There seems to be a real concerted effort to mass-trick celebrities into seeming MAGA. From Daily Wire movies using fake production companies and scripts to lock actors into contracts to headlines that misrepresent real quotes.

I was disappointed about Danny Trejo's pro-ICE movie. But his son said they used faked names and an altered script. At 82 Trejo had no idea what Daily Wire was even if they'd been honest. Now he's locked into a contract with strict non disparagement clauses, and many others seem to be trapped too.

I saw a headline about Brad Bird leaving Disney because "they got political and abandoned their principles." It was an anecdote about the 90s when office politics made him deal with managers who didn't care about animation principles like squash and stretch. He didn't leave Pixar because of woke.

Right after that I saw a post about how Daniel Radcliffe was raging against woke remakes changing characters to be black. It was him when he was 20 talking about the hair color of a dang horse. That is Onion article levels of willfully misunderstanding. I don't think it's all a coincidence.

They just don't have ANYbody "cool" really. They have to steal. The actual for-real MAGA "celebrities" are Jon Voigt. The recent musical ones -- I'm willing to withhold fully saying they Like it. They seem to be compromised in some way. Which could also be Really Bad, but they ain't believers.

I had a Media 101 instructor who impressed upon me two quotes that I never forgot; "You'll never get another Post-Dispatch," and "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you read." I'm not skeptical because I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical because I HAVE to be.

That said, Rob Jennifer Harvey Nick and Brad, if I was tricked into a Daily Wire hate-propaganda contract, I'd walk and take the lawsuit. I'd rather lose my house. I'm more concerned with actors being more careful about what they agree to than us judging them, but it's calculated to wear us down.
