“Can’t you say the same thing about conservatives?”

Someone asked whether everything I’ve said about black creators and audiences applies to conservatives too. Yes, and I’ve said it for years. But it’s not the same complaint, and getting the diagnosis wrong gets the prescription wrong. The differences, with receipts: the $360 million Spider-Man weekend and what it proves about who buys tickets, Friends of Abe and why 1,500 industry professionals needed a secured membership list, the OpenSecrets donation data, the eight-year Disney boycott that Disney grew straight through, and the two habits standing in the way of the fix. Same prescription as always: create, or go find the people already creating.
