Celebrity magic fails: How A-list support couldn't save election outcome

Super-stars line-up didnt help win votes in recent US election despite massive celebrity backing. Famous faces learned hard way that voters care more about real talk than Hollywood glitz

Five days before voting day a cringe-worthy video hit the web where Robert Downey Jr and other Marvel stars tried to boost Kamala Harrisʼs campaign using their kid-friendly voices and fake-laughs at their own not-so-funny jokes (which made everyone feel super-awkward)

The mega-stars line-up supporting Harris was mind-blowing: Taylor SwiftBeyoncéLady Gaga‚ and many others jumped on-board; however voters werenʼt impressed by the star-power show. On the flip-side Donald Trump got back-up from just a few but more substantial celebs — Elon Musk and Joe Rogan

Muskʼs support wasnt just words: as worlds richest person he put money where his mouth is hoping to get a sweet govt job. Meanwhile Rogan did a three-hour deep-dive with Trump talking about real stuff like trade deals and that time when Trump told Kim Jong-un to “build beach condos instead of nukes“

  • Taylor Swift
  • Beyoncé
  • Lady Gaga
  • Oprah Winfrey
  • Bruce Springsteen
  • Eminem

Democrats made a big no-no treating voters like kids whoʼd follow any celeb saying vote this way — and got schooled hard for it. Meanwhile in Japan teens are having way less romance than before: only 1-in-5 high-school boys had their first kiss compared to half of them back in early 2000s
