While ninety-nine percent of celebrities, media, and athletes appear to be out of touch with the average American, an environment has been created where holding beliefs that diverge from the “cultural norms” established by the elites meanssacrificing your livelihood and being painted as a monster.
For every prominent figure who champions the voice of the people, it is a step back towards the country we once were. As figures like Rodgers help to bring common sense and critical thinking back into the mainstream, we must hope to see others follow suit, knowing that they are not alone.
