Help me out. You seem to think her endorsement means something. Who is she and what does she do?
I think she works in an industry that we are not allowed to mention or spell. In particular she has a page on the web site for independent operators that is initialed "O F".
Well that explains why Trump might be interested in her endorsement but I’m still trying to figure out why her speech could be so important to our conservative Christian friends here at CF. Hoping one of them can better explain her endorsement and what it means to them.
The Right has a long history of indiscriminately fawning over any celebrity who'd give them the time of day. It's particularly bad in religious circles when folks convert to Christianity.
Oh, there's plenty of celebrity worship on the left, too, but IME, it's not quite the same. The Left likes celebrity, and scales their fawning with the amount of fame a person enjoys. On the Right, it's more like they like having somebody pay attention to them, and once somebody starts making gestures towards conservatism, they'll be automatically accepted into the fold and promoted as a legitimizing force regardless of how significant or famous they are. For example, nobody on the Right would give two hoots about the guitarist from Korn, but once he converted to Christianity, he became something of a favorite son.
What is your opinion about Van Jones' take on Amber Rose's endorsement of Donald Trump?
I don't generally put a lot of stock in what Van Jones says. She'd hardly be the first black celebrity to get on the MAGA train - he was hanging out with Kanye for a while.
I think it’s like the scene where Dr. Evil tries to prove he’s hip by doing the Macarena to impress his son despite the fact that it had been a solid 4-5 years since anybody cared about anything having to do with the Macarena.
I chose to post it because her speech resonated with me. My preconceived ideas on the press, politicians, and government bureaucrats were thrown out the window once I actually did some research and had some serious interactions. The same kind of preconceptions she had. It can be very difficult to tell who works for themselves or who works for the people. My first impressions of Trump were poor, I thought he was too crude and too much of a braggart to make a good president so I voted for someone else. But I didn't realize just how much of an outsider he was and how willing he was to take on the establishment. We desperately need a person to take on government corruption.
I sense you don’t see the irony of this comment.
