1. Hippies are not really a worry

"Hippies" getting elected - an anti-war, anti-racist musician in this case - are not a problem. Even if they get elected and even if they try to do some progressive things, they typically will be marginalized, or crushed and run out of public life. And this "OMG he has no experience!" complaint is pretty silly in a country that elected a man with zero experience to the White House.

The worry is fascists getting elected, not hippies.
