Ricky Gervais said anyone 'mildly conservative' on Twitter is labeled as 'Hitler'

The whole conservative "Hollywood hates us, boo hoo...

..."... is a red herring (are you allowed to use Red and conservative together? Oh, wait, ... yes, GOP states are Red states... might also explain the GOP fixation on appeasing Putin...

...); In Hollywood there is no Blue or Red at the core: the only color is green. If you put butts in the seats, eyes on the screens, and bucks in the banks, they really don't care about the politics of the actors, directors, etc.; there are plenty of conersvatives in Hollywood, many of them very prominent:

Hollywood Congress of Republicans --

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollyw...of_Republicans

The HCR homepage:

http://hollywoodrepublicans.com/about-hcr/

In the Wikipedia link above, note the list of some of the GOP members; a very good many of them don't seem to be suffering at all from the touted 'liberal bias'...

The actor Gary Sinise, who also doesn't appear to be starving under liberal oppression started another Hollywood GOP/conservative group called "The Friends of Abe", but the group split apart when Trump was elected and the members couldn't agree on supporting him...

Friends Of Abe --

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_Abe

BTW, did you know absolutely nobody knew Abraham Lincoln was a Republican until Trump revealed it... true fact...

The conservative presence in Hollywood goes way back to the very beginnings of the industry; director D. W. Griffith was an arch conservative, white supremacist, and segregationist who used his 1915 film Birth Of A Nation (original title; The Clansman) to glorify the Ku Klux Klan and demean Blacks (BTW, The Birth Of A Nation also gave the KKK their current look; the KKK was a rather motley crew snd Griffith wanted a more 'cinematic' look to the film's Klan characters, so his costume designer was ordered to come up with the now infamous costumes); the early decades of Hollywood are rife with conservative memes in regard to racial, and religious intolerance; it wasn't until after WW2 that the pendulum swung back to address the more overt and odious depictions...

Then there are the Cold War years when the Red Hunt was ongoing and many prominent Hollywood conservative celebrities formed this group:

Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals --

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion...merican_Ideals

The main purpose of the MPAPAI was to present a unified conservative front with the goal of outing alleged Communists to the McCarthy Era HUAC witch hunts...

The claims by Hollywood conservatives and their non-Hollywood backers of undue suppression rings hollow when you read the listings of the individuals involved in conservative cause in Hollywood don't seem to be suffering much at all, if at all; those who have not fared so well, if you dig a bit deeper are known in the industry for other things that make them unhirable or of dubious character...

Bottom line: In Hollywood Red and Blue lose out big time to Green...
