exceptions. But you can name secret—or in a few cases, not-so-secret—conservatives on two hands. Republicans have a few Hollywood stars—Clint Eastwood, Dwayne Johnson, Donald Trump, Adam Sandler, Jon Voight, Gene Simmons, Vince Vaughn, Patricia Heaton, Bruce Willis, and Stephen fucking Baldwin. Democrats have just about everyone else.
    Like, everyone.
    Democratic donors include Sting, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, Cameron Diaz, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, and Bruce Springsteen. In 2011, celebs including Will Smith, Jack Black, Eva Longoria, Magic Johnson, Quincy Jones, and Danny DeVito attended a $35,800-per-plate fundraiser for Obama. At the Soul Train Awards, Jamie Foxx got so drunk on Obama’s Kool-Aid that he called the president “our lord and savior.”
    Not to be outdone, comedian Chris Rock came out and said, “I am just here to support the President of the United States. President of the United States is, you know, our boss. He’s also, you know, the president and the first lady are kinda like the mom and the dad of the country and when your dad says something, you listen.”
    I think Chris may have skipped a few civics lessons. In a self-governing society, the people are the “boss” of the so-called political leadership. There’s a reason why the office is one of “president” and not “king.” Or “dad,” I suppose.
    Russell, of course, was all in for Obama too. He designed a shirt for Obama’s campaign in 2008 and another in 2012. He hosted fundraising events, tweeted out support, and advocated for the campaign. Right before the election, he hosted a mixtape called Yes We Can (you can’t make this shit up) featuring Talib Kweli, Kanye West, Wale, Busta Rhymes, and others. Hollywood’s richest director, Steven Spielberg, donated $100,000 to the Obama campaign. Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour co-hosted a fundraiser for him in the West Village. DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg donated $2 million to an Obama Super PAC; Bill Maher donated $1 million; Harvey Weinstein was one of Obama’s biggest bundlers.
    I have no idea how they can actually criticize Mitt for being wealthy, but they somehow managed to do it with a straight face.
    In fact, I’d say the “Hollywood elite” like the people sitting at Bungalow 8 that night were Obama’s main weapon in 2012. But their mindless devotion to him contradicts the way they actually live.
    For example, Russell got physically ill over my dead pheasant photo, but do you think for one second he got sick at the ultra violent movies his best friends make? After all, there’s more gun violence in an hour on American movie, television, and computer screens than in the entire United States in a year. I think these movies are awesome because they’re just one big gun ad for the NRA after another. You’d think these stars would be the most pro-gun, pro-NRA people in the nation. Instead, they hate the NRA with more fervor than they hate al Qaeda—and frequently compare the two. They advocate for tighter gun restrictions, demand terrorists get out of Gitmo, and walk around with armed bodyguards.
    And it never occurs to them that what they’re doing on screen might actually contribute to the gun violence they claim to hate. (Oh yeah, I should add that Jamie Foxx’s movie Django Unchained debuted a month after he called Obama his savior. It somehow managed to have sixty-four grisly deaths in a mere 165 minutes.)
    And don’t get me started on this “green” trend.
    The Hollywood elite have gigantic homes, luxury SUVs, exotic sports cars, and live in thirty-thousand-square-foot mansions with infinity pools. They fly in private jets across the globe—sometimes just for lunch. (Oh, and at Bungalow 8, of course, they might have avoided the paparazzi by taking the helicopter home.)In other words, their carbon footprint is bigger than Sasquatch’s,
