Hollywood has been widely known as having a leftwing cultural facade since the end of WW2 (and the waves of migration that came with it). Likewise almost every popular musician since the 1960s counter culture has been leftwing.
Before then you had the politics of the 1950s which was traditionalist to the point that women couldn’t even wear pants. It was considered a cultural affront to the culture.
Why you’re denying all this history I don’t know. You’re probably just ignorant and decided to spit venom online rather than take a moment to ask what represents popular cultural power.
Or you just don’t think 2nd wave feminism, the civil rights movement, and hippies were leftwing because they’re not the by your nodern standards. No, the left have been in cultural hegemony for most of living memory, at least since the big cultural landmarks of the 60s and 70s.

You should check out some Pre-Code movies, Hollywood was actually even more openly left-wing in the early 30’s. Like “heroic union organizer comes to town and chases out the capitalists, gets the girl” type plots. The Hays Code was as much about preventing socialism as it was about anything else.
No I didn’t say the black panthers, nor was black civil rights the only thing I mentioned as an EXAMPLE of the big cultural wins of the left in the 1960/70s.
Anyways, I don’t talk to people operating in bad faith, word twisting, and denial of the obvious. Go argue with a history book.

Yes back when they still remembered having to flee the east coast from Thomas Edison’s lawsuits and Pinkertons.
Back when radio and print media had a greater hold on the culture. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
if left wing is like, I dunno, the artsy children of music production middle managers, sure.
No they are. When were the black Panthers in charge of culture?

if you think treating people equally is left wing, I think I see the problem
