Hollywood's Political Landscape is Complex: While some Hollywood celebrities are strongly liberal, others are socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Some keep their conservative views private due to industry pressures and fear of backlash.
The entertainment industry, particularly Hollywood celebrities, may not be as uniformly liberal as they appear. While some hold strongly liberal beliefs, many are more socially liberal on issues like gay marriage and abortion.

The replaceable nature of their roles in the industry further reinforces this trend.
