The Legacy Media furrowed its digital brow following Election Day 2024.
Where is the Hollywood Resistance, article after article asked?
After President Donald Trump’s notable win against Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5, there was minimal backlash from celebrities. Unlike previous years, there were no Women’s Marches aiming to protest or cause destruction at the White House. Also missing were the pink hats symbolizing resistance that had been a common sight at protests across the country.
Some stars wouldn’t even be seen with the actor who portrayed Trump in “The Apprentice.”
That’s finally starting to change.
This awards season has given it a boost, allowing stars to share their views on important issues they care about. During the latest Grammy Awards ceremony, many took the opportunity to express their opinions.
During his hosting stint at the DGA Awards, filmmaker Judd Apatow took aim at President Trump, Elon Musk, and other Republican figures in a witty monologue that was met with applause.
We could take the opposite approach and be extremely critical of Trump,” he said. “Instead, let’s be hyper-aware and progressive in our thinking. I plan to create a third installment of Dune with LGBTQ+ sandworms.
An increasing number of artists are expressing frustration during press conferences. For instance, director Todd Haynes (“Safe”), while serving as the head of the jury at the Berlin Film Festival, cautioned voters about the supposed danger that Donald Trump presents.
Many people I’m connected with, both within the US and abroad, are deeply worried and shocked by the flurry of actions taken by the Trump administration during its first three weeks. It seems to me that one aim of these actions might be to destabilize and shock the public. As for how we unite various resistance efforts, this is still a work in progress among Democrats. I’m confident that there will be those who supported this president who will soon find themselves disappointed by his promises concerning economic stability in the US.
Not yet. Trump’s approval ratings suggest voters are on board with his actions to date.
Recently, The Kennedy Center, a well-known institution based in Washington D.C., has witnessed a change led by President Trump. This change includes the replacement of the majority of its existing board members, with Trump temporarily taking over as its leader. Additionally, Ric Grenell has been appointed as the interim Executive Director.
The response proved immediate.
- Issa Rae canceled her sold-out show, “An Evening with Issa Rae,” saying in an Instagram statement that Trump’s move is , “e an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums.”
- Ben Folds resigned as artistic advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra.
- Soprano Renée Fleming also resigned as an artistic adviser at large.
- TV Producer Shonda Rhimes left her position as board treasurer hours after Trump’s board takeover.
It’s yet uncertain whether the Oscars on March 2 will validate Hollywood Resistance 2.0. Previously, the Golden Globes broadcast seemed to bypass preachy speeches and self-righteousness. However, this was before President Trump escalated his activities.
One consistent domain where opposition persisted? Late-night television. Night after night, left-leaning talk show hosts repeatedly criticize Donald Trump’s actions.
The Hollywood Resistance 2.0 may finally be here, but things are different now.
In general, Americans have lost faith in traditional news outlets. During the 2024 election, podcasts seemed to hold greater influence compared to established media platforms like The Washington Post or CNN.
More importantly? Celebrity opinions can’t sway the masses as they once did.
Just ask former Vice President Harris.
