Well, here we are. The day we swore would never come, which we couldn’t survive, which we’d leave the country if it ever came to that. Now it’s here and so still are we.
For those here in Hollywood in the Democracy coalition, as bleak as it is, the path forward is murky. Is it time for total resistance, laying down in the streets in the path of every statement and edict? Or is our moment just to shut up and sing?
As the smoke from the fires faded, I found myself lost in a new haze, as did many others, of how one should behave in what may be unusual — even dangerous — times. A big part of that “unusual” environment involves the behavior of those who run our very own industry and what principles they are willing to defend.
… So looking it in the eye, here’s a few basics we have to swallow:
Minority Status. We are not part of the ruling coalition here. We do not speak from a place of dictating to America how things are going to be or demanding they follow our lead — or else!
Fringe of the Fringe. In particular, no one is looking to hear more from Hollywood. The idea that Hollywood star power can sweep anyone to victory in a “vibes election” is probably one of the more harmful delusions the Democratic Party swallowed last year.

Greed chasing profit.
Poor babies, they think they matter. Hollywood should be nothing more than entertainment value, stick to acting, singing, dancing.
In some ways I will look forward to the day when AI writes scripts and digital code replaces actors so a lot of these fools are left to get normal jobs and lead normal lives like everybody else.....IOW, when technology cancels them and their jobs.
Time for them to catch up on their hamburger flipping skills that is if a robot doesn’t beat them to it
Pay wall. As if I was going to throw money at these commies.
You might think that Trump getting elected and their neighborhoods burning to the ground might be considered hints suggesting that it is really time to move. It’s like God whacked them twice with a 2x4 and their just dumber than a mule and can’t get the hint. Move out of the US.
What action of Trump do they specifically want to resist? Dems are just whiners.
A mule can be useful,these people not so much.
Very bad form, his people have lost everything in the wildfires and he’s kvetching about Trump winning.
The answer is easy a super charged transparent rebuilding daily rebuilding NCoperation for NC.If CA wants to be the bratty stepchild treat them as such.
So Hollywood just now got woke. They are paid to entertain us like the monkey on an organ grinders leash. If they no longer entertain us they better learn to code.
His people may have lost everything in the wildfires but they are still kvetching about Trump winning.
"This would not have happened if Trump had not won the election and caused all these fires! The haters are in power! I should leave the country!"
And AI and CGI are doing so much. With more on the way.
Hopefully gone from Georgia forever
Hollywood is the abode of liberals. I get it. It has been for coming up on 60 years now. Yet throughout most of this time, Hollywood still managed to entertain me. Hollywood liberals gave us Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, and many more great, ENTERTAINING movies and TV series.
And then something happened around 2017. Hollywood decided that their job was no longer to entertain me but to scold, lecture, and "educate" me. And this is when everything went to crap. Movies and TV shows became unwatchable struggle sessions.
Let's return to the "entertain me" platform of the entertainment industry. I don't care if you all are liberals or not.
If I remember my history of Hollywood, the film industry chose the Hollywood area in case Thomas Edison sued them for infringement on his movie patents. Being close to Mexico gave them a head start on “getting out of Dodge” ahead of the law.
