Not disagreeing, but we're both guilty of the anti-science bullshit. The Anti-Vaxxers are predominantly left leaning.

I mean look at the "third" party for the left, their leader jill stein is an anti-vaxxer...

Although she is because of libertarian ideology... are the libtarians anti-vaxx? I mean most of them are, but are thier leadership?

I know a lot of libertarians that are anti-vaxx. But not as many lefties.

However I Know more lefties that are staunchly anti, anti-vaxx than I do righties.... so its a bit muddy.

I just read about George RR Martin and he is a staunch democrat, even fully backed Hillary in 2016. he even criticizes Trump to this day.

This made me think on how nearly every writer, actor, actress, basically every artist I read about seems to be a democrat or socialist that leans to the left.

Why is this?

Hitler and bush are both excelent painters.

The right just realizes that you can be both an artist AND a contributing member of society at the same time.

because both are strongly correlated to trait openness

this, but also because creative expression is also associated with neuroticism and is often unproductive in any practical sense putting it at odds with conscientiousness, in which conservatives often rank higher, likely because views on individual responsibility.

Basically, you aren't going to create anything if you aren't curious, afforded ample free time or desperate for change ^^

Wow, you need to keep up on your pop culture! It's been a known fact Ted has been a raving conservative for years.

You don't recall his mad ravings about Obama all those years?

That's probably the most sensible explanation so far.

Because they want to make money and get hired for new roles in the future. Conservative actors get blacklisted, so they learn to lie or STFU.

Only conservatives that mouth off a lot about gays usually. It's about the gay thing. Hollywood = gay or gay-friendly. The Republican party has only just softened a bit on the LGBT marriage issue...they are still pretty openly anti-trans.

So the chickens came home to roost on that. You got the trailer trash vote but you lost Hollywood. And Hollywood is a big gay powerful friend.

Exactly.

How are you going to openly hate gays/trans then expect to be welcomed into one of the most gay/trans friendly social groups on the planet?

It has nothing to do with being conservative, it has everything to do with being a close-minded bigot.

Like, who's going to buy art...? A lefty libcuck who prances around like a fairy?

Or someone who tills the land and feeds the nation?
