By contrast, if WWII were being fought today, most of the socialists in Hollywood would support the other side.

They did back in 1942 also. Only when Hitler attacked the USSR, his ally in invading Poland, did they do a 180 and support US entry into the War.

Germany (Hitler) attacked the USSR (Russia) June 6 1941 not 1942! They did their backflips when that happened. Though I grant you many are mentally slow in Hollywierd for some it could have taken 6 months to figure out what to do.

"did they do a 180 and support US entry into the War."

Support? they demanded that the US fight Germany immediately and open a second front to take pressure off of the Soviets.

The Communists still ran/run Hollywood and movies like Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe depicted our Air Force inadvertently nuking the USSR and the horrors that followed. These movies coincided with the Communist-directed "Ban the Bomb" movement and supported their premise that only the US should give up "the Bomb".

In the mid-60s, the Ban the Bomb movement morphed into the "Anti Vietnam War" movement and they even kept their symbol which overnight became the "Peace symbol".
