--Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor portraying Aaron Burr in “Hamilton”

Will denouncing this become conservative cause? |
These
are the words of subversion, as deemed by President-elect Donald J. Trump, who
is continuing in campaign mode these days, using his personal Twitter account
to take pot shots at anybody who offends his sensibilities.
BUT
WE HAVE the Electoral College system, which is likely to give Trump’s campaign
290 votes to 232 for Clinton (with Michigan technically still up for grabs) when
it convenes in state capitols across the nation on Dec. 19 and make it official
that Trump is No. 45 in the historical order of U.S. presidents.
So
we’re likely to get the kind of government for the next four years that will
benefit the interests of those in our society who think the foreigners,
minorities and other forms of degenerates have been receiving way too much and
that it’s time for real people (a.k.a., themselves) to take things back.
I didn't realize Hoosiers were so delicate |
Which
is what Dixon meant in his statement made Friday during a New York presentation
of the musical about our nation’s early history when he said many in our
society are afraid that “your new administration will not protect us” and may,
in fact, use people not like themselves to bash upon.
So
as the so-called majority to relieve its tensions at the expense of others, I
presume.
WHAT
MADE THIS an instance is that the Friday night performance of the musical was
one attended by Vice President-elect Mike Pence. Apparently, he was walking out
of the theater while Dixon was making his post-show comments.
Who bothered to see this show? |
But
it has been reported that Dixon’s comments were carried out in the lobby of the
theater, meaning that Pence definitely heard the message that was meant for his
ears.
Which
led to Trump’s Twitter comment (a Tweet from a twit?) who said that Pence was “harassed”
by the “Hamilton” cast and that they created an atmosphere that altered the
theater from being its usual “safe and special place.”
He
insists that the cast should “apologize!” to Pence. Which is a notion that
makes me laugh. It makes me wonder if Pence has a tushy made of candy. Is he
too sensitive to insult?
IF
SOMETHING THIS lame is really worthy of an apology, then I can’t help but wonder
how many apologies Trump himself needs to issue to so many different groups for
the nonsense he continuously spewed during his presidential campaign.
Not
that I expect him to issue Apology One. Donald Trump is exactly the kind of guy
who thinks the Constitution’s first amendment (the one guaranteeing freedom of
expression) applies only to himself – as in he can insult anybody he wants to.
But
if those people dare to stand up to him and try to answer back, then they have
committed a grave offense for which they must be punished! Hillary Clinton’s “crime”
for which she deserves to be “locked up” is for having the nerve to challenge
Trump during the general election.
By
Trump’s mind-set, she should have surrendered gracefully and made a plea to the
electorate to accept Trump’s ascension to the presidency by acclimation.
Is this more the way conservatives want history? |
WHERE
HE CAN now reward the nativist ideologues amongst his supporters with positions
of power where they could seriously try to implement their xenophobic ways upon
our society – which would make Dixon’s statement ever so accurate.
Where
I also suspect they can now think of the theatre community as a batch of
sissies and dilettantes who would dare to disrespect U.S. history by presenting
it in a multi-cultural, multi-racial manner – as “Hamilton” does!
Of
course, just about anything “historic” usually causes these peoples’ eyes to
glaze over – with many of them probably believing they saw something truthful in
that sappy 1997 film with actor Leonardo DiCaprio dying in the Atlantic Ocean
when the Titanic sank.
Maybe
what really bothers Trump is the notion that his life is too insipid to ever
become the material of a successful Broadway musical. Would anyone really want
to see a show about a guy with a bad combover and overuse of tanning lotions,
particularly if he’s boorish enough to think the way to a woman’s heart is by
grabbing her most private of places?
