All that Hollywood A-listers’ did for Harris did not deliver her to workplace and a few of them are actually threatening to go away America
Hollywood and its waning political affect are each following the identical trajectory.
Each time there’s a US presidential election, a lot is made within the mainstream media of celeb endorsements. Others promise to bail in another country if their candidate doesn’t win. As a result of apparently the democracy they need is the one the place the plebes do what they’re advised on the voting sales space by a handful of entertainers.
Richard Gere is transferring to Spain now and the Western press means that it’s as a result of he’s offended that Trump conflated terrorists with refugees crashing the US border. That’s truly an attention-grabbing debate. One {that a} man who lives in a gated mansion on 32 acres, with 11 loos, a visitor cottage, and a pool, may be inclined to indulge, lengthy earlier than having to fret about truly grappling with the extra evident and urgent elements of the immigration concern that the common citizen faces.
Trump’s reelection means that voters are too fed up with grossly unmanaged or mismanaged immigration to concern themselves with the main points. Which can be why the common American didn’t lose their thoughts just like the institution did over Trump’s remarks about Haitian migrants in Ohio consuming individuals’s pets. They simply ripped off the audio of Trump’s voice and made movies on TikTok starring their very own pets trying shocked about the potential of being eaten. Debate raged about whether or not the assertion was even true, however it introduced the immigration concern to the forefront and, in any case, individuals had been going to vote based mostly on their private perceptions. Which might a minimum of partly clarify why Trump ended up successful in Ohio by 12 factors over Harris. In the meantime, Gere was twiddling with the wallpaper.
Gere’s palace in Connecticut was up on the market lengthy earlier than the election. His spouse is from Spain and he’s stated that they’d prefer to spend time together with her kin. It’s not like anybody would even discover the place this man lives, anyway. He and his Hollywood friends are a number of the largest beneficiaries of globalism, always crisscrossing the globe for work. Why do they even suppose that anybody would know, or care, the place they spend most of their time, anyway? Nobody’s going, like, “We will’t lose that Richard Gere man to Spain! Inform me who I must vote for to stop that!”
The singer Cher has stated that she’d depart if Trump gained as a result of the Trump present is simply too tense. Depart for the place? Who is aware of. A collection of luxurious inns, in all probability. As a result of though Cher has an enormous remoted mansion in Malibu, she all the time appears to be touring. Her ‘Farewell Tour’ was adopted by her ‘Right here We Go Once more’ tour, so her goodbyes in all probability shouldn’t be taken too severely. “When was Cher’s LAST farewell tour,” is definitely a urged Google search. Is actor and Trump critic Tom Hanks nonetheless round? Who cares, he’s been a twin citizen of Greece, anyway, the place he owns property since 2020.
Recreation of Thrones actress Sophie Turner stated that she’d transfer to the UK to flee Trump. Besides that she’s from there and is English. Did anybody even discover that she had ever left? Coming back from a protracted trip isn’t actually the identical factor as transferring.
First-generation Latina actress America Ferrera stated that, for her household’s sake, she’d transfer to the UK – fleeing Trump, to whom even Britain’s BBC certified Latinos as “flocking.” Guess she didn’t get the memo.
Oscar winner Sharon Stone stated over the summer season, whereas on the Taormina Movie Competition in Sicily, that she was pondering of transferring to Europe. “I’m deeply involved with what’s occurring in my nation now. This is likely one of the first instances in my life that I’ve truly seen anybody operating for workplace on a platform of hate and oppression,” she stated in reference to Trump. However Stone is already recognized for spending appreciable time in France, and the Portuguese press urged final 12 months that she had already invested in that nation’s actual property “to be neighbors with George Clooney” close to Lisbon.
The Western press has been buzzing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doubtlessly uprooting from their Montecito, California, mansion within the wake of Trump’s win – however they’ve lengthy been eyeing a spot in Portugal, the place Eugenie his cousin already lives together with her household.
If Trump hadn’t gained, nobody would have even doubtless observed the place these celebrities had been residing. And it’s debatable whether or not Hollywood itself is even related in any respect anymore in 2024, not to mention the political beliefs of these inside it. Folks appear extra all for watching one another’s home made movies on TikTok, a lot focused by Western governments as a result of they’ll’t management the China-based app, and which serves up natural range in comparison with the Hollywood choices that now mandate particular range necessities to be thought of for awards.
“At the least one of many lead actors or vital supporting actors submitted for Oscar consideration” must be “from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in a particular nation or territory of manufacturing” that’s non-white, in response to the Academy of Movement Image Arts and Sciences. Additionally, “At the least 30% of all actors not submitted for Oscar consideration” have to be “from a minimum of two underrepresented teams.” Such insurance policies would clarify, for example, the NBC Information headline from final 12 months: “Cleopatra was not Black, Egypt tells Netflix in rising feud forward of recent collection.”
Hollywood closed ranks with an omerta round Harvey Weinstein, ignoring his rampant sexual aggression for years, regardless of all their public preaching about feminism. Stars at awards present podiums cried in regards to the state of humanity whereas privately partying with the likes of P. Diddy, now dealing with federal expenses of intercourse trafficking and sexual abuse, and exploitation of girls.
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, entertainer Jennifer Lopez, spoke at a marketing campaign rally for Kamala Harris and stated that each Latino must be offended by a joke about Puerto Rico {that a} skilled comic made at Trump’s Madison Sq. Backyard rally. But Trump loved a 14-point bump on this demographic in comparison with 2020. Guess they know humor once they hear it – which might clarify why her “comedic” movie Gigli flopped in 2003 and, extra just lately, Shotgun Marriage ceremony on Netflix.
Performer Taylor Swift, arguably the most important celeb on this planet proper now, was going to completely crush Trump by endorsing Harris, it was urged. All her Swifties would dutifully fall in line like little bedazzled troopers. “I might be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz within the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris as a result of she fights for the rights and causes I imagine want a warrior to champion them,” Swift posted to Instagram on September 10.
What ended up occurring as an alternative is that followers of what a number of analysts have described as Swift’s ”white feminism” – white feminine voters – selected 53% in favor of Trump. Possibly they simply figured that the man whose main concern is to make sure that they’ve the flexibility to really afford the exorbitantly priced tickets to Swift’s concert events is extra related than Harris’ advantage signaling – pandering to ladies by speaking about abortion and to minorities by speaking like Foghorn Leghorn?
I do know what everybody’s pondering – who was the forged of that long-defunct present in regards to the pretend White Home, The West Wing, voting for? Properly, a minimum of they should’ve thought that’s what everybody’s pondering. Since they went to the difficulty of reuniting simply to star in a pro-Harris advert. “We select freedom. We select Kamala Harris,” they stated in a assertion, signed by the likes of Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, and Mary McCormack. The advert, that includes the notoriously anti-war Sheen, was backed by the Lincoln Venture, which is rife with neocons – bedfellows virtually as unusual as neocon Harris marketing campaign surrogate and former congresswoman, Liz Cheney, being advised by the left-leaning forged of ‘The View’ that she’d be an excellent secretary of protection, regardless of her help of the US-led wars that her dad, Dick, helped kick off.
Clearly, the election didn’t work out the way in which that many of those celebrities had hoped. Given their assets and choices, I’m positive they’ll recover from it, in whichever mansion they select to inhabit. They’d have gotten over it in any case – not like so most of the common individuals they finally failed to control.
