As suggested at left, if you want us to believe that traditional country music artists singers are predominantly Trump supporters, we’ll accept that. If I were selling — whatever — to largely uneducated white people, I myself might succumb to the temptation to pretend that Trump is OK with me.
And yes, there are a few Hollywood actors that love Trump too. But outside of Nashville and a few meanspirited crackpots out here in California, there is essentially zero support for the president in the entertainment industry.
Why?
First of all, America still dominates the world in terms of music and film, and the people outside the U.S. have a general loathing for Trump and his criminality.
On top of that, about two-thirds of U.S. voters, right here at home, despise the president, as they realized long ago that he’s essentially a conman.
Expecting people who love music, movies, dogs, science, children, and compassion for other people to accept Trump is a pipedream.
The Entertainment Industry Consists of a Few Trump Supporters, but They’re Unequally Distributed
In an average month, I meet at least one person who is homeschooling their child. I’m always tempted to ask about their reasoning, but I don’t, as it would bring up politics in at least 90% of cases, and I don’t like to alienate people by putting them on the defensive.
They probably know that homeschooling comes at a cost in terms of depriving the kid of the socialization that comes along with being surrounded with children their own age, but they believe they are protecting their kid from the multiplicity of dangers in public, and perhaps worse, private schools, starting with required vaccinations, then continuing into indoctrination into godlessness, socialism, science, and questioning the morality of America.
Obviously, as U.S. citizens, we have an extremely broad range of rights when it comes to how we raise our children. If we keep them fed and get them medical treatment when required, we’re home free.
If I had any inclination whatsoever to challenge these people, I’d ask about their proficiency with history, writing, and math. Even the common MAGA parent can teach his kid to read at a basic level and get through the multiplication tables, but how well is he equipped to take on geometry and the developments made by the Sumerians?
Clearly, such a discussion on this topic could get ugly very quickly.
To me, a pride flag says, “We accept LGBTQ people, and we bear them no malice.”
That seems just fine.
The fellow in this video asserts that Donald Trump’s dumbest lie is that the cost of things like gas and groceries have fallen since he took office, since it is so provably false, and is directed the MAGA base.
I’ll grant that the typical Trump supporter doesn’t care if the president is all over the Epstein files, or that the war with Iran was stupid and illegal. But there is no evidence that there is any more than a trickle of disaffection over consumer prices.
