Liberal Establishment collapsing – punchline at the end

Yes, a theme exists here – see if you see it:

Democrats and liberals have been driving drunk while texting for eight years. Swerving into the wrong lane, they crashed into oncoming traffic and sit, dazed and confused, wondering what happened. The few survivors crawl out of the clown car screaming at the innocent people they’ve harmed. After all, it’s never their fault, you see, it’s everyone else’s for daring to get in their way.

Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel led the way, as Entertainment Weekly noted, “The first salvo against Donald Trump was fired only a few minutes into the Oscars — and then they just kept on coming. In what might be an unprecedented number of jokes, allusions, and sincere articulations inspired by a single person during an awards telecast, Hollywood’s most luminous tackled Trump and his policies. …”

The target may have been President Trump, but the derision was meant for the people who elected him. Nothing says “oops” like ridiculing your audience.

I apparently was one of the millions who didn’t tune in, causing the ABC network program to be the least-watched in nine years. The Los Angeles Times spent thousands of words trying to explain why the awards show had its third year of ratings decline. It was late, they explained, small budget films and, they mused pensively, maybe, just maybe, “[t]he promise of strong criticism of President Trump from the Oscars participants may also have put off some viewers.”

Ya think? But it’s not about criticism of any particularly president, it’s Hollywood’s constant sanctimonious lecturing of the unwashed hoi polloi.

I didn’t watch it and to my surprise, either did TMEW. I would think that this is just plain common sense – why would I be a “patron” of those that hate me for either my station in life, my worldview, my political philosophy, my religious beliefs; WHY in God’s green earth would I give them the time of day? I take a dim view of all of these self-congratualatory escapades where one over-paid person is back-slapping another – a very clostered colony with whom I have nothing in common.

They may be very talented performers – but I have better things to do than to be hectored by the likes of them.  Remember, they believe all of us to be evil.

Stephen Green echos my sentiments:

People generally don’t sit down in front of the TV or make a trip down to the multiplex in order to enjoy a sanctimonious lecture — a simple reality reflected in declining ratings and fewer ticket sales.

That’s why, right this moment, I’m watching Gold Rush instead of the Progressive propaganda crap on the regular channels that’s more about advancing an agenda than entertaining me (re: Blackish comes to mind) – hard working normal people doing difficult work with the attitude of “if I’m not working, I’m not feeding my family” and willing to take that risk in (literally in this case) going for the gold.  No agenda, no polemics – just “are we going to make it?”.
