Nicole Kidman Believes in Democracy

This is a pretty basic concept and one that's not controversial at all.

‘I Believe in Democracy’: Nicole Kidman Clarifies Remarks About Getting Behind Trump
Nicole Kidman yesterday clarified the remarks she made earlier this week about Donald Trump and the need for people to support him now. 
Kidman said in an interview that now that Trump has won, “We, as a country, need to support whoever is the president. That is what the country is based on. And however that happened, it happened, and let’s go.”~snip~
The "backlash" she's getting is over the top.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion,whether you agree or not,but for some reason people seem to give more weight to the opinions of celebrities. For the life of me I can't figure out why.
Slavish admiration for an actor/actress,musician or athlete is one thing if you're a child or young teen but adults should be able to differentiate between someone's skill at their profession and their ramblings on subjects that they have no more expertise at than the average person.
“I was trying to stress that I believe in democracy and the American Constitution. It was that simple… I’m out of it now. That’s what I said and it’s that simple.”
Above is the statement of an artist, one who knows where her talent lies.
