The movie industry and Democrat Party are stubbornly making the same mistakes in their bids to address their plummeting popularity, comedian and commentator Greg Gutfeld says.
In Tuesday’s episode of Fox News Channel’s “Gutfeld,” the late-night host likened “Variety” magazine’s suggestion that selling pot and allowing texting would attract more moviegoers to the Democrat Party’s response to its 2024 election loss and declining popularity with the American public.
Gutfeld used the disastrous box office failure of this year’s woke iteration of “Snow White” as an example:
“Disney will lose hundreds of millions on ‘Snow White,’ because they were more concerned with being woke than being watchable.
“Plus, it doesn’t help that the new Snow White thinks she’s [radical leftist] Joy Reid with hair.”
“Hollywood thinks we’re idiots for wanting exciting movies with relatable heroes. So, instead, they gave you a musical celebrating a transgender drug dealer,” Gutfeld continued:
“Rather than make movies people want to go see, they offer crap that actually makes the experience worse. And, you know what they reminds me of? You guessed it: the Democrat Party.”
Doubling down on their unpopular behavior is “easier than admitting the truth,” Gutfeld said, listing the commonalities between Hollywood and the Democrat Party:
- Both are “more concerned with being woke than being watchable.”
- “Instead of improving the product, they keep appealing to their worst customers.”
- “Rather than trying to correct their descent into absurdity, they embrace more absurdity.”
- “Instead of admitting their colossal error, it’s just more fabrication.”
- “Like the film industry, the Democrat Party holds an arrogant disdain for their customers - so much so, that it can push stupid ideas and assume their customers will just eat it up.”
“And so, like smoking pot and being allowed to text in a theater, the Democrats’ latest moves do nothing to address the unsolvable problem within the party: their movie is one that no one wants a ticket to,” Gutfeld concluded.

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made a similar observation this week during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” when he said that the reason the Democrat brand has become toxic is stubborn extremism, not bad marketing.
