Hollywood Studios, Agencies in a Daze After Trump Win: "Many of Us Will Be Scared and Threatened"

A strange silence descended on Hollywood on Wednesday morning as stunned studio executives, agents and producers went through the motions as they tried to process Hillary Clinton's surprise loss to Donald Trump.

Early Wednesday morning, United Talent Agency CEO Jeremy Zimmer dispatched a memo to the company's staff trying to alleviate anxiety and anger in the aftermath of Hillary Clinton's surprise loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election.

"Many of us will be scared and threatened and we can give comfort. Some of us will be happy because our voice was heard. Either way, it's a challenging moment so let's be extra sensitive and caring with others," Zimmer wrote to the agency's employees.

Across Hollywood, agents, studio executives, producers and thousands of rank-and-file employees showed up at work Wednesday in a daze. A majority of Hollywood's power brokers and up-and-comers supported Clinton. Her roster of donors reads like a who's who of Hollywood, including Universal's Ron Meyer, Jeff Shell and Donna Langley; Warner Bros.' Kevin Tsujihara, Sue Kroll and Toby Emmerich; Paramount's Brad Grey; Sony's Michael Lynton; 20th Century Fox's Stacey Snider; and Disney's Alan Horn. Harvey Weinstein, Legendary's Thomas Tull, CAA's Bryan Lourd and ICM's Chris Silbermann also were donors, and many top figures, including Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes and stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney, hosted events for Clinton. (Entry to an August fundraiser hosted at Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's house was $100,000 per couple.)

There was also super PAC money organized by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Univision's Haim Saban on top of their personal contributions. All told, the Center for Responsive Politics reports Clinton garnered $22 million in contributions from the entertainment industry, compared to a mere $290,000 for Trump.

Sure looks like a lot of these libs, like the author of this article, are psychic.

Notice how many of them are predicting that liberals, already programmed to be so weak as to need “safe spaces”, will be afraid and hurt by Trump in the future.

They’ve gone into a warp drive of ordering their brainwashed, petrified-with-fear useful idiots to be afraid now and in the future and their mindless followers are obeying.

We’re watching a real-life zombie attack.

They think they’ll be threatened because they’re being told to think that they’ll be threatened.

They can’t think for themselves.

Special Snowflake Programming is easy to manipulate.

***Move to Mexico and STFU.***

Movie producers stole Edison’s patents of making films and fled to Los Angeles to do their filming. If Edison had filed for “patent Infringement”, the producers knew they were not far from Mexico as a refuge.

The sea levels are rising, so the man made climate changers claim. We shall see if these libs make a quick exodus from the waters.
