During the Trump years, we were repeatedly lectured that the deranged followers of a famous person could be triggered to violent action by a celebrity’s social media posts. Have those lectures been forgotten now that Trump is gone? Do the rules not apply to famous people on the left? Of course they don’t. There never seems to be any “accountability” for left-wing celebrities who abuse social media to create negative — even potentially dangerous — consequences for others. But the genie is out of the bottle. Celebrities realize their power is profound and unchecked. They bully businesses (large and small) to align with their misinformed political views, forcing owners to often fold and beg for mercy. Americans are obsessed with celebrities. And now we have an unholy merger of popular culture and politics— it gave us Trump, and is now giving us other celebrities, equally as irresponsible in language, to continue to corrupt our national discourse with unchecked bullying. Lovato and James are far more powerful and influential than the average U.S. senator or representative.
