If there's one thing we know for certain about the overwhelming majority of actors in Hollywood, it's that they are deeply committed to agreeing with whatever liberal consensus demands.
Whatever the left-wing cause of the day might be, they are happy to comply. They dutifully wore their Ukraine flag pins at Awards shows after Russia invaded. They wore Palestinian flags after Hamas attacked Israeli civilians and killed over 1,000 innocent people. And then followed it up with "ICE Out" pins when that became the progressive issue of the moment.
One of the more common left wing positions proudly rejects obvious biological reality. For example, that males can become females, or that atransgender personputting on traditionally feminine clothing or adopting feminine hairstyles makes them female."Harry Potter"writerJ.K. Rowling, despite being on the political left herself, has steadfastly refused to accept that premise. And while many are content to agree quietly, she's put her money and reputation where her mouth is.
Rowling has made it her goal on social media to defend women's rights and spaces, and as such, has become one of the most hated figures by the online left. And the online left effectively controls Hollywood. With John Lithgow, the actor playing "Dumbledore" in HBO's new "Harry Potter" series proving that there's no end to The Compliance, no matter how absurd.

Left-wing entertainment publicationDeadlinepublished an article on Lithgow's cowardice, saying that Rowling's association with "Harry Potter" and "anti-transgender" views have "plagued the show’s production."
They then quoted Lithgow in a recent interview, who said he accepted the role because the book series is "clearly on the side of the angels, against intolerance and bigotry."
Well, Lithgow's being forced through yet another struggle session, because he's also part of another project with a "non-binary" actor. In "Jimpa," he plays a gay grandfather to a transgender grandchild, because of course he does. That non-binary actor said that participating in "Harry Potter" was "vaguely hurtful," mentioning Lithgow by name, "It was definitely a difficult moment in time. I don’t think it’s worth speaking to John’s reasoning by any means, but I do also think that it’s a strange decision, for sure. And also I found it disconcerting, maybe, is the right word."
The New York Timesexplains his reasoning by writing that "He assumed his loyalties were clear," because he'd performed in stories with "queer" themes. The article continues, explaining that "Lithgow considered quitting the series but decided not to."
Don't worry about his commitment to left-wing politics, according to theTimes"He's written three books of light verse excoriatingDonald J. Trump." The second book might be one of the most cringe things ever written. "Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown," which was "published in 2020, includes couplets like this one: ‘He wanted a robe made of ermine and velvet. / The Constitution? He wanted to shelve it.’"
