A lot of folks don’t want to admit that this has been going on for more than a few years.

I understand how they feel (being in denial, that is) because I used to try to take movies/TV/entertainment seriously. For example, my best friend in grade school was way into Woody Allen. I never thought he was that cool or funny but I laughed anyway and went to his movies with her and blah-de-blah. So I could be friends and do something sort of fun, right? I would never have dared to speak against Woody Allen or any other favorite pet of the Left’s entertainment industry. (There were a lot of people and things like movies I felt that way about; I’m just using Woody Allen as an example.)

Realizing it was all a bunch of leftist BS that had left an indelible, disabling effect upon me was a nasty shock. I thought for instance of the several musicians and entertainers I used to get way into, who up until about 2016 or so I thought were cool until they started attacking Donald Trump.

It makes you feel stupid and gullible and also like you’ve been used. These entertainers don’t like me, I started thinking. They think it’s a joke that I like them.

My expectations of the entertainment industry at this point are about as close to zero as they could possibly be. I certainly DON’T expect to be entertained. (Note: I stopped watching saturday night live a long time ago. First it was “Who’s home on Saturday night? LOL!” and then it was “Dang, this show really sucks now.” One would find oneself sitting through 45 minutes of crap to watch 5 minutes of something that you could laugh at.)
