The MAGA people attacking Hollywood is such a big mistake. Yes I know the average celebrity doesn’t share their views, but that doesn’t change the fact that Hollywood projects American culture around the world in a way that the government could never do itself. Movies and music made here are so often cited as the reason why young people around the world idealize America and want to emulate us (buy our clothes, speak…

You don't get it. The tariffs are intended to PROTECT Hollywood.

Local US film industry is dying because it's all offshored.

I live in a country that is leeching off the US film industry with subsidies. Our country benefits at the expense of American jobs.

I completely agree-growing up, I admired the values I saw in American movies. It might sound amusing, but shaping young minds through film has been a key way the United States built its global influence. Hollywood movies have long served as powerful vehicles for transmitting American customs, ideals, and cultural values to audiences around the world

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nope. They just put the dumbest man alive in charge of an entire nation, and cheer him on every time he proclaims himself the smartest man alive.

Wrong. Not Sure got appointed to identify and fix the crops issue by the US president Camacho. I can't believe these words have been said on HN.
