Rash actions

The change of heart in Hollywood happened over time. The mostly conservative Hollywood of the pre–WW 2 years has become a mostly liberal Hollywood. The change accelerated during the McCarthy hearings in the early 1950’s. Far right wingers motivated by their fear of communism pushed to rid Hollywood of its Commies. Many actors were black listed based on accusations and innuendo. This was followed in 1952 by the Supreme Court ruling that films were a form of free speech. Studies show that creative people are removed from reality and it allows them to empathize with others. Combine that with virtue signaling and you have a modern day progressive. This combination permits these creative people to champion minorities without thinking through the possible results of their actions. Releasing repeat criminals into society because of some past real or perceived injustice glosses over the risk of another crime. Bringing in migrants because they are escaping an intolerable situation in their homeland opens the door to molesting women and girls on their trip, leading minors into harm, making big profits for cartels who get paid to bring people to the border and reap profits from drug sales not to mention the strain on schools and healthcare facilities. Empathy must be moderated with reason before action is taken. This will minimize the possible unintended consequences.
