Exactly. Many of us literally cannot be whom we are. Including in Meryl’s disgusting industry. I can’t show I’m a Trump supporter without my kids being punished socially. And you can’t drive up to a Hollywood studio or entertainment job with your Trump bumpersticker or even dare share your views. And she and her Beverly Hilton ballroom full of exact likemindeds (with two exceptions, Messrs. Vaughn and Gibson) think THEY are the victims?
Right!
They don’t GET that THEY enjoy a version and extent of ‘free speech’ which is available only TO people who are in entertainment and have direct and immediate access to media attention and public notice. Never mind that intellectually, THEY have nothing to recommend them or their views to any kind of favored status....
The patently unethical and unfair dynamic about this arrangement escapes them.
