It ' s always been a bad look for a pop star to support a Republican . Look at the caliber of performers that play at the RNC each year , then look at the DNC . It ' s part of the whole media bias thing . Republicans are clowns , they ' re evil , it ' s OK to trash them on TV and imply they ' re morons . Democrats on the other hand , they ' re all saints , they ' re admirable , and supporting them is a zero risk move for someone like Katy Perry , even if the Democrat happens to be totally corrupt . Even taking Trump out of the equation , just imagine if Katy Perry played at the RNC in 2012 . Think that would have been a good career move ? <| sep |> If I had to write a guide on how to do well in school this would be it . I more or less do everything you do here . I can ' t emphasize enough how harmful I think taking notes is . I might be an outlier but the few times I ' ve ever had to take notes I had a much harder time following the lecturer . Most professors post there lecture notes online too which makes reviewing the material even easier .
