Wonder how many ‘celebrities’ lie about what they really believe?

In the 80’s had a very good friend in the music business move to L.A. He still lives there today.
After living there for about a year he told me how phony the liberal mindset really was in Los Angeles. He said that many of the people he worked with and a few of the ‘famous’ people he knew were in reality VERY conservative but toed the line to keep working and maintain their livelihood.
He said you would be stunned if knew how some of these Hollywood types really voted.
Now in complete honesty I do have to admit my friend has become a woke Leftist.
Sadly the majority of those out there are far Left and he finally succumbed to the brainwashing. He went out there from Louisiana as a Conservative. He has now done a complete 180.
We are no longer in touch. And since his ‘conversion’ his life has become MUCH worse. He did massive drugs. He is in terrible health and almost died a couple of times and became a very bitter ‘howling at the moon’ person. I quit taking his calls years ago because I knew he was going to bitch about his life and how fricked up everything is the entire time we were on the phone. As a typical woke dumb arse he took zero responsibility for any of HIS bad life choices and chose to blame others and circumstances on his plight.
It’s a shame he got turned. It’s frightening to see a dear friend just get ruined by that culture. It’s also a shame that the phonies won’t stand up for their principles that they really believe in.
The greatest irony is how Hollywood for years bitches and moans and screams about the McCarthy era when in reality they today are much much worse.
I thought Kat Williams might be a bit looney but in further reflection I think he was totally truthful in his interview with Shannon Sharpe.

I think Rogan just discussed this with someone on his podcast the other day; I saw a clip of it. There's basically a cabal at the top that controls everything, and if you aren't in lockstep with their beliefs you're blacklisted. So anyone who wants to have a shot in Hollywood has to completely adhere to the ideology.
It's only in recent years when entertainment is getting a lot more dispersed that it's finally being shaken up a bit. That run from 1980's - mid 2010's will be a very interesting period to look at retrospectively.

“Progressive” mind-rot carries consequences.
As a whole, they just seem a joyless, spiteful, vengeful and miserable bunch whose only real goal is to make sure no one else is walking around happy either.

I don’t have a friend like yours so maybe my suggestion is a bridge too far but maybe reach out to your friend on Easter and check in with him. Crazy Leftist or not, you’d probably feel bad if the worst happened and you realized you missed an opportunity to connect back with him.

Not all.
Not a majority.
But probably more than just a few.
The reality is that few Americans think about politics enough to really even know what they think rather than just parroting someone else and/or tribally reacting. And celebrities are no different, and possibly are even more shallow and weak minded than the average American. In Hollywood you are surrounded by the leftist culture (which is why your friend succumbed to it), and there's no reason to think that it doesn't do the same to the celebs. Especially for those in movies, since they usually come from a college theatre background and have already been indoctrinated since they were still teenagers.
All that said, I also have no doubt that for those who do have different views, there is no shortage of leftist willing to blackball/cancel them for those views.

You have to remember how desperate most actors and performers are to get to the top. Most of them don't believe a single liberal word they say but they say it to either get in the club or stay in the club

Many of them act for a living. I would think the people you see in public are not who they really are at all.
Plenty of them are nut jobs too.

shite like this is why I’m not in fields which are up to the whims of people in charge vs the results you put up.
I don’t have the patience to kiss arse, literally or metaphorically, as a condition of my success.

They play in fantasy roles. Think about that. Their personal value depends on it. Fantasy, Fake Emotion, Fiction, and Fairy Tale is their entire world. The real world does not register.
