Celebrities in America can always be counted on to support culturally leftist causes. It’s embedded in their DNA.
Earlier this week, pop star Lady Gaga used the Washington, D.C. stop on her Chromatica Ball tour to sound off on abortion and homosexual marriage. She was particularly incensed by the Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe v. Wade.
“I would like to dedicate this song to every woman in America, to every woman who now has to worry about her body if she gets pregnant,” the pop star said to the crowd. “I pray that this country will speak up, that we will stick together, and that we will not stop until it’s right!”
Before performing her hit single “Born This Way”, she sent out a firm warning to Supreme Court justices.
“They better not try to mess with gay marriage in this country,” she declared as the crowd cheered and applauded.
None of Lady Gaga’s antics should come as a surprise. The average celebrity is well to the cultural Left of everyday Americans. Celebrity circles are a blob of undifferentiated leftism at the end of the day.
Sadly, such trends can be seen in other circles of America’s elites who have largely embraced cultural leftist tastes and preferences. The harsh reality is that elites — entrepreneurs, high-profile academics, entertainers, journalists, etc. — ultimately set the culture and help cement the ruling class’s agenda.
For those of us who want saner politics, it’s not enough to just be focused on politics. A division of labor is needed where people play to their talents, with some talented individuals rising to the top in their respective fields.
These types of people should be encouraged as much as possible to become elite at their craft. Mediocrity does not change society, To effect societal change, a competing elite is needed to get rid of the present ruling class. The more entertainers, successful businessmen, athletes, artists, journalists, and other respected professionals the Right has on its side, the easier it will be to upend the present order.
