Why are so many entertainers so pro-Democrat?

Help me understand, why are so many in the entertainment industry so heavily invested in Democrats?

The only reason I can think of is DRUGS. The more serious a politician is about stopping the illegal drug flow and distribution the louder the voices from the entertainment industry against that politician.

Creative minds typically aren't conservative

@MethDozer Exactly. No matter the medium, you need to think outside the box to be recognized and succeed. And typically conservatives, particularly the MAGA version, want to crowd everyone into the same box, slam the lid on, and tie chains around the box.

@dancingtongue yep, conservatisim and creativity are opposite traits.

@MethDozer Not entirely, but generally. There are some great conservative minds, you just don't tend to find them in politics these days because true conservatives -- like true liberals -- realize that politics is the art of the possible: debating, finding common grounds to build consensus and compromising in order to govern, provide statesmanship.

Unfortunately what passes for politics these days -- on both sides of the aisle -- is pure theatrics, And not of the entertaining type.

@dancingtongue I disgree and think that's the centrist myth/daydream but I repsect your opinion.

Politics isnt any kind of art, it's a set of morals and principles

@MethDozer I appreciate that, and respect your opinion.

And that was how it used to be once the election was over: the campaigning stopped and instead of finger-pointing and labeling, there was a real effort to find middle ground from which to govern and lead. And that truly is an art, imho. But a lost art, unfortunately.
