DeNiro, Springsteen, Streep, Kimmel, Cher, Baldwin, Clooney, Teigen, Legend, Gaga, Wilde, King, Rowling, Colbert, Cyrus, Madonna, James, Stiller, O'Donnell, etc, etc-- you all understand that you are nothing more than glorified court jesters who are paid to entertain us, don't you?

     When you alienate over half of your (former) fan bases by not only disrespecting the President of the United States, but also the millions who voted for him by literally rooting for the country to fail under his leadership-- you realize that you become irrelevant all the more quickly, don't you?

     You don't speak for the average American-- you have zero idea what it's like to be us, to have a regular job, to live from paycheck to paycheck.

     Four words for each and every one of you: shut up and dance for our amusement, because we're not paying you to hear your politics.

     Here is a partial list of “celebrities” who have publically expressed their outrage at President Trump and, using this public expression as their vehicle, have actively rooted for President Trump to fail. This is tantamount to rooting for America to fail, and I cannot sit by passively anymore.

     I value everyone’s First Amendment rights to free speech—it is the cornerstone of being an American. I even value these “celebrity’s” rights to speak their political beliefs, although not while they are actively being paid to entertain me, no more than I can actively speak my opinions at my job.

     That being said, I will now express my First Amendment rights to protest these people by no longer supporting their work moving forward:
