The reason the fringe artists originally planned for America’s 250th celebration backed out is that they were told it was a partisan event for Trump and MAGA and not “bipartisan,” as though the word still exists in practice. It doesn’t.
The Oscars, the Emmys, even the Super Bowl, nearly every movie released in Hollywood, almost all late-night comedy — all of it is partisan, deliberately so. The Resistance, ring any bells?
The nerve of any of them to pretend that there ever could be such a thing as bipartisan now. To recap: after Trump won in 2016, the Democrats threw an epic hissy fit. Hillary wasn’t supposed to lose.
Our country paid too high a price for having politics and culture merge, as it did under Obama. Once Trump won, American culture was forced to take a side. I remember how Nicole Kidman’s career almost came to a skidding halt when she dared to suggest we should give the newly elected president a chance.
Take it from me. I lost a substantial income when a story about me appeared in the Hollywood Reporter, calling me a “MAGA darling” and exposing that I voted for Trump. One major studio pulled its ads that day.
