Hollywood’s bigwigs are finally waking up to reality. After years of pushing “woke” stories and left-wing politics, audiences are tuning out. Conservative commentator Emily Austin says the “go woke, go broke” trend is hitting Hollywood hard. She points to the Trump Effect as a key reason for the shift.
Big studios are scrambling to ditch the diversity programs they once bragged about. Disney dropped its “inclusion” rules for executives. Warner Bros. changed its DEI office to just “inclusion” to avoid backlash. Paramount erased race and gender quotas. Hollywood knows their old messaging isn’t selling anymore.
Viewers are sick of lectures hidden in movies and TV shows. Instead of political correctness, they want good stories. Shows like Tim Allen’s “Shifting Gears” are hits because they focus on humor, not activism. Amazon brought back Trump’s old show “The Apprentice.” Even A&E is reviving “Duck Dynasty.” These choices prove where the real demand lies.
President Trump’s policies are pushing the change. His team is cracking down on things like drag queen events at the Kennedy Center. Trump took charge there himself, saying he’ll keep it from going “woke.” The message is clear: Hollywood’s far-left agenda doesn’t fly with mainstream America.
Stars who used to trash Trump are staying quiet now. At the Oscars, no one dared to criticize him. Julia Roberts clammed up about politics at an awards show in Paris. Even Beyoncé and Taylor Swift aren’t spouting off like before. Trump’s toughness has left liberals in Hollywood scared to speak out.
Money talks, and studios are broke. After years of losing viewers, they’re cutting costs. Woke projects get axed first. Movies about Trump used to get fast-tracked by streamers. Now, films like “The Apprentice” can’t find buyers. When a Melania Trump documentary gets a deal but anti-Trump movies flop, the lesson is obvious.
Hollywood’s leaders see the writing on the wall. They’re quietly dropping the activism to save their skins. One insider said companies still care about diversity but won’t shout about it. Others admit the “woke” push was never real—just a PR stunt. Now, they’re racing to win back red-state fans who left in disgust.
Emily Austin cheers this turnaround. She says Trump’s influence is saving entertainment from self-destruction. With hits like “Shifting Gears” and revivals of red-blooded shows, Hollywood might finally learn. Ditch the lectures, tell good stories, and the audience will return. The Trump Effect is proving that common sense still sells.
