A new poll suggests that at least 46 percent of Americans would support Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson running for president, while 63 percent believe that Hollywood stars could "make good politicians."
i don't think this poll is as bad as it looks. i think people realize washington is a corrupt cesspool, and they're desperate to find a candidate who can't be bought.
that's also probably part of the reason why a lot of folks voted for trump. they thought he was rich and brash and would steamroll the suits in washington. they don't know what that world is like.
i sympathize. a lot of folks are basically apolitical, or at best they have some talking points from fox or cnn and some vague tribal leaning. and like, the fact that folks are looking for candidates outside establishment politics is both a good and bad omen. like, they might be more receptive to fascism now than in the past, but they're probably also more receptive to socialism now than in the past.
