And to our detractors, that insist that this march will never add up to anything, fuck you, ... fuck you! ... Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. ... As W.H Auden wrote on the eve of World War II: "We must love one another, or die." I choose love.
Apparently, Madonna's willingness to love her neighbors does not extend to the millions of Americans, including the many millions of American women, who voted for Mr Trump.
All Madonna, Jane Fonda, and Meryl Streep have accomplished over the last couple of weeks is to reinforce Middle America's impression of the Democratic Party as a bunch of bi-coastal, New York, Hollywood, Nancy Pelosi elites. The majority of American women in the American heartland simply don't identify with this kind of violent and vulgar militancy.
I welcome, almost revel in, these rants as demonstrating to the entire nation the type of people who have become the core of the embarrassment that is the current Democratic Party.
As an aside, since we are quoting from great Western poets like Auden (although he is dead and white and male, hmmm problematic), let me quote from a great poet of the Left, Madonna Louise Ciccone herself:
-
Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?
