Bullshit. I can say with a high level of certainty that the vast majority of Trump voters care more about your rights than you care about theirs, and probably more than you care about your own.

Just because you created the "Trump voter caricature" does not mean you got it right. So get over yourself. When you live in a fake world for so long, you begin to think it is real.
I am not the least bit disappointed to see Hollywood, the great land of pretend and pretension, in such a state. As Miles stated in the earlier response, we are past the point of hypotheticals. And your industry will likely die a slow death as a result.
I'm pretty sure "you" is those dumb Hollywood creators and not the writers of this blog (Peter and Peter). Just making sure :)
Yes there is a weird kind of ignorant stereotype among the left which manifests as twisted cartoons, descriptions, phony anecdotes, etc., all attempting to paint conservatives as evil people.
Strangely, many of the left are flocking to Florida to enjoy the open, mandate-free environment and get away from the high crime and dysfunctional social conditions of their own miserable blue cities and states. Hopefully they will just spend some money then leave, and not stay to f*** up their clean new place as they did the old one.
Correct. But I wouldn't call them dumb as much as willfully ignorant.
I'm also trying to figure out where the Yellowstone/1883 emergence fits in this. Both series seem to be harkening back to the "old school" of hard work, sacrifice, and self-reliance (granted, Yellowstone takes that to an extreme) and both series seem to be resonating extremely well. While I wouldn't call either one "anti-woke", they are both, at best, ambivalent to "wokeness". Has the dearth of such messages over the last 10 years created a thirst for them now?
Taylor Sheridan is the producer of Yellowstone. He just recently purchased the 6666 Ranch in Texas. He is telling authentic stories that interest many people who have not been previously exposed to this life style. He has done a great job of integrating diversity & inclusion in the show (the bunk house on Dutton Ranch has 3 women and 1 man of color - in addition to the dreaded white man). There are also Native Americans represented well. BUT - he is accomplishing this by being authentic in the stories, not shoving it down people’s throats.
I'm guessing the 6666 ranch will replace Hollywood as the major movie production location in the US in the next 10 years. It is HUGE. I think the line used by John Dutton in one of the episodes from early in season 4 (?) about their ranch needing to generate income from sources other than cattle was as much, or more, about the 6666 ranch.
And you are right about the authenticity angle - the characters are so believable (Teeter is great, as are Mo and Rainwater). I'm not sure how he does it, but Sheridan certainly captures that lifestyle very well. His work on 1883 is amazing.
My wife and I just started breed reining quarterhorses, and the market for them has really heated up in the last year. Rumor has it Sheridan is driving the market right now. I'm sure it will come down in the next few years, but for now it's way up there. (We got into the business before the market went up so don't have unrealistic expectations!)
Bragg was elected, and not picked by Adams. But Adams just lost any confidence that I had in him when he justified giving his brother a $240K job in NYPD because "I need special protection from white supremacists".
One thing Hollywood makes clear time and time again is that, every time they create an alleged conservative character, they make it crystal clear that they have absolutely NO CLUE whatsoever who or what a conservative really is, really thinks, really believes.

Best of luck with your horse breeding enterprise.
I’ve got 1883 on my to watch list.
Saw the first episode and it was great.
Thanks, I'll check those out.
Nazi Pelosi bought a seaside (global warming, anyone?!) mansion, so she plans to stay and f*** up the place.

I'm going to miss loathing Bill DeBlasio. Everyone needs a hobby.

Amazing at this point they have no understanding or interest in what is driving the MAGA movement.
