The intolerance of the Left has been on display for some time. Yet the vehemence with which the Left despises Donald Trump has put the hate machine into overdrive. If one supports Trump, it is tantamount to carpet-bombing every dog rescue kennel in America. If one speaks favorably of Trump, one is a racist-sexist-homophobic-transphobic-seal-clubbing hater.
And if one dares to praise Trump — it can damage a reputation irreparably.
Hollywood liberals have long blacklisted outspoken conservatives. “Dilbert” cartoon creator Scott Adams is experiencing this firsthand. Adams made several blog posts in August and September of 2015, which were astonishingly prescient, including calling Trump as the nominee and that he’d win in a landslide. He listed specific reasons why Trump qualified as a “master persuader.” One such observation was the “linguistic kill shot” Trump used to wipe out Jeb Bush, saying, “You are watching a master wizard rewire the public in real time.”
Big mistake.
The Washington Post reported that Adams has seen all of his speaking engagements and much of his licensing revenue dry up, simply because he has publicly analyzed some of Trump’s brilliant communications strategies. One cannot even attempt to educate the public without being attacked.
(That’s not the only reason liberals are running away from him. He’s also attacked some leftist tropes in much the same way, albeit with less glamour, as Milo Yiannopolous.)
It is, sadly, part of a trend. Hollywood liberals have long blacklisted outspoken conservatives. Individuals from the highest ranks of writer-producers to on-set veteran production staff have learned to keep their mouths shut when it comes to opposing liberal political positions.
Ever since David Mamet came out as a conservative in 2008, Hollywood hasn’t given him another big-screen directing gig. Back in August, actor Antonio Sabato Jr. spoke publicly about his support for Donald Trump and claims he has since been blacklisted by Hollywood.
“When you’re in my business, you can’t talk about [conservative] politics. You just can’t. You’re attacked viciously in a way that I’ve never been attacked before,” he told Variety.com. “I’ve had fantastic directors who have said officially to my agents and managers they will never hire me again. They will never even see me for projects. That’s unfair.”

I'm being persecuted in Hollywood. I've been blacklisted. My agents have dropped me. I haven't auditioned in over a year because of my beliefs and what I stand for."
Dick Yuengling Jr. owns America's oldest brewery, launched in 1829 in Pennsylvania. After pledging his support for Trump, Pennsylvania House of Representatives Democrat Brian Sims (who is openly gay) called for all gay bars to boycott the brewery's products because it supports an "anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-racial minority and anti-equality" agenda.

Weight-loss empress Jenny Craig has been a major donor to the University of San Diego. But — uh oh — she dared to hold a fundraiser for Trump. A group called USD Alumni and Students Against Hate penned a letter demanding she withdraw her support — or that USD remove her name from a building dedicated in her name.
It doesn't matter if you supported Barack Obama in 2008, either. Brian France, the CEO and chairman of NASCAR, supported Trump back in March. He was careful to distinguish that it was him, not NASCAR, that supported Trump, but it made no difference. Despite his support for Obama and a track record of promoting diversity, France got bludgeoned in the sports media.

Jonathan Ingram of The Sports Xchange called the endorsement "a mistake." George Diaz of the Orlando Sentinel sarcastically wrote, "Who wouldn't want to be associated with a crass, juvenile, egomaniacal class clown who has turned the 2016 presidential campaign into a frightening freak show?"
And finally, Bernard Marcus is the founder of The Home Depot. Not only did he say he never could have started his company under the economic policies of Obama, but he endorsed Trump. Even though the company distanced itself from Marcus' words, the statement triggered an online call for a company boycott — which, thankfully, appears to have failed.
I’ve gotten one negative reaction to my red MAGA hat, from my physical therapist. OTOH, I’ve gotten a ton of positive comments and complements from everybody. My county is 55% R, just sayin’...
“The left couldn’t care who was in DT’s position. They would despise with incredulous violent and atrocious acts just because someone had the gall to be against them.”
Yes, but they wouldn’t be quite as hateful to a designated loser they were beating.
They’ll vote for him, but they’ll be missed by the pollsters, the commentators, the journalists, and the politicians.

I’m buying 2 cases of Yuengling ... I’ll have plenty on ice Tuesday...
Yes, but they wouldn’t be quite as hateful to a designated loser they were beating.

NAILED IT ,, Trump is a winner and they know it.
58,000,000 plus million of them we killed before their birth!!
People should be ashamed for supporting the PSYCHOPATH socialist Hillary rotten Clinton.
“Yes, but they wouldn’t be quite as hateful to a designated loser they were beating.”
You are in la la land if you believe that.
I support Trump. I welcome the left to break in my abode.
An idiot I work with sometimes voted for Obama for “free health care”.
I think that magic is gone.
Interesting since all the Hollywood Liberal types always talk about the people “blacklisted” in the 50’s for their ties to the Communist Party.
The hypocrisy is too high to calculate.
White liberal thugs are not nice people...
“You are in la la land if you believe that.”
Buncombe. We have the histories of the Dole, McCain, and Romney campaigns to show us otherwise.
One thing I have determined after more than fifty years of intense observation: where you find a single woman with a cat you’ve found a woman who never wanted a “real man” in the first place regardless of what she says. ;o)
She bought her house from 2 lesbians, the first neighbors to welcome her to the neighborhood were two lesbians from across the street. Two days later the next neighbors to visit were 2 lesbians from across the street next door to the other ones. My daughter exclaimed, " I live on lesbian corner!"
My daughter told them that her room mate is her best friend, not girlfriend, I said to her, they probably had this conversation walking away from your house, "Ahhhh, they haven't come out yet."
A slim one: any marriageable age woman with a dog who has managed to acquire her own house merits not only a "real man," but a real man with a head on his rather impressive shoulders....
Thin pickings, indeed!
