Donald Trump is the president of the United States, but the population believes that Bad Bunny better embodies American values. According to a survey published by Yahoo and YouGov, a company specializing in market research, the artist best reflects the North American country, with 42% of positive responses, compared to the Republican president, who had 39%. The study was conducted days after the Puerto Rican’s performance at halftime during Super Bowl LX, which took place on Sunday, February 8.
Trump said on social media that the show had been one of the worst in history. “It is an affront to the greatness of the United States and does not represent our values of success, creativity, and excellence. No one understands a word this guy says, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children.” But the numbers tell a different story.
The partisan difference is striking. About 78% of those who identify as Democrats view Bad Bunny favorably, and only 7% reject him. On the other hand, among those who identify as Republicans, only 12% approve of the Puerto Rican, compared to 70% who disapprove. Among independent voters, 46% voted for the artist, while 27% voted for the president.
Bad Bunny’s performance at one of the most watched events in the world has also generated increased interest in learning Spanish and traveling to the Caribbean island. Duolingo, one of the most popular language learning apps, shared a graph on its social media showing a 35% increase in Spanish learners minutes after the artist’s performance ended.
It’s really funmy how duolingo became a socio-cultural benchmark. And it isn’t even that good. But hey it’s something.
/edit also don’t associate with that kid rock guy ever, he’s one of the worst thing i have ever heard, and i am not talking on a political sense, but on human terms.
~Quite the opposite, the history of the US is, in fact, a history of migrations. Something the many if you used to be proud, especially in the 90’s, the idea that the ‘melting pot’ was open.
I was thought the concept of melting pot in history classes, as the idea that a society that stays open can function as a gateway and not as a gatekeeper.
The kkk and the racist religious and fanatical organisations have always acted as a regressive force, and it’s no news that these criminals thrived in poor or less developed areas. They are attempting to rewrite history there.
