If you were a conservative, would you give up your political stance or at least hide it if you were an actor in Hollywood?

[Anonymous]

It's no surprise that the vast majority of hollywood is largely liberal and if you aren't a democrat, pro LGBT+, pro-immigration, pro-diversity and anti-trump then you are going to have a harder time getting roles.

The question becomes, if you were a conservative would you cave into hollywoods expectations of you in order to thrive in the industry?

This includes being pro-lgbt+ and doing gay scenes to show your accepting of the gay lifestyle.

Yes

No

A total of 23 votes were cast: 3 girls and 20 guys. See detailed results

[USLegionary]

Absolutely I would hide it. Most people generally have conservative and liberal views but in Hollywood you have to agree publicly with whatever left wing bullshit is all the rage or else your career is over. Just look at tim allen, he had that hit show last man standing about a conservative family and it got cancelled 3 times despite good ratings and Disney went with Chris Evans over him for buzz light years voice. Hollywood likes to show Conservatives or those with conservative views in a bad light, when I say Conservatives I mean white Conservatives as most Muslims, Hispanic, Asians and black Christians have conservative views.

[Sandeeppingping]

I was thinking about that just yesterday, I'm really good looking and I'm useless, being confident and having a loud mouth is all I got, so I was thinking about giving acting a go, the only problem is that I'm a huge Trump supporter, imagine the uproar I'll get if I make it to the top have a bunch of fangirls then suddenly yea I think we should be less tolerant of the lmnop community, abortion is murder, and mass immigration legal or illegal is actually mass suicide, yea I'll be exiled from Hollywood forever, they'll send to transnistria or something

[StevieNix]

Hell no. I'd seek out like-minded people to work with. Not everyone is insane, it just seems like that. So many people cave to the tiny minority of wokes, because they are afraid not to. Elon calls them childish bullies that need to get their own way.

Joe Pags is about my favorite conservative talk radio hosts.

Friday he told women swimmers to stop bitching and crying about that guy they're competing with. "Just get out of the water, and this will all stop!"

I've been saying the same thing.

[StevieNix]

Thanks for the MHO.

The problem is young people who support Trump are no different than the Hitler Youth of 1930s Germany. They have been groomed by the far-right, and brainwashed into radical white nationalists. It’s time to call it out. Nazis are no longer fringe Republicans. Nazis are mainstream Republicans.

[JDavid25]

You do realize more people than "White" people support Trump right, and that Trump was a Democrat for most of his life until recently right? Also Republicans can't be Nazis because Nazism is National Socialism..

[MAC1983]

Oh, Republicans can be Nazis. Many Republicans were Nazi supporters. No, not one or two. Read up.

But, you're technically right. Nazis no longer exist; well, it will take some more decades for all of them to die, perhaps.

Neo-nazis, however, are a problem in many countries in the World. There are neo-nazis in the USA, and not one or two, neither.

But furthermore, there are fascists in the USA, posing as patriots and all kinds of lovely groups. The KKK is a fascist group, and it still exists, for example.

[JDavid25]

@MAC1983 Nazis were more than "White" nationalist.. Really the were Aryan supremacists.. Very specific.. They were also socialist.. So no Republicans cannot be Nazis.. Also Fascism is not the same as Nazism.. The KKK hasn't committed an actual crime in decades.. And "White" Supremacy and Neo-Nazism are just Boogeyman talking points constantly used by Democrats and the left at this point.. Those phrases and names have lost all semblance of gravity once you realize they call anybody who doesn't agree with them those.

[MAC1983]

1 - All Arians were White, so sorry, your point is moot.
2 - Nazis modelled themselves after Mussolini's fascism. They were as fascist as him or more. How? The cult of the ruler? Fascism. Scapegoating? Fascism. Heavy use of censorship and propaganda? Fascism. Another moot point. The nation above the individual? Fascism too. They weren't very original.

3 - Nazism means National Socialism, which has nothing to do with Socialism, at all. You can call a dictatorship a Control Democracy - it is still a dictatorship. Moot point too.

The KKK was an example. They have attempted murder as late as 2015. They are declining, it's true. But not extinct.

If you think white supremacists are non-existant I recommend you learn some more facts. All their numbers are rising. To be clear, white supremacists can also be a blanket term for all different kind of groups, but that's not relevant at this time.

So, let's put things in perspective. Were Republican Nazi supporters in the past? Yes. Are there fascist tendencies like I enumerated above in the Republican Party today? Also yes. Are there actual neo-nazis in the Republican Party? Well there are in supporters - you see the swastikas and Nazi salute in rallies. I don't know every Republican representative and official to speculate on them.

Phrases and names have meanings and help create, distort and understand reality. Better learn what they mean, and the history behind it.

[Asker]

@MAC1983 How do you feel about Joe Biden ties to the KKK clan?

