said by pnh102:Conversely I won't understand why the GOP supports any type of law or enforcement action that benefits the content industry. The content industry, from the actors, singers, artists, writers, producers, etc. all the way up to the executives at the highest level are all flaming liberals politically. On top of that, the content industry never wastes an opportunity to trash the GOP or any conservative in general.
With that in mind, why would the GOP care so much about the welfare of this industry? Because, as you accurately pointed out, most of the time any proposal comes around to strengthen said industry, the GOP stupidly lines up behind it.
It's as simple as the GOP cares about private enterprise in general, although that certainly doesn't mean that GOP pols never make mistakes that hurt our economy.
