The Rock, for whom I feel an abiding devotion, has endorsed Biden/Harris. I worry that casual observers will not realize just how profoundly damning this superficially vague and bloodless endorsement is. https://twitter.com/therock/status/1310198847835000834

This is a man who, in an age of of endless partisan fracture, has maintained such widespread palatability that he is not only America’s top grossing movie star but mentioned as a plausible political candidate (generally assumed to be a corporatist FL Republican who who knows)

If you are a student of The Rock’s instagram you will learn he studiously avoids taking positions on ANYTHING except:
- hard work (pro)
- fans (pro)
- troops (pro)
- his heritage (pro but in a nonthreatening way! it’s all good bro)
- his tequila company (pro)
- negativity (anti!)

Picking a winner in this context means he’s seeing such a profound loser that there are no real costs involved
