All that Hollywood A-listers’ did for Harris didn’t convey her to workplace and a few of them are actually threatening to depart 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 movie star endorsements. Others promise to bail in a foreign 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 instructed 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 really an fascinating debate. One {that a} man who lives in a gated mansion on 32 acres, with 11 bogs, a visitor cottage, and a pool, could be inclined to indulge, lengthy earlier than having to fret about really grappling with the extra obvious and urgent facets of the immigration concern that the typical citizen faces.
Trump’s reelection means that voters are too fed up with grossly unmanaged or mismanaged immigration to concern themselves with the small print. Which can also be why the typical American didn’t lose their thoughts just like the institution did over Trump’s remarks about Haitian migrants in Ohio consuming folks’s pets. They only ripped off the audio of Trump’s voice and made movies on TikTok starring their very own pets wanting shocked about the potential of being eaten. Debate raged about whether or not the assertion was even true, nevertheless it introduced the immigration concern to the forefront and, in any case, folks had been going to vote based mostly on their private perceptions. Which might at the very least partly clarify why Trump ended up successful in Ohio by 12 factors over Harris. In the meantime, Gere was fidgeting 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 wish 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 buddies are among the greatest beneficiaries of globalism, continuously crisscrossing the globe for work. Why do they even assume that anybody would know, or care, the place they spend most of their time, anyway? Nobody’s going, like, “We are able to’t lose that Richard Gere man to Spain! Inform me who I must vote for to forestall that!”
The singer Cher has stated that she’d go away if Trump received as a result of the Trump present is simply too worrying. Go away for the place? Who is aware of. A collection of luxurious resorts, 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 prompt 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 an extended 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 taking place in my nation now. This is without doubt one of the first instances in my life that I’ve really 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 prompt final yr 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 received, nobody would have even probably seen the place these celebrities had been dwelling. 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. Individuals appear extra desirous about watching one another’s do-it-yourself movies on TikTok, a lot focused by Western governments as a result of they will’t management the China-based app, and which serves up natural variety in comparison with the Hollywood choices that now mandate particular variety necessities to be thought-about for awards.
“At the least one of many lead actors or important 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, based on 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 at the very least two underrepresented teams.” Such insurance policies would clarify, as an example, the NBC Information headline from final yr: “Cleopatra was not Black, Egypt tells Netflix in rising feud forward of latest 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 concerning the state of humanity whereas privately partying with the likes of P. Diddy, now going through federal costs 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 needs to 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 not too long ago, Shotgun Wedding ceremony on Netflix.
Performer Taylor Swift, arguably the most important movie star on the earth proper now, was going to completely crush Trump by endorsing Harris, it was prompt. All her Swifties would dutifully fall in line like little bedazzled troopers. “I can 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 consider want a warrior to champion them,” Swift posted to Instagram on September 10.
What ended up taking place 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. Perhaps they simply figured that the man whose main concern is to make sure that they’ve the power to really afford the exorbitantly priced tickets to Swift’s concert events is extra related than Harris’ advantage signaling – pandering to girls 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 concerning the pretend White Home, The West Wing, voting for? Properly, at the very least 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 Undertaking, which is rife with neocons – bedfellows virtually as unusual as neocon Harris marketing campaign surrogate and former congresswoman, Liz Cheney, being instructed by the left-leaning forged of ‘The View’ that she’d be an awesome secretary of protection, regardless of her assist of the US-led wars that her dad, Dick, helped kick off.
Clearly, the election didn’t work out the best way that many of those celebrities had hoped. Given their sources 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 – in contrast to so most of the common folks they in the end failed to control.
