What is it with people losing their shit over celebrities' speeches?

99% of celebs are dumb as fuck and should not be taken seriously or be listened to at all.

I never understood why these "celebrities" have such huge following anyway.

What's the idea behind it? People trying to make up for a lack of a life of their own?

Same as everything else in the world. You have an individual who possesses qualities you like. To you, it's Tai Lopez--sure he is duping you as he rents out 8 figure mansions for self-help promotions, but his quality is that he's rich, confident, and makes no excuses for anything--something you aspire to be. So, you follow him and you tell people about his inspirational books on MMO-Champion. Celebrities, on the other hand, are obfuscated. Conservatives, for instance, loved Bradley Cooper because he played a veteran and shared their conservative values. Ironically, Streep actually gave an answer to your question when she said that actors have the ability to connect to viewers lives with the characters they portray. Unfortunately, people seem to believe that the characters themselves are indeed representative of the actors in the real world until they're outraged when a Bradley Cooper shows up to a DNC.
