Andrew Breitbart has pointed out politics is downstream from culture. What you call "mindless consumer sheep" is the culture he's talking about. The weird pol-tier criticism of consoooming is still a head scratcher for me. you may hate the fact that consoomers are as mindless as they are, but they're the majority. It's bad, of course, but it will always be like this; gotta learn to work around/with it. It was no different 50 years ago.

So yeah, the normies are sheep, but you need the normies to wake up and the only way they really wake up is if celebrities and famous people and other cultural icons do shit like this.

We may hate the normies and consoomers but unfortunately we need their help to stem this bleeding.

Breitbart was wrong, it's the opposite. Politicians through their shills in pop culture push the culture change behind the scenes to make it appear that culture is changing politics organically when in fact it's the elite pushing culture through their shills and operatives to make it appear that culture is legit changing. Case in point the Sex Pistols being used by the elite to make leftist shit mainstream and discarding the band once they no longer were useful and clones started popping up organically like the Clash, Misfits then eventually pop punk like Green Day influencing an even younger gen to be leftist shills because it's cool and Will and Grace pushing the alphabet mafia agenda til we got fag sex parades and legalized gay marriage while disrupting then subverting the nuclear family into the dysfunctional mess with a 51% divorce rate we have today. Then the media get's their orders from the CIA handlers to push the "culture is changing and we should embrace it" narrative.

Yes, but... people being influenced by celebrities and talking heads on TV is a cultural phenomenon in itself, and it's fairly new, it started in the... 19th century, I guess?

In any sane culture, nobody would care about celebrities' opinions on anything. There was a time when actors were considered on the same level as whores; they would come to a town, play their performance, and if it sucked, they'd get chased out by an angry mob. Even if the people enjoyed the performance, they were still told to leave by sundown, and nobody thought to listen to them about anything.

Then, culture changed, media started promoting actors and musicians as people whose opinion mattered, and politicians leveraged that. So it still comes down to culture - in this case, a culture of celebrity worship.
