All people, regardless of their occupation, have a public life and if they want to be respected they must take care of their image, not only in dress, the way they act, the people they interact with or frequent, in what they speak or express for whatever medium and how to do it, the latter being very important, especially for those who excel in public life.
We often see that a boxer is interviewed because he is going to have a major fight and when asked for his opinion about his opponent he will show us if he is a smart man or a perfect jerk.
The intelligent man will say that his adversary is a formidable boxer, even if he considers that he can easily defeat this opponent. The perfect imbecile, inflating his ego, will make a stupid statement, stating that his opponent is below the sole of his shoes and that he will easily overcome this adversary because this man is not a good boxer.
Considering that everything in life is measured by the result obtained, if the boxer interviewed made intelligent statements, by winning the fight, he will have won to a formidable opponent, which will be something meritorious; but if his statements were stupid, it would have no merit to have defeated somebody who is no one as a boxer. However, if for any reason he lost the fight, if he had acted intelligently, he would not have lost to a bad boxer and it would not be a dishonorable lost; but if his manifestations were imbeciles, he will have been defeated by a no one as a boxer and he would had a dishonorable lost.
This example should serve to the Hollywood actors and actresses who made political statements with great alacrity, taking sides in the recent presidential elections, even stating that if the candidate they opposed won the election, they would leave the country. The ego of these artists is enormous and led them to act in a childish way, as they told their admirers to choose between them and the candidate opposed by them, not considering that their performance in a film is something abstract by which they receive a generous remuneration and daily life is something concrete and many people who appreciate them as artists must face a situation in real life and must choose what they think will solve their daily sustenance, regardless of the good performance of any artist in a movie.
The performance of these artists in real life has been stupid and far from winning something they have lost popularity, because many of those who voted for the candidate they opposed, no longer see them with the same sympathy and this artists also have been discredited for not having fulfilled their childish threat of going to another country to live. This should serve as an experience for the future, as they seem to have bitten more than they can chew. As a good advice, these artists must dedicate themselves to their art and forget about politics.

The symptoms of fascist thinking (or public life) are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances. But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power.

Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.

- Henry A. Wallace, 33rd Vice-President of the United States, 1941-1945
