In a shameless, feel-good orgy of smug superiority, the
faux-people of Hollywood utilized the occasion of honoring themselves to
ejaculate anti-Trump rhetoric into the ether Sunday night. Predictably,
attendees wallowed in their own lamentable, pathetic, hypocritical, despicable
display of lusty ignorance, cheering louder for each ensuing orgasmic slight. To
whit:
Jimmy
Fallon kicked off the night by comparing Donald Trump to HBO’s Game of Thrones villain King Joffrey:
“Game of Thrones is nominated tonight—how great is that? The show has so many
plot twists and chalky moments, a lot of people have wondered what it would’ve
been like if King Joffrey had lived. Well, in 12 days, we’re gonna find out.” For
those of you who don’t watch the show, Joffrey is a bastard son, sexual sadist,
murderer, and purveyor of infanticide who kills for the sheer fun of it. He
rips the tongue out of one characters mouth and makes a daughter look at the
severed head of her father, among other niceties.
Can you
grasp the truly insane hypocrisy here? These Hollywood hucksters are honoring a show that continually
exhibits the most violent and vile acts imaginable, mass murder, infanticide,
and incest, etc., but are using that same
occasion to make a holier-than-thou political statement blasting a guy who was
inadvertently caught on tape perhaps using the “p-word” inappropriately when
talking to another man in private. Fallon went on to mock Trump for losing the
popular vote and for his team’s difficulty in booking A-list talent to perform
at his inauguration, saying, “Florence Foster Jenkins is nominated. She’s the
world’s worst opera singer and yet even she turned down performing at the
inauguration.”
What a
class act! Demeaning another ‘performer’ in an attempt to humiliate the President-elect
of the United States. The reason so many ‘A-list’ performers won’t be
performing at the Trump inauguration is that your elitist crowd has threatened
them with boycotts- or worse- ‘A-list’ asshole.
Fallon’s fellow drunk Hugh Laurie
further excited the crowd by stating: "I suppose it's
made more amazing by the fact that I'll be able to say I won this at the last
ever Golden Globes. I don't mean to be gloomy, it's just that it has the
words Hollywood, foreign and press in the title. I just don't know.… I
also think, to some Republicans, even the word association is slightly sketchy." He then
jokingly told the now writhing crowd that he was accepting the honor “on behalf
of psychopathic billionaires everywhere.” Billionaire might be a pay-cut for many of the Hollywood stars, who
traveled to this celebration of themselves in chauffeured elegance before being
escorted down the red carpet while the paparazzi recorded their every move. And
it would require more terms than ‘psychopathic’ to describe many of their psychoses.
Meryl Streep worked the crowd
into a further frenzy by spouting: "And
this instinct to humiliate when it's modeled by someone in the public platform,
by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life because it kind of
gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites
disrespect. Violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position
to bully others, we all lose.”
Which
was exactly what Meryl Streep was
doing.
Can you imagine
those speaking at the Golden Globe awards, or at any significant entertainment
or mass-media venue saying the same things about Barack Obama or any Democrat?
Can you imagine conservatives taking every public opportunity to do so?
Impossible.
That is
why, though I personally am pre-disposed not
to like a Donald Trump because of his sometimes unnecessarily combative and
unrefined personality, I am driven to defend him.
The
incessant, unrelenting, truly unhinged attacks on Donald Trump by nearly every
power-wielding group in the country piss off the justice and underdog lover in
me. Those in the mainstream media, academia, government, et. al., leveraging their unquestioned, unchallenged
bully-pulpit to continually engage in over-the-top rants against Trump while
simultaneously branding him a bully
and violence monger, make me reflexively want to engage them, and illustrate
their hypocrisy. If you’ve seen many movies or watched much television lately,
you’d know that the emperor has no clothes. (Come to think of it though, many
of the Hollywood starlets on parade at the awards show weren’t wearing much in
the way of clothing, either, apparently content to show off their own Golden Globes).
Hollywood
stars, like their comrades in Big Media,
Big Labor, and Big Academia, tend to exhibit
herd mentality: following (what they believe to be) the majority for
fear of being wrong, ostracized or ridiculed. The group mind, according to one
definition, “is not a mere collection (or the sum) of the minds of all the
individual members of a group. It is a mind of its own distinct from minds
working on different levels: it’s working based on emotions, appeals, suggestions and slogans.” (Emphasis mine).
Persons
exhibiting this behavior may no longer even be conscious of their acts. They
are as if hypnotized. They are automatons.
The
Hollywood types exhibit a particularly repulsive kind of mob behavior:
attacking others (for, perhaps, “attacking” others) while they publicly stroke
and flaunt their own moral superiority. In some respects, it’s a verbal version
of the four young black’s assault of the helpless white youth in Chicago
recently. Though they would never mention that
vile act, because it doesn’t fit with their predetermined,
politically-correct meme.
A herd
mentality, cowardice, combined with a lack of character, integrity and free
will…always leads to tyranny.
King
Joffrey would know that.
