Did Donald Trump really pick a Twitter fight with a theatrical troupe?
Did Mike
Pence really walk into that place NOT thinking he'd be hassled in some way?
Does
anyone actually think this little performance by the Trump team wasn't as
staged as Kim Kardashian's "robbery" for the purpose of further
perpetuating – as part of the overall Trump strategy – an "us against the
world" scenario?
If Pence's
attendance of the play "Hamilton" was as authentic as he'd like you
to think it was, then YES – I do happen to believe that in what we have left of
a decorous society, certain people warrant certain respect. But ours is not the
America it once was; hell, it's not even the America of eight years ago. That
went down the toilet the night that asshole from South Carolina, U.S.
Representative Joe Wilson, yelled "you lie!" during an Obama
State-of-the-Union address.
That
little exclamation by Wilson was the spark that lit the Trump fire. The Donald
recognized something that night – that the nation was ready for a vulgar, lying
pied piper to take them down a path of insanity. And he succeeded. Yet in his
messy wake float poor saps like Mike Pence, who would have been happy to stay
under the radar in his home state of Indiana keeping his people happy with
suggestions of Gay Conversion Therapy.
So … Mike
Pence – the man who obviously hates outsiders – willingly attended a play
centered on the idea that EVERYONE should have a chance
at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Right.
If
you're naïve enough to believe that, then you probably voted for Trump.
