I suspect Robert Downey Jr is more of a conservative than he would prefer to claim but much less liberal than he is painted on these pages.
Here’s a Downey quote
I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since.
