Why is celebrities becoming politicians a thing in the USA?
What's next? This guy will become president?
Well they enter the game with brand recognition and usually a large group of fans
Not to mention being actors, they have the charisma to build a base of people who just like them

> Ronald Reagan?! The actor?! Ha! Then who's Vice President? Jerry Lewis?
I think you mean its a thing everywhere, Pacquiao is a Filipino Congressmen even though he has the mental capacity of a elementary student from being punch drunk all the time

I know you're just a faggot that only knows him from memes, but having a wrestler as a politician wouldn't be new. Jesse Venture did it first, and Linda McMahon (Vince's wife) ran for senator, albeit unsuccessfully

Honestly, the US does such a shitty job at running technocrats into office, professional politicians are probably the worst kind of candidate.
At least when you elect some cowboy TV actor or a businessman or professional wrestler, you know they are not entrenched in a corrupt good-ol-boy network like a real politician would be.

> A former TV comedian with no experience in government has won the run-off vote in Guatemala's presidential election. Jimmy Morales got more than double the votes of ex-first lady Sandra Torres, who is seen by many as part of the country's unpopular political elite.
Welcome to democracy, anon.
You too can become a politician, given enough money and time.

I'd like to imagine that Jon Cena runs for president, wins and is being introduced into office when out of nowhere Stone Cold shows up, gives him and everyone in the room a stunner and then proceeds to run the USA for 10 years straight.

I'd vote for Randy Orton but fuck Cena.
>>56784607
he would do a way better job than obongo

celebrities are revered as gods in Burgerland because they suceeded on a world where capitalism is shoved down their throats since birth.
Every murican wants to be successful and famous like them, so they elect what they indentify with and wish to represent in international standing.

Because US people have integrated the fact that their politics are an absolute comedy with no hope, a total PR thing, advertisment to promote rich people interests. So why having a boring 70 year old fuck when you can have a handsome black man of a TV star.
This world is a show. US are just leading it.
What's with all the literally who's in wrestling right now?

Holy shit I did not know this. Just googled it. What the flying fuck is wrong with these people?

I think Klitschko gets a pass because there are actual causes in the Ukraine that would cause one to run for office.
Also i believe he's the mayor of Kiev.

Thank God my country requires at least years of experience as a CEO in a large company or extensive political career. What the hell would an actor know about running a country?
>>56784607
>What's next? This guy will become president?
Still a better choice than any of the faggots running this election.
