All entertainers are awful politically. We pay them to entertain us, not be politicians.

Entertainment and politics are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they often are quite entangled, and always have been.

I don't need a comedian or a musician telling me their political views. They should tell me about their new movies/shows and music. I don't give a fuck what their view on the current socio-economic political state is or whatever the fuck else. That's not what they're paid for. Unless it's specifically a product about politics, at that point, people know what to expect.

Again, art can, and often is, political.

Moreover, they should do whatever the fuck they want, they do not exist only to please GameZedd01. Unless you watch their movies, you don't pay them either, no one cares how you think they should behave. Being famous is a form of power and if they feel like using this power given to them, well so be it, who's gonna stop them ?
