MODERATORS
I've never heard of the MEDIA alot, but that species has alot of members.
It's amazing how brainwashed people are by TV. Trump was a blowhard business failure, but the TV show made him seem like some kind of decisive business genius, so people voted for that. I wouldn't be surprised if Zelenski was elected to lead Ukraine because he'd played the role on TV previously. A lot of it is unconscious, so people aren't going to admit that that's the reason why, but it has to be a factor.
I'm sure it's related to parasocial relationships and to stalkers. People think they know someone personally because they see them on TV or in movies, or hear them on the radio, or whatever.
he had his reality show you're fired it helped him to gain popularity, plus his failed trump towers, vodkas, always was "known" as wealthy businessmen.
