I lived in L.A. for years, and there were a real variety of people, conservatives, moderates and, yeah , some nuts, but they’re easy to ignore.

We don't want more Hollywood in Texas.
I understand the sentiment, but then what is the solution to leftists dominating pop culture? Do you want your kids being excluded from all pop culture, a life with no enjoyment from movies and TV at all, or would it be better to change pop culture to something more conservative and traditional? We complain about the message from Hollywood but then encourage them to stay in their bubble where they keep making the same shows.
Getting them out of Hollywood seems like a good first step. It's the same concept as DC. Get the different departments out of DC and into various states so that there is not a single monolithic leftist culture calling the shots.
Maybe moving some of them to Texas isn't the solution, but sometimes it seems like people complain as much about solutions as they do the problems. We don't like what's happening and want things to change, but there's always a problem with the solution. So, nothing happens and the problem festers.
Sometimes you just have to try the options you have available.

Who says they’ll avoid filming in Georgia if the law is upheld?
Two productions have confirmed they will not shoot in Georgia due to the abortion law. One was The Power, an Amazon series based on the Naomi Alderman novel. “There is no way we would ever bring our money to that state by shooting there,” said director Reed Morano. The other was a film called Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. In addition, EUE/Screen Gems president Kris Bagwell told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that a Netflix film had left his Atlanta studio.
David Simon of Blown Deadline Productions (HBO’s The Wire, The Deuce, Treme) was one of the first, on May 8, to say that he wouldn’t shoot in Georgia. Christine Vachon of Killer Films (Carol), Mark Duplass (HBO’s Togetherness), Neal Dodson of CounterNarrative (Netflix’s Triple Frontier), and Nina Jacobson of Color Force (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Hunger Games) also vowed to boycott the state. Atlanta-filmed Ozark star Jason Bateman told the Hollywood Reporter he would stop filming in Georgia if the law goes into effect, and Ron Howard and Brian Grazer said they’d keep their film Hillbilly Elegy in the state this year but wouldn’t return if the law stands.
The next day, Disney CEO Bob Iger told Reuters that it would be “very difficult” to film in Georgia if the law goes into effect.

If this is a push, just limit it to the Austin city limits as they ceased being 'Texan' at least a couple of decades ago.

you are quoting an article from like 2018, and nothing mentioned in it ever materialized. Production activity in Georgia doubled after its abortion law went into effect.

Hollywood will always be a Jewish institution and with few exceptions express Jewish cultural values. And that is a problem for us. It undercuts our culture, and damages the process where we transmit our values to the next generation
It would be good for us if we had our own media, but at the same time, we don’t hold movie making in the same esteem that Jewish people do. Which is why there isn’t a Christian/American analog to Hollywood.

Yeah, OK. The law was passed in 2019, it was initially ruled unconstitutional in July 2020. That ruling was reversed, in July 2022. The actors strike then hit in '23 and no one has come back. Even Tyler Perry stopped work on expanding his studio
quote:
ATLANTA - The actors’ and writers’ strikes ended nearly a year ago, but the film and TV industry has been slow to recover. Production in Georgia has dipped below pre-pandemic levels.
quote:
Georgia, once hailed as the Hollywood of the South, is now more like a cinematic dust bowl for many people who make their living in film and TV. "What are they greenlighting right now? Nothing," said veteran cameraman Matthew Jackson
The film and TV business has been sluggish. Production in Georgia is a fraction of what it was a few years ago. "Right now, it’s very inconsistent," Jackson said.
quote:
"We got nothing right now," said CEO John Rooker. "This will be the longest we've been down, including the Covid hit."
quote:
For 2022. Business Facilities magazine ranked Georgia No. 1 in motion picture and television production. According to FilmLA, Georgia’s film industry now ranks third to California and New York in the production of feature films.
I'm sorry, but GA will continue to be punished for helping Trump win a second term
