re: #32 philosophus invidius

I thought Hollywood actors were “out of touch” with America.

They are, unless they are not. The views of people can shift based on whether the actor is expressing their view or not. Thus some on the left thoughlessly accused Charlton Heston of racism when he was president of the NRA, though all biographies of him have shown that he strongly believed in racial equality. In the same way, some religious conservatives who had previously condemned Kid Rock’s music applauded him loudly when his song “Born Free” was adopted as the theme song of Mitt Romney’s campaign. Since the election, though, they’ve likely gone back to hating him.
