How does this...How do you even...What...I'm...I don't even know where to begin. What's next, a 100% tariff on videogames outside of the USA? Lmfao. I thought the right hated Hollywood too! Holy shit man I can't believe anyone can look at this guy and think he is smart, except fellow idiots.

These people are dumb as fuck.

The right has spent almost the entire period since World War II ended demonizing Hollywood, and California in general. Reagan was a snitch for HUAC. Dalton Trumbo spent 11 months in a federal prison in Kentucky for refusing to cooperate with HUAC (there's an excellent movie called Trumbo, starring Bryan Cranston as Dalton Trumbo, that you might want to check out).

And that's just a small part of the entire Hollywood blacklist under McCarthyism. Most well-known persons nowadays on that combined list are probably Orson Welles and Harry Belafonte.

Also, there's the whole Charlie Chaplin smear campaign from HUAC, which resulted in him being denied re-entry into the US. Sounds familiar?
