If I disagree with a public figure’s opinion, I just tell myself, “Uhh, that person is weird.”
Or I will discuss it with people in my close circle. Just to fill the conversation, not to discuss seriously.
Why respond to other people’s opinions excessively? It doesn’t have much influence on me or others. It will actually make the public figure more famous (Sometimes that’s what they want, conveying controversial things so they become more well-known).
There are so many public figures who have this nature. Doing or saying strange things to get covered by the mass media. Yeah, like a drama queen.
