![]() I don't live in America so I don't know what the answer is...but...
Why are more celebrities in the US left leaning in their views? I really am not sure of the answer. I'd suggest perhaps celebrities are a bit more worldly. From what I can tell quite a lot of the US is rather insular. However those that have had the opportunity to travel maybe get more of a world view on issues. When Americans travel to Europe, Australia etc they come to understand that single payer health care systems and an empathetic welfare state aren't bad ideas after all. Until people witness ideas in action they tend to rely on what they are told by their 'team'. Perhaps the Hollywood elite are a bit more world cultured as they often have to travel abroad for filming and promotion and get a different side of the story. I'd be interested to know how many conservative Ledgies have visited Europe or even been outside the US.

![]() I'd like to advice to everyone in advance to stay on topic and also warn that if you keep making posts about Trump then they'll be moved to the Hot Topic thread because it was created exactly to avoid stumbling upon needless and unwanted political comments in threads that have nothing to do with them.
However I'm not really sure if the world of the famous leans truly more towards the left or if it's just perceived to be so because I've also always known about many many conservatives both young and old, for example Clint Eastwood, William Friedkin, Bruce Willis, Charlie Sheen, Mike Tyson, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Sammy Hagar and Gene Simmons immediately come to mind but there are surely more. I think a big part of one's political preference is represented by social background, as noted by Meryl Streep last year many of those "liberal" vips aren't american born and have grown in a place very different from the conservative (not necessarily meant as synonymous of "right-winger") US. |

Now for my shock!!!!!! CHARLIE SHEEN is conservative!!!!!!! EGADS!!!! No way!!! Someone who is constantly in open relationships with prostitutes and spent the majority of his life doing drugs. Liberals can have him. He even lied about being HIV positive to people he slept with. |

No they think they are more worldly and they are very pretentious. Hollywood is controlled by liberals. It’s called butt kissing. |

A significant number of outspoken Hollywood names are 'liberal'. I think we live in extreme times when plenty of people feel there is a need to speak out. I don't think it fair to say Hollywood is controlled by liberals though. Some of the most powerful people in the media industry are Republicans; Rupert Murdoch (and family)- 21st Century Fox, Leslie Moonves- CBS, Steve Burke- NBC Universal, Jeff Bewkes- Time-Warner, Peter Rice- Fox, Jerry Buckheimer, Chachi. Many/majority of the really biggest hitters in the media industry are supporters/donors for the Republican party. If people really are butt-kissing then maybe those kisses are misdirected. PS Just to give clarity- I'm sure you didn't mean sleeping with people and lying about your HIV is particularly a liberal trait. PPS Sister NR- Please feel free to move to Hot Topics. Cheers PPPS Jondalar- what countries have you visited????

However I have to say that both of them don't seem like people that are actually experts in politics and support a particular party, but more people who like to generically talk about current news and each time take a different side. |
