Hollywood Strike's the Perfect Time for Conservatives to Strike out on Their Own for EntertainmentBy Jerry Wilson
July 20, 2023
The news that Netflix missed its 2023 second-quarter revenue goals may seem even less relevant to the average working man or woman than a Kardashian’s love life, or for that matter, the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ union strike (WAG and SAG-AFTRA). However, a deeper dive into the matter reveals how the pop culture complex’s continuous disrespect of conservative and traditional values has become the proverbial turning worm and a genuine opportunity for conservatives to regain a portion of the entertainment marketplace most commonly considered forever lost.

Combine the above with the open disdain major content creators demonstrate toward conservatives and traditional values. Even as they are hemorrhaging red ink, the major studios will not stop insulting vast swaths of their potential audience. They cannot help themselves. They are so addicted to their ideology and utterly convinced of their righteousness that they dismiss the cratering revenue numbers and believe all is well. It isn’t. At least for them.
This is where the opportunity for conservatives and holders of traditional values enters the frame.

As Jason Aldean has noted in that song everyone is talking about, small-town people take care of their own. So do conservatives. So do Christians. Now is the perfect time for conservatives and believers to crank up the creative process, bypassing the major studios and streaming services. Unlike allegedly conservative politicians who still seek to curry the media’s favor, genuine conservative artists and Christians — especially the latter — know the world hates their guts and always will. So let the world be. Make your own films, shows, and music. Never settle for anything less than top-drawer quality. Create your own streaming channels and distribution networks. Consumers, spend your money on people who don’t belittle you.
