Watching the Left Eat Itself

We have seen this before. But this one is particularly tasty!

Kevin Hart recently came under a firestorm of criticism for his past jokes. Seems the political correctness of the Left will come after you regardless of how many times you attempt to appease their madness. The Left reached back to 2011 to a tweet Kevin Hart made about what he would do if he found his son playing with dolls.

After avoiding politics for years, the well known stand up comedian finally gave in to peer pressure and ripped into President Donald Trump at the MTV Video Music Award in August. And as many in the entertainment field have assumed, publicly calling out POTUS was your Golden Ticket to continuing to work in a field that has no guarantees. Kevin Hart might want to curtail his spending habits until things settle down.

Ironically, Kevin Hart told his critics to, "Stop searching for reasons to be angry.". This is exactly what I told some nutjob Lefties about a year ago when it was obvious Trump was doing a great job. And, as we have seen, the Hollywood narrative about Trump dictates that anyone in entertainment must automatically hate our current POTUS.

America is so sensitive today, that all comedians are walking a tightrope these days. Being offended by jokes in an art form that traditionally has been at it's best when caution is thrown to the wind for edgy humor. The best stuff is always the stuff we are afraid to say. We see comedians because they are willing to say it and put a comedic twist on it. That's comedy! It's cuts across cultural barriers and allows people to laugh at themselves and others. Not anymore! The Left gets offended much too easily for the lusciously dark and offensive humor of the past. Colleges and Universities have become so politically correct that this dynamic has killed off a traditional touring segment for a lot of comedians.

Even famed clean comic Jerry Seinfeld has had trouble performing at colleges. When Seinfeld made a joke that the people in our lives aren't really that important when you "scroll through your contact list on your smart phone like a gay French king.". He was boo'd for the first time in a long time of his celebrated and prosperous comedy career. He has since avoided performing at colleges after realizing the level of political correctness taught there is something to be avoided.

But, unlike Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld has stayed away from directly criticizing President Trump. While, Seinfeld did feature President Barrack Obama on his Comedians in Cars, Getting Coffee series, he didn't come out critical of President Trump like so many other entertainers. And while it should be obvious how he votes, there is an implied respect to the POTUS and his supporters by saying nothing. There is a huge difference with having a President on your show that a lot of Trump supporters do not like, and flat out badmouthing a siting POTUS. Hence, when Seinfeld plays the local Sanger Theater at $150 a seat, he sells it out.

Bad mouth President Trump and your fortunes may not be as great as your Hollywood masters may have promised. A good indicator of this and the bubble that comedians live in with regards to them thinking the end-all be-all is their Hollywood connections is the cancellation of The Comedy Get Down show in Pensacola, FL. This show failed twice to sell enough tickets. The first show was canceled in April 2018. due to poor ticket sales. And the 2nd show in October 2018 was cancelled for the same reason. And, knowing that several comedians in this lineup have been blatant critical of Trump combined with the fact that the Panhandle of Florida broke the record on Election Day 2016 for voter turn out. Combine that with a strong military presence and 1000s of retired military and what you get are people who are not going to pay to listen to people badmouth the President. All anyone had to do was look up the names of the comedians on tour to see that they have all said very negative things about President Trump.

Seems that if you want to succeed in show business it's smart to remember that without business, there's no show! And Donald Trump has been taking care of business in the USA since the NAFTA and later PFTA with China has stripped jobs from Americans. And that to me is the main reason people do not want to hear criticism of him from the Hollywood elite. Gutting the middle class is a sore spot. And while criticizing Donald Trump might get an entertainment professional some short term gains in Hollywood, in the long run, it will damage their careers as more and more people join the Great Awakening.

So while entertainers continue to coddle to Hollywood, the ever increasing demands of a more and more sensitive left might leave the out in the cold as they try to delete anything offensive from their acts and their past. The Left is eating itself.

This is going to be fun to watch!
