Scott Baio is one bad-ass MFer!

President Trump does not have much of a fan club in Hollywood. Jennifer Lopez, Robert De Niro, John Legend, Miley Cyrus and countless others have spoken out about why they don’t support him.

Some of the celebrities who do actively back Trump, including Kristy Swanson, Dean Cain, Scott Baio and Isaiah Washington, sat down with the director of a new documentary filmed during the pandemic and amid the protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd, Trump vs. Hollywood, to talk about what that feels like.

Barak says she was inspired to make the movie after seeing so much division.

In the documentary’s first trailer, which was released Tuesday, former Lois and Clark actor Cain, gave his perspective: “There’s no compassion. They’re so hypocritical, it’s unreal. They just don’t like the man.”

Actress Swanson asked, “Why is it not OK in Hollywood to be a conservative?”

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star said she hopes for change.

“I feel that it’s time to set the example of let’s just all get along, ya know?” she said. “We can learn from each other. We don’t have to hate each other.”

When it was Charles in Charge star Baio’s turn, he was much less conciliatory: “If you’re not hiring me because I’m a conservative, shame on you. If there’s a civil war, then don’t forget who has all the guns.”

He also lamented, “It bothers me that people won’t speak to me, because I’m a Trump guy.”

For the same reason many drink Pepsi, eat at McDonald's, and wear the latest fads. People are sold an idea, an image, that is likely frivilous but can be not very safe, responsible, or supportable (smoking). But hey the billions in ads works for the gun industry. Guns will not make you safer when things really start to fly Scottie.

But you know for a fact what people who disagree with you are feeling, why they feel that way, and you've concluded that they're all a bunch of unreasoning dunces who have no basis in their position. They take their liberal or progressive stance just to piss you off. You personally. Even though you don't talk to them.

It's now that you should start to see the problem, Scott.

Maybe he should make movies starring himself. When they flop he can apply for some corporate welfare.

Oh but it is... especially if you're one of the money people that greenlights projects.

Hence the plethora of reality tv shows and superhero movies.

and for the most part it wasn't a big deal, but Trump is not a conservative and never has been. These celebrities are Trumpists, they aren't conservatives. They are also uninformed whiny babies.

If repugs were smart they wouldn't be repugs.

Artists, almost by definition don't lean right. One can't be creative if you're always selfishly scheming how to do dirt and screw people.

Scott Baio can tell himself that no one is hiring him because he's a Trump guy if he wants to. The real reason is of course that he is a no talent has been.
