I've been telling people for years now that the Rock will 100% be President one day but I always thought he'd run for governor of Florida first.

Think it's probably fair to assert that anyone who's a millionaire (which often comes with celebrity status) isn't going to be approaching issues the same way as someone who's living paycheck-to-paycheck. This isn't to say they were never that way or grew up in that environment, themselves, but success does have a way of changing people. I'd probably favor someone like Keanu over the Rock if going by life outside their celebrity status, but just being in movies or a pro wrestler isn't enough to make me vote for someone.
I don't know, his match against Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania X7 is probably worth at least two battleground states. And then the next year he pulled an all-time classic out of a 48-year-old Hulk Hogan, I mean come on.

Which would bring me back to my previous question. How does that invalidate his opinion if he understands the struggles of the 99% and the importance of addressing them? I'm genuinely confused as to how any one celebrity would not know just because they're now rich. I mean, the last two "celebrity" presidents were both Republican, which seems to line up more with their lack of empathy and understanding and less with their status.
Celebrities are more out of touch with regular jackoffs than politicians are.
Him being Republican until Trump isn't a good sign, imo. Sure, he may reject Trumpism, but conservative policies and actions had problems prior to 2016.
Definitely some plutocracy at play, too. Then you get someone like AOC who not only gets into the club, but is then told to basically "go back to where she came from" with perceived status as a bartender and nothing more. It's not surprising she's a GOP boogieman precisely because she actually wants to fix broken shit.The vast majority of politicians at the higher rankings are pretty well off before they become politicians. It's just more of the same.
Can’t wait to see him cut a promo on all the candy asses in a debate.
