Last night, Meryl Streep gave an impassioned, five-minute political speech that encapsulated most of what I hate about Hollywood liberalism. Streep had just received the Cecile B. Demille Award at the Golden Globes, and she used the opportunity to launch a direct frontal attack on Donald Trump. You can watch it here:
I have no particular affection for Trump, but I positively loathe the condescension, alarmism, ignorance, and self-regard of the wealthy Hollywood Left, and each of those elements was on full display in Streep’s speech.
Condescension? Not content to take a shot at Trump for apparently insulting a disabled reporter, she made the puzzling statement that the insult was designed to get his audience to “show their teeth” — dehumanizing language that would outrage her if applied to anyone other than Trump’s crowd of Republicans. Moreover, does she not understand the deficiencies of her chosen candidate? Does she not know that many millions voted for Trump in spite of his personal attacks and not because they love his insults?
