Literally every celebrity publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton even though she lost. Even some of the world's biggest pop stars; Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Katy Perry voiced their support for Clinton who we all know, lost tragically against Trump who had no celebrity endorsements.

Does this prove the public are not so easily manipulated as previously thought?
Is star power a real thing?

Because grown ass mature adults don't base their decisions off of celebrities, most of which don't even hold anything past a high school diploma.

So tell me why anyone should care about their opinions? Half of them were paid to endorse Clinton.

Tea

Democrats and republicans just don't tie together three terms in a row anymore. It's nothing off trend tbh.

Clocked by the first post We've given these celebrities way too much 'power' and 'control'.

Neither do people who voted for Trump. Oops.

Oh no. This election showed they are still easily manipulated, just not by popstars.

because Hillary didn't ask Legend Lavigne to campaign for ha

Because people exercising their right to vote don't have Beyonce or any of these entertainers in their minds. Their lives don't revolve around such petty **** a lot of people here seem to be so invested in.

Trump did not even attempt to manipulate. He was blunt and idiotic about everything. The only fraud that occurred was DNC and Hillary cheating for the position Bernie deserved.

That's well known. It's just ironic that Hillary supporters were so cocky and condescending using her opponents' supporters lack of education as a tool of mockery while they put all this dry "celebrity power" up on a pedestal. Hell, it turned out even college-educated whites weren't checking for her.

Maybe instead of getting Jay-Z and Beyonce to tap dance for black and Millenial votes, she should have been addressing serious issues that effect our community. She didn't take our voices seriously, so she shouldn't be suprised the feeling was mutual.

The truth has been spoken.

Thank god Britney never backed her, and only talked about food together.

Trump manipulated people by preying on their fears and anger, which is a very powerful form of manipulation. It's what Hitler did.

It can be said both ways.

The same can be said for Hillary's strategy as well. Only difference it wasn't enough to get people behind her.

All those you mentioned have clearly democratic fanbases.

Taylor was the one that really was needed to change peoples minds but its unsurprising she decided to stay quiet and not split her fanbase.

"White feminism" defined.
