Yes, because if the messenger is someone you’ve never heard of, you’re not going to listen.
Additionally, if the messenger is someone you personally don’t respect, then you are more likely to dismiss their message as insignificant, right?

Funny, that's what I see too.

Strawman. No one has said that "we should celebrate Jim Carrey as a great member of the left". There's a wide gap between saying that he should shut up, and saying that he's someone who should always be listened to. We can recognize that he is entitled to a political voice, and is capable of saying true things, without going as far as to laud him as someone whose voice should carry weight.
That's actually a pretty clever way of letting them know how to bribe him while maintaining deniability.
I don't know if i'd call getting kids killed by preventable diseases "lesser".

It's certainly less urgent. Inciting people to violence kills people today.
Or, are you posting from the 1990s?
You know, long ago I mentioned how "sports" like politics feels these days, in which people simply root for a "team" regardless of things like policy or actual need.
This small Washington Post vid from a correspondent that has been to over 200 Trump rallies really brought that more into perspective.
Basically, people go to his rallies like they would attend a hockey game. They still even chant the same catchphrases, like "Lock Her Up!", "Build The Wall!" and "Drain The Swamp!" that have been the mainstay of his events for over two years. In some cities, people even sell Trump merchandise for the rallies, including foam number one hands for people to wave around, shirts saying "Suck it, Liberals" like they are the out of state team everyone wants to lose, etc.
I won't even get into the interviews ("We seem to like everything he stands for as a Conservative Christian." !?!)
Honestly, I don't know if this makes me feel any better. Before, I at least had some semblance that the majority of these people actually had hopes and dreams they wished to bring forth with policy, even if Trump conned them, but now I feel like most of the people supporting Trump just want to see him give Obama the stone cold stunner and flip off the democrats as he comes down off the top rope, and he could drive a car through the audience of the auditorium for all they actually care about what his policy does to the country.

How did I know it would involve Florida...
The zealotry of a convert . . .
If I could commission a short project from one of you folks with photoshop skills/availability, would you be so kind as to make a 4 panel image with Cheetolini mocking the disabled reporter, the tiki torchers, immigrant children concentration camps, and "I stand for the flag" while he's sitting on the flag douchebag.
I'd really like to post some "Dear Republicans / Family, This is who you are. Own it. OWN IT."

Dude broadcasted more warning signals than the EBS, sent up more red flags than a boy scout learning semaphore.

A day after a Trump supporter murdered 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, with many wounded and 4 of the victims being police, Trump blamed the congregation for not having armed security at a bris and for him having to go out in wet windy weather which messed up his hair.
This is not a joke. He actually fucking said that.
The mass murderer was taken into custody alive, because even though he shot 4 policemen and murdered a bunch of people, he was apparently less threatening than the average black teenager.

Yeah because if 4 armed & trained police officers who knew they were dealing with an active shooter couldn't avoid getting shot, your rent-a-guard who wasn't expecting trouble (because who expects trouble at a fucking baby naming ceremony) isn't going to be anything other than the first victim.
No, see, those cops where clearly liberal plants...
Those damn uppity maple trees, with their unions and demands for equal rights.
