It seems like Hollywood’s glitter isn’t enough to dazzle everyone nowadays. The stars that once seemed untouchable are quickly losing their sparkle as more people see through the facade. Recently, discussions have heated up around celebrities like Bruce Springsteen, who appear keener on pleasing their Hollywood pals than connecting with the average Joe. Springsteen, who has made a legendary mark in music, apparently decided to take a detour to Europe to trash-talk the president. Odd choice, right?

This isn’t the first time a celebrity has attempted to sway the political tide—and failed. In past elections, a parade of celebrities lined up behind candidates like Kamala Harris, hoping to use their star power to influence the outcome. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, the public reacted with a collective yawn. It turns out, the red carpet isn’t as red-hot when it comes to political endorsements. Maybe folks just saw through the act. After all, they say Hollywood is the land of make-believe.

One can’t help but notice that the cultural zeitgeist is shifting. Once upon a time, Hollywood was the epitome of cool. Kids looked up to movie stars as the ultimate trendsetters. But with the internet pulling back the curtain, it becomes obvious that some of these idols are just folks in costumes playing pretend. Sure, there are exceptional actors who deserve recognition. Still, the antics of some Hollywood elites, who merely aim to echo chamber liberal dogma, are getting old fast.

This has opened the door for more varied and authentic voices to join the cultural conversation. The appeal of echoing the same old Hollywood rhetoric seems to be waning. Entertainers might start rethinking their strategy, especially those who can sense which way the wind is blowing. Some have even dared to dip their toes in the water after seeing people like Trump gain traction, hinting that a political shift could be in the making. People once cautious about revealing their true leanings are now feeling emboldened to speak up.

Could this be the dawn of a new era where entertainers align more with the average voter instead of elite cliques? Only time will tell. Until then, perhaps the best strategy is just to grab some popcorn and watch the show unfold. In the meantime, those on the right might just enjoy sitting back as the Democrats continue to bumble their way into making the absurd seem like the new normal. Instead of making more adversaries, maybe it’s time for everybody to join the bandwagon for some common sense. Who knows? Hollywood might just end up left on the cutting-room floor.
