Unfortunate that right wingers think that celebrities should muzzle their 1st Amendment rights.
I think the entertainers should be able to voice their opinion, but if they are going to do it as they are trying to entertain me in a movie, or TV show, I will turn it off. They can talk Left biased politics all they want, but not on my time. The Liberal/Progressive agenda comes through on a lot of programming, even sitcoms. Click.

It's not that conservatives are obsessed with Hollywood; it's that Hollywood is obsessed with being stupid.

The problem is Hollywood has chose sides a long time ago. This is the reason we no longer have Movies that appeal to everyone.


As a Conservative I choose not to go to the movies.

Yeah, other way around. We aren't blind. Or deaf. I stopped watching tv long before Trump got into politics because even as a old fashioned liberal I was tired of listening to stupid people tell me what I should be thinking.

i dont give a damned about hollywood, or what the actors think since most of them are irrelevant any way since they dont ahve a clue about which they speak because most of them only read from a prepared script.

as for only conservatives thinking noly we can build successful businesses, that is rubbish also. steve wynn is not conservative yet he built a successful business, as did bill gates and warren buffet. not every successful businessman is conservative, and us conservatives know it.

Hollywood is a successful industry that is largely created by, run by, and participated in by liberals. These liberals became self-made millionaires and billionaires through the arts. The studios and production companies employee countless numbers of people from the actors themselves to handlers to managers to set builders to sound/audio techies to marketers and so on. Because the films are shot in various countries, all involved get to travel the world, visiting country after country seeing how other people live, how other governments work. They get a first-hand view of the effects of poverty, war, dictatorships, economic policies, elections, etc. Hollywood's movies each generate millions to billions of dollars in revenue, ultimately making Hollywood or the U.S. film industry a multi-billion dollar industry.

Conservatives like to say that only they know how to run businesses, create jobs, and generate income. Conservatives like to say that only they know how the world works. Conservatives like to say that they're the only ones that are successful. Conservatives like to say that only they believe in God and live the teachings of Jesus. Hollywood proves conservatives' creed to be a lie. That's why conservatives have aneurysms over any and all things related to Hollywood and its actors.

Think about it. Hollywood is full of liberals who are self-made millionaires that are running successful businesses, creating jobs, and generative massive revenue. These Hollywood liberals have traveled the world and are able to speak to worldly issues in ways that a conservative who's never left the South can't. Because of that worldly experience, these Hollywood liberals are big on humanitarian work from helping refugees to feeding the poor to supporting efforts to rescue sex slaves and victims of slave trades. In other words they practice the word of God while conservatives in the Bible belt are focused on tax reform and building a wall. Because of the massive reach Hollywood liberals have due to their celebrity, their message is heard by billions all over the world.

And this makes conservatives feel inferior. That's why conservatives need to demonize Hollywood liberals, minimize their accomplishments, and dismiss their views. As much as conservatives claim to not care about Hollywood, the fact remains that conservatives just can't quit Hollywood. They're obsessed.


Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and uh, wrong. Especially the highlighted portion.


Holy cow, what did you smoke this morning!?!?! lolololol
