the human race is going to destroy itself, somewhere at the eye of the storm is going to be politics and religion. But when the history books are done and this generation has gone, what will be clear to see is that as the times change, so do the standards and moral obligations that people are happy to overlook. Trump and all his proven faults is a President of the time. Look at many of the role models being idolised, and all their faults be it assault, gun crime, known drug addictions. Look at the sheer number of people willing to go out and do harm to others for no reason other than they can. The people who just don't care what happens to anyone they don't directly identify with. The people in power who believe their are the one who should be listened to above all others.

Welcome to the modern world and all that seems to mean.
