Part 11/14:
Jimmy Kimmel’s evolution from a comedian to a politically unhinged figure exemplifies a larger shift where Hollywood personalities engage more deeply in partisan activism than ever before. His encouragement of protesters, his labeling of political opponents with derisive nicknames, and his blatant politicization of entertainment content all contribute to a polarized environment.
This phenomenon isn't limited to Kimmel; it’s indicative of a broader industry problem. Hollywood’s core audience, once predominantly liberal, now includes a significant conservative segment—particularly among younger viewers—who are increasingly turned off by explicit political messaging in entertainment.
