‘Hamilton’ cast fearful

The actors in the musical “Hamilton” were extremely disrespectful to the newly elected vice president. They say they are fearful of a Trump presidency and read a dissenting announcement to him.

But they showed something else. Not that they are afraid of a Trump presidency as such, but that after the next eight years of success that Trump’s logical conservative presidency will bring to this country, the liberal emotional appeal that has kept this country in the doldrums for the last eight years will fade.

In fact, governing with logic will be so successful, liberals will not be heard from for two generations. That is what liberal are so afraid of.
