How about we stop celebrity worshipping in our politics? Reagan was an actor.
Dolly Parton is not just a random celebrity. She is a legitimate force for good.

Absolutely and fully agreed. She's a phenomenal person and one of the few figures I'm proud of as an American.
That still doesn't mean I'd consider her for president. The role, I'd say, asks for entirely different skill sets.
Maybe, but based on the two options we're going to have in 2024, I'd take Dolly over either of them.
By that standard, Mr. Beast should run for president in 10 years.
Edit: Looked into it, that's already his plan. https://www.insider.com/mrbeast-president-mid-40s-2022-9
Argh
Can’t wait for the 2036 matchup of Mr Beast vs. Logan Paul!
If it comes down to that, I think Beast would be a no brainer.
The literal no brain would be JAKE PAUL YEAh he can punch people, but yeah.
I support his plan to enter all voters into a random giveaway.
Sounds a lot like sortition to me.
I also recently learned that Mr. Beast has shady connections that lead back to Russian oligarchs and South African real estate money from the apartheid days
lol okay
I mean, I saw it in a video and did absolutely zero fact checking myself, so your response and the down votes for me aren't exactly unwarranted
My children have a stack of free age-approptiate books, and I will whack you with them until you read more about the good that Dolly has done.
Don't worry, kids books are light.
Depends on the kids' book...
I do not recognize that title as anything my children have received from Dolly's Imagination Library.
I thought you meant kids' books in general.
It's unavoidable: politics is a popularity contest, and celebrities are popular...
Also being an actor doesn't automatically mean they're not fit for the role, Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, was an actor.
He was an actor with a degree in politics. It's not like he didn't at least have some knowledge of what was involved.
She’s a saint.
