Celebrity endorsements or protests of political figures or views exploded during the Viet Nam Conflict. Nothing like what is going on the 2020 presidential race, but something totally unseen in the US before then.
Before WWII there was the Isolationist Movement with Charles Lindbergh as the figurehead; but after Pearl Harbor, the movement disappeared. Even Lindbergh volunteered to fight for the Allies. Turned down by the Army Air Corps, he was hired as a civilian advisor. Countless celebrities expressed their views by action, entering the War via draft or volunteering.

Embracing The Unexpected: How My Dream Job Found ME.

Very well written view of what is happening in Florida concerning Covid-19 and the madness surrounding the push to fully open the state. It did not need to be this way.

It wasn’t that long ago folks that our Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis was bragging how everything that the experts had predicted for Florida didn’t happen. We were not New York or any of the other states battered by the Corona virus.
He was all over television with the “I’m not criticizing those other states but the experts were wrong,” Yadayadayada.
