There are two reasons someone wouldn't disclose their personal politics. One is they are in danger. The other is they are the danger.
He is in danger, or rather his career is in danger, if he voices his political opinion, no matter what direction he takes.
That doesn't disprove the second option mind you. But wanting to be left the fuck alone in the current hellscape that is american politics doesn't make you a fascist. It at most makes him a coward.
if its R his career would be dead(like chris "cant keep his mouth shut" pratt.), and he loves being a movie star. there is some leeway if he leans the other way.
If he said something in that ballpark, it's stupid either way. Especially if he broke that anyway because he had to be concerned about "woke culture".
I guess I'd need more context, but The Rock isn't exactly someone I feel is being constantly prodded on politics, at least from interviews he chooses to take.
there is speculation he leans R though, but he know well enough not to stir the pot, much like SINESE dint until recently.
