Why is Hollywoodand the entertainment industry in generalso monolithically left-wing How did this happen Why are we at this point What can we do about it
The answer Build a new Hollywood.
With apologies to Ronald Reagan, the most terrifying words in the English language are: Im from Hollywood and Im here to help.
The great majority of Americans have an appetite for entertainment outside Hollywoods left-wing ideology, that at its core promotes: America bashing, religious bashing, self-guilt, and an alternative view of a shared history. Americans want entertainment that does not demean them, their beliefs, or their country. Now is the time to change the game from the inside and build a new Hollywood.
