Celebrities have played a role in politics before. When Hillary was running for President, her campaign went out of its way to show Hillary on stage with Beyonce and Jay Z, and show support from others like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and such. They were trying to appeal to younger people. The reality is that most people who vote don't care about the political views that these pop artists hold. It's not really their area of expertise or competence, and it comes off as pretty shallow promotion for the politician. So it's easy to poke fun of. But for media to attack Jay Z as the "negro who doesn't read" because he met with Trump and aired his views, is a pretty low blow. It shows the character of the media and how hell bent they are to attack literally everything Trump says and does on a daily basis.
The real issue in America is that there is a rift, a real conflict of opinion between conservatives and liberals, that shows up on a number of real issues. Both sides are grandstanding and playing politics for all they're worth. What certain liberals and progressives see as "progress," including things like liberal policies on immigration, socialized medicine, same-sex marriage, legalizing marijuana, government intervention and regulations in business, loose trade agreements, etc., the conservatives see as "decadence," the decay of traditional values and the compromise of American sovereignty to a globalist, even socialist, agenda.
The division among people in the liberal and conservative camps is more stark than I think I've ever seen before.
