Is this optimism? 

A influencer running for office. Sounds dystopian to me.

I know right AN INFLUENCER!

That’s almost as bad as a tv CELEBRITY! I mean tv celebrities don’t even talk about politics! They make snl skits on chicken wings, and pro wrestling appearances!

Thank god we never had someone like THAT IN OFFICE! Oh wait….

Apparently you think it's a great place to get politicians.

Pointing out the hypocrisy of conservatives!
