Lynn Manuel Miranda and the producers of his hit show “Hamilton” have dumped their shots to light up the Kennedy Center stage in a protest against the Trump administration, which will replace failed leadership at the left and right facilities.
Cancellation is another example of what advocating that our country's progressive elites are living a political emergency where we must occupy our entire lives and influence all the decisions we make.

We saw this existential crisis attitude from Democrats this week during President Donald Trump's joint speech this week in Congress. There, left-handed lawmakers refused to stand up or praise pediatric cancer survivors for Trump.

Meanwhile, counterterrorist protests have erupted once more at Columbia University, and it is taking over the library. Because the political emergency of our time is simply an act of studying unacceptable luxury.
For the ever-ruffled leftist, it all sums up in one message: “This is not normal.” They argue that every time Trump wakes up and breaths, he has to admit that it is dangerous enough to have to stand up and confront him.

But it's here. You can hear it anywhere, from Texas to West Virginia, California to Wisconsin. They want to talk to family and friends on other political aspects. They want to enjoy beer without engaging in a culture war.
Overall, those on the left are those who are in the way of returning to normalcy today, and the Haavelem scheme to close Miranda's own show is a perfect example.
Let's imagine a bit of it that Richard Grenell, the new president of Trump's Kennedy Center, decided to cancel “Hamilton.” This father was played by people of color and replaced by the 1970s hit “1776.”
Reflected on the Potomac River is outside the John F. Kennedy Center, a performing arts building, illuminated in multiple colors.
All bloody hell is released and obviously. But that didn't happen, and like most conservatives, Grenell is not interested in censorship, so it never happens.
Miranda and his likes argue with laughter that they are protesting political bias in their leadership shakeups, as if the Kennedy Center ideological composition had not been on the left side of Chairman Maoze for decades.
In short, the Trump administration has not censored Miranda, and Miranda is censoring Miranda.
Now, it is argued that Trump himself does not exactly seek national unity by moving like his fierce executive orders, massive civil servant shootings, and the Kennedy Center shakeup itself, but there is an important distinction. Trump's actions are political and not social.
The president has always played the role of the mafia rules. If you are in the game, you are a fair target, but he does not attack ordinary people. Trump rarely denys those who voted for him.
It is not normal for a fellow student to refuse to perform the play, to listen carefully to the speech, or to refuse to do his or her job. That's totally extraordinary.
What Miranda does by cancelling “Hamilton,” what Congressional Democrats did insanely during Trump's speech, and what Hoodlam, who supports Hamas in Columbia, has in common is to be compulsory to invade your social life if you don't share their worldview. If you're a Trump supporter, they don't even want to be in the room with you.
On my trip, I met grieving parents whose children don't talk to them for Trump, my lifelong friend put aside. In fact, almost everyone I ask has such a story. And do you want to know something? That's not normal.
It is not normal for a fellow student to refuse to perform the play, to listen carefully to the speech, or to refuse to do his or her job. That's totally extraordinary. Again and again, it is a choice made by the American left.

Perhaps progressives like Miranda are naturally scared that Americans like the big changes brought about by the Trump administration, but can they give them six months to find it? After all, he won the election.
The good news is that the widespread fear and silence towards Trump were so flammable that unlike stunts like those that cancel “Hamilton” in protests seized the fire of public imagination, it can now almost illuminate candles.

The American people do not want to soften the history from our elite. They want a lifeless dinner and show about Donald Trump.
But sadly, Miranda and his show don't last. Instead, he is boycotting the room that it happens, and that's a loss for everyone. Ten years ago, Hamilton brought together the nation. Today, it divides us. Fortunately, Americans can see better ways, even if Lynn Manuel Miranda can't.
