The entertainment elite’s inaugural boycott will backfire -- again

The real issue is the bubble created by the left’s Stalinized airbrushing of non-liberals out of American popular culture.

Lin Manuel Miranda is running a contest to raise money for Planned Parenthood. For a $10 donation, you can be entered into a drawing to see his show “Hamilton” in three cities. Miranda’s mom is on the national board of directors of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, so this is clearly a cause he cares about.

There has been exactly zero controversy over his fund-raiser — yet imagine if it were for the National Rifle Association or any other popular conservative cause. When Mike Pence attended the now-infamous “Hamilton” performance, the video of his entrance featured many more cheers than boos. And still the cast lectured him from the stage as if there couldn’t possibly be any Trump-voters in the audience or, heaven forbid, in the cast or crew.

The liberal bent in everything goes far beyond just Broadway or Hollywood. It permeates everything. And it gets old fast. The September issue of homekeeping mag Real Simple featured an incoherent political rant by author Terry Mc­Millan. In it, she accused the Republican Party of conspiring against President Obama because he’s black and states of “rigging” voting requirements. She wrote that white people complain of black people taking their jobs and that she’s afraid of her son going out alone lest the police shoot him.
