The original Hollywood blacklisting was an outcome of McCarthyism, named after the paranoid Republican senator from Wisconsin who believed that Communists had infiltrated the U.S. government, media and entertainment, and were hiding under every bed in America. But you are correct that these days Hollywood blacklists rightists. But unlike the original McCarthyism, which targeted leftists, there does not seem to be any government pressure to do so. Hollywood and the rest of the American infotainment industry, advertising industry, etc. wields far more power over public opinion than government. The current presidential election resembles a cross between the "Jerry Springer" show and "Bum Fights." The "blacklisted" actors are being punished less for their personal ideological beliefs than their refusal to play the role they've been assigned in a fake reality show.
