Good news! Dems turn to Hollywood for help with ‘messaging and turnout’

If you were even remotely engaged in the events surrounding the last election, you probably received at least one left-wing diatribe from a Hollywood multi-millionaire. For most of 2016, you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting an actor, singer, producer or director who was berating you about Hillary Clinton. Their pro-Hillary message was central to the Democratic convention, campaign events, comedy shows, and get-out-the-vote efforts. It culminated in those nauseating Joss Whedon-directed ads where celebrities lectured you about your vote. Obviously, it didn’t work. The propaganda may have played well in the bubble but, out in the real world, people were absolutely fed up with the Dems’ Hollywood machine. Not only did the effort fail to drag Hillary across the finish line, it probably ended up hurting her chances.
