Part 5/11:
Elites within Hollywood are struggling to come to terms with their diminished influence. Oscar-winning director Adam McKay, known for his satirical film Vice, lashed out at the Democratic Party, criticizing their strategy and questioning their key decisions:
“Who would have guessed that lying about Biden’s cognitive health, refusing to hold an open convention, and ignoring critical issues like healthcare and fracking would be a winning strategy?”
McKay's frustration reflects a broader sense of disappointment and confusion among Hollywood insiders, many of whom once believed that their moral authority and star power could shape the nation’s political future.
