The Great Red Wave: Hollywood's Conservative Awakening

Hollywood is doing the unthinkable - going red. Not since the Reagan-era 80s has there been such an open rejection of identity politics

HOLLYWOOD'S RED REVOLUTION: THE A-LISTERS TURNING TRUMP AND GOING AGAINST WOKENESS

It's a bombshell moment in Tinseltown - the very fabric of Hollywood is shifting, and it's not just about the latest blockbuster movie or A-list celebrity romances. The city of angels has gone red, and we're talking about the kind that'll make your grandma blush.

For decades, Hollywood was known for its liberal leanings, but behind closed doors, many in the industry have been quietly supporting Donald Trump. And now, they're finally coming out to play.

Bud Light, nearly brought down by its partnership with Mulvaney, debuted a new, male-centric ad campaign at last year's Super Bowl starring Post Malone

Brian Grazer, the power player who produced the film adaptation of JD Vance's 'Hillbilly Elegy', has spilled the beans about his vote for Trump in 2024. The news is so explosive that it's like a bombshell dropped at an Academy Awards ceremony - jaws are dropping left and right.

In an exclusive interview, Grazer revealed to Fox Nation's documentary series 'Art of the Surge' that he confessed his intentions to some A-list friends, including women who were left speechless. "All the women looked in and said, 'You mean you're not voting for Kamala?' And I go, 'I just can't do that.' And then one of them leaned in further and said, 'Are you voting for Trump?' And I said, 'I am.' I swear!"

But Grazer isn't alone in his secret admiration for the Donald. Sources close to the industry reveal that plenty of other A-listers have been quietly supporting Trump, but they're too scared to come out publicly. Why? Fear of being canceled.

And Chris Pratt recently revealed that he is a fan of some of the policies put forth by his wife's cousin, Robert F Kennedy Jr

Take Sydney Sweeney, the 27-year-old actress who's one of Hollywood's newest superstars. She was targeted by woke Twitter for her American Eagle denim ad, with some even calling her a racist. But when it turned out she'd registered as a Republican in June 2024, all bets were off. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal magazine, Sweeney refused to discuss her politics, despite admitting she's "pretty blunt".

Is it because celebrities like her know that going against the woke crowd can be career-ending? After all, look at what happened to Howard Stern when he confessed his terror about Trump winning on air. His Late Show was canceled, and his reputation took a hit.

Even Disney got in on the action by firing Gina Carano after she posted right-leaning tweets - but it turned out she wasn't a racist or transphobic bigot as initially claimed. And what about Lena Dunham's Netflix show 'Too Much', which is tanking? Maybe her wokeness isn't working for her after all.

But what's really going on in Tinseltown is the great migration to Red America. Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind modern-day Western 'Yellowstone', is a perfect example of this shift. His show premiered during President Biden's first term and became a massive hit. He followed it up with 'Landman', set in Texas oilfields, which was renewed for Season 2.

And it's not just movies - Bravo's programming has been getting more mainstream, with the premiere of 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys' in June. Even Chris Pratt, the star of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, came out in support of Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he loves the MAHA movement and his wife's cousin's work.

But what about Netflix? Their biggest show isn't anything related to the Obamas or Meghan Markle - it's 'The Hunting Wives', a MAGA-adjacent soap set in Texas with guns as the main prop. Showrunner Rebecca Cutter revealed that she was asked if the show would appeal to both liberals and conservatives, and she confidently said yes.

This is the new Hollywood - where wokeness is no longer king, and being pro-Trump is cool again. So what's behind this shift? Is it a genuine change of heart or just a ploy for ratings?

One thing's for sure: the A-listers are finally coming out from their closets and taking a stance on politics. And it's not what you'd expect.

As one insider put it, "Hollywood is waking up to the fact that being pro-Trump isn't as scary as they thought. In fact, it might just be the key to success."

And so, the great migration continues - with more and more A-listers turning red every day. Who's next? Only time will tell.

But for now, one thing's clear: Hollywood has gone red, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Sources close to the industry reveal that the following celebrities have been quietly supporting Trump:

  • Brian Grazer
  • Chris Pratt
  • Taylor Sheridan
  • Rebecca Cutter (showrunner of 'The Hunting Wives')
  • Sydney Sweeney (although she refuses to discuss her politics)

Celebrities who've been canceled or had their careers affected by speaking out against woke culture:

  • Howard Stern (Late Show was canceled)
  • Gina Carano (fired from Disney's Lucasfilm company after posting right-leaning tweets)
  • Lena Dunham (her Netflix show 'Too Much' is tanking)
  • Dylan Mulvaney (his book 'Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer' flopped)

Disney's reaction to Gina Carano's firing and the controversy surrounding it:

"Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect." - Lucasfilm spokesperson
