Shut Up and Sing: Is Hollywood Actually Secretly Conservative? - VICE

COL Charles Williams roger that, most interesting for sure, this is new to me!

Definitely not true, sir. There are several small pockets of conservatism in Hollywood and most of them are mentioned in the article such as the FOA and Breitbart circles, which have a lot of overlap. They mention most of the more well known conservatives save for Gary Sinise, Kelsey Grammar, Vince Vaughn, and a few others. I'm part of Veterans in Film and Television (in Hollywood) and even group like that doesn't have a conservative majority- but is much more balanced than civilian Hollywood. Conservatives in Hollywood stick together and keep their mouths shut for the most part when working in 'non-safe' spaces, which pretty much every job/company in Hollywood is due to the overwhelming, and aggressive, liberal majority there.

The issue really isn't where Hollywood stands, but rather, how its public faces act and, while I am not against celebrities being involved in politics, I do think there are more professional ways to go about it than they normally pursue. They have to remember that they are a brand and that it's important not to alienate portions of their fan-base. I think it's important that, when they participate in politics, they do their best to distance that from their professional lives ( I know, not easy for people who have the limelight on them 24-7) Sort of the same thought behind not wearing a military uniform to a protest.