[JDavid25]

@MAC1983
1. Well, I don't think I ever said Aryans weren't "White" but that it's specific.. It wasn't Broadly a "White" thing since the Jews in Germany were also "White"..
2. Mussolini's fascism was about National supremacy but it had nothing to do with Ethnicity.. And largely even at his death Italians still had a generally decent view of him.. Although Fascism killed people it definitely wasn't on the scale of Nazism..

3. So a party named after Socialism isn't Socialism? Socialism by definition does have an authoritarian component to it.. But also Hitler even said he wanted to implement a different type of Socialism than Karl Marx.. And forced "private companies" to do his work.. So it had much to do with Socialism..
But an Individual with the KKK group probably tried to commit murder but the KKK as a group is a Boogeyman at this point.. That was to say they are extinct just to say they aren't that important neither is "White Supremacy".. It's a Boogeyman talking points that most Americans don't subscribe to.. Plus the KKK started in the Democrat party and the Republicans started solely as an anti-slavery movement if you wanna go to the past and it's roots.. So I wouldn't be too quick to do that sir.. Read up..

[JDavid25]

@MAC1983 That wasn't to say that they aren't extinct..

[Cubus]

You know that NSDAP was economicaly more left wing than Democrats?

[Anonymous]

Hollywood is basically gig base work. So I guess I would either give in or make my own.

If you wanna be apart of a ThEIR stuff. The you have to do what they say. Nothing malicious about it.


If I wanted to be in a conservative type thing like Nascar or UFC. ( I don't know what consertive do for fun)

I wouldn't bring up anti-consecutive stuff because that base of fans and indtursy won't support it the same way they would the actual guy.


But I'm a money guy. I'll take money over both parties. And at both people for money like Nike or Disney before 2020

[Anonymous]

You kind of have to.

People in general have difficulty separating concerns, and with so much on the line in a collectivist system its hard to tolerate the existence of rival ideas that might in your mind undermined you and everyone else.

This is why leftist censor and marginalize those they disagree with. They are afraid of said ideas wielding the power they want to build.

[anylolone]

I've hidden some of my conservative premisses for most of my life, so likely yes.

Fortunately, if you have good premisses, the conclusions sorta converge, so for most of my life I didn't even need to argue from conservative premisses, using those just makes the process quicker.

Yeay, to isomorphisms!

[MCheetah]

This is why I wouldn't be in Hollywood to begin with. No, I wouldn't hide my identity just to impress a bunch of pedophiles, rapists, and Jewish scumbags. Chris Pratt doesn't, and neither does Gina Carano.

[BeMuse]

I would never want to be an actor. I would never live in California. I'd never work for Pedowood. I'm not a conservative, but I would not hide my political views unless I was in an active war zone.

[globetrotter22]

I would take the Chris Pratt route. Keep politics to myself.

If you don’t talk about politics in Hollywood you are assumed to he conservative. But you can’t cancel a silent person easily.

[RolandCuthbert]

It is just a weird issue in this forum.

And it is highlighted by this question. . .

Is Dave Chappelle a Conservative?

[NewsReader]

Absolutely not. If we continue bending the knee to these woke destroyers of society then the future will be very dark. We have to fight together.

[ShadezMcgee]

I just wouldn't talk politics in general. I am an entertainer in this instance, not a fucking activist or spokesperson for a certain cause.

[exitseven]

I would make sure I was rich enough and then i would put a big Trump 2024 flag on my front yard.

[StevieNix]

Clint Eastwood would agree with you.

[MAC1983]

Might as well put a "Putin forever" while you're at it... 😏

[exitseven]

@StevieNix Kid Rock was on Tucker Carlson's show and he said that people would be surprised at how many Hollywood people are really conservatives but are afraid to be blackballed.

[StevieNix]

I talked to a conservative professor at a university, and he said the rest of the staff hated that he was a hunter. But he said when those same staff people were alone, they all approached him and asked for some deer sausage.

[exitseven]

@StevieNix I work in higher ed and most of the time i feel like there is a target on , my back.

[StevieNix]

It's way worse than that now. If you trespass at the capital building, you get thrown in a dungeon, with no representation. If you spend the summer burning federal buildings and police stations, the left gives you a standing ovation.

[OddBeMe]

On one hand you could argue it could hamper your career, like being gay.

But actually, looking at the details, conservative actors with shitcanned careers did it to themselves. Mostly by being vocal assholes over gays or some shit.

[BCRanger10]

I wouldn't wear it on my sleeve, but I wouldn't go to great lengths to hide it.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't give it up but yes of course I would keep my mouth shut (business is business). If I really despised liberalism I could always take the money liberal Hollywood paid me and anonymously donate it to conservative causes.

[Avicenna]

I can see some doing that. I wouldn't, though.

[Rangers]

No, I'm not going to submit to their fascistic views, if that means I have to find another career then so be it

[NYCQuestions1976]

I'm not an actor, so it's not something that I'd ever need to consider.

[Stoner710]

No but I wouldn’t be in Hollywood.
