    Voting for communism isn't centrist. Fuck the Rock.

    I don't think that's it ...

    I think there are a lot of people that don't view what the Democratic Party is promoting as Socialism/Communism ... or don't feel that that can happen in the US

    I know that there are a lot of people that view Trump as a mean bully and feel that the Office of the Presidency requires a certain way of treating people.

    I suspect that's more what The Rock is basing his decision on ... but who really knows.

    This is the most fucked up election of at least my lifetime ... significantly more fucked up than 2016.
    Try and be on top of Hollywood like The Rock is and endorse a Conservative. Your career will drop like a rock. No pun intended.

    He has no choice. It is easy for him. Make hundreds of millions or go to the lines for casting calls.

    That's only true if you're a mediocre talent like James Woods. Clint Eastwood can ramble to a chair at the RNC and Hollywood will still finance and distribute his shit. Both the Rock and Clint can do whatever the fuck they want.
    Eastwood went totally independent after his Obama chair thing and financed other projects on his own. American Sniper wasn’t funded by a Hollywood studio, but rather Clint’s production company that brought on executive producers.

    James Woods went to MIT and dropped out his senior at the suggestion to act from Ben and Casey Affleck’s dad. What a backstory. That’s a movie in itself.

    From the production side, sure, Clint has enough fuck you money that he doesn't need any help. But Warner Bros still distributed all his big movies. They don't care if he's a right winger, they care about how much box office he'll command.

    The only notable exception I can think of to Hollywood's money over ideology priority is Mel Gibson. Turns out anti-semitism is the one stance you can take that will get you a decade-long blacklist from any industry predominantly run by Jewish men.

    The NBA can silence rich owners/GMs from saying #FreeHongKong and Lebron (billionaire? face of the NBA) still bows to China.

    Hollywood has a hierarchy that allows for guys like Weinstein and Spacey to openly abuse people for decades and no one do anything.

    They can take a white hot actress like Jennifer Lawrence and lock her out once they used her up and all her nudes leaked.

    Its not some OBK shit, but there is a hierarchy of control that 100% have the ability to lock guys like the Rock out...

    People are mostly the same, rich people are just as scarred to lose their 15 million dollar mansion as the teacher down the street is of losing their shitty 200K home.

    Well the first example you noted is completely consistent with the notion of money over ideology. Hollywood and the NBA both bow to China for the very same reason.

    I'd argue the same is true for the second. As soon as the market decided they were no longer going to tolerate rapists like Weinstein and Spacey, they were no longer profitable and dumped by the wayside.

    Point being - the Rock is a money generating machine. If he was conservative it wouldn't be a problem in today's environment because he'd still print money no matter how many loony liberals decided they were going to boycott his movies. Take an anti-Chinese stance on the other hand? Yeah, he might find himself in hot water.

    I doubt the Rock was forced to endorse Biden.

    If an entertainer has an opinion that's fine. If you publicly endorse people using your fame to influence people I may well quit spending my money on your movies etc. Chances ya take!
