@dalias @emma So, what any given group of voters want doesn't really matter except that they're sizeable enough of a group to provide cover that lets the ruling class do what it wants. There is a shift in the ruling classes in the US, but there is also a shift in what the existing ruling class (like studio CEOs) would like to see.
I used "cultural shift" because it describes what's happening without getting into the "why" because that's a much longer and more involved conversation.
