I’m left to wonder if something bigger is going on here. I find it hard to believe that Gervais just decided to rip these people with no backing, effectively committing professional suicide. Unless...
The Hollywood powers are beginning to take notice that the left is more and more unhinged. That people like Elizabeth Warren would do more harm than good. That President Trump is very likely going to be president until 2024. So, whether they agree with what Gervais said or not, they gave him the green light in an effort to give the appearance of pulling back.
It’s all about making money.

Hollywood’s dirty little secret. Spouting off about their causes and politics is a convenient smokescreen that hides what they really care about.
He’s been doing it for 5 years in a row. His twitter is worse. Professional suicide doesn’t matter when you’re big enough and rich enough to produce your own content.
I think he is just awesome.
Don’t read too much into it. Yeah, it got ratings, but only because of Gervais. Ratings are more important than the feelings of commies who play in movies.
