I'll Vote for You, but Not be Seen With You

Social Media is notorious for the "I'll say what I want to you, but not to your face". But I didn't think it would carry to the disrespect of the now swore in president, Trump. Now I'm not the biggest fan of him but if I were to tweet or post saying "I'd vote for Trump and your should too", then I'd back that up with real life. Some of the most influential people of our time did this. The A list celebrities who were all for Trump are suddenly worried about their image after receiving invitations to his inauguration. Now if the president I was helping campaign for, the president I tried to persuade my fans to voting for, sent me a personal invitation to him getting sworn in (something they said they wanted) I wouldn't just be ecstatic, I would be honored. But they practically all declined. Because they don't wanna be seen at a Trump function ? Is that really how you want to welcome our next leader ? By embarrassing him ? By giving him false hope that he would have a crowd of famous people to raise his already blemished name ? Again, I'm not the biggest fan, but even I wouldn't do that. I know Trump doesn't need any help pumping up his ego, he can handle that himself. But I'm sure that was a blow to him as a leader and and influential icon to see how many people didn't want to go and show support because they didn't want to be seen showing support. 

But the fact of the matter is, these sought after celebs are snatching but the usually hard to come buy inauguration tickets because quite simply they don't want them. They don't want to attend. "Historic and wonderful as it is, I'd rather cut my own liver out with a butter knife (than go). This comes straight from a columnist who made rounds supporting and vouching for Trump and now wont go. And some celebs (in my opinion) stooped lower than just declining, and just never said yes or no. So when someone asks who's coming to the inauguration they would have to answer with the embarrassing answer of, "I'm not sure". They have the balls to say yes, I'll go and give you the support I've supposedly been giving the beginning. Or a no, I don't want to be seen with you. His campaign was thoroughly mocked for its lack of big brand names and now it is happening at one of the most important events of his life and in history in general. 

My question is, why does it matter so much if you have all the big names who say anything to raise their names just a little higher? Now trust me I understand the want to have the A listers at the inauguration, it defiantly helps it be a more sought after event to go to is all the famous people are there. But wouldn't it mean more to have all the little people there? Invite the people who stood by him during the chaos and riots. Who despite his vulgar and out there mannerisms, still casted their vote for him because they saw a future they wanted in his ideas. I understand why the famous people who are pro-Trump are highly desired by Trump. But at they same time if they refuse to be seen with him, refuse to show support in real life. How big of Trump fans could they be. Yes, celebs have a big impact, but the "little" people of this world are the ones who stick by what they say. Cause frankly, unlike people who rely on what others think, they don't give a damn.
