From a Reddit discussion of the crowd reaction to Trump's appearance in the audience at the Kennedy Center performance of "Les Miserables":
"Honestly it sounds like a mix of both? Boos and cheers/clapping together. Because as disappointing as it is, there is a lot of people who literally reside up Trump’s ass crack & worship this man. I fully despise him and everything he stands for. And the fact that he simultaneously, gets to go to the theater and exist peacefully while terrorizing the immigrant populations in LA & around the US."

As I wrote before, a Dem politician in Omaha called the Omaha ICE raids terrorism.
Our language has been debased.
Name calling has been debased. Impotent it is. The amateurs wrecked it…
A man with a bun and dainty little hands typed that post.
I gotta wonder when people are going to get tired and bored of ranting like this.
That comment oozes vitriol and is more proof that the Democrats are not done trying to murder Donald Trump.
Trump has 'literally' taken up residence in some people's heads.
So much hate from the left.
Let’s see, a president you hate shouldn’t be able to go to the theater and “exist peacefully.” What does that bring to mind?
"I gotta wonder when people are going to get tired and bored of ranting like this."
Already there. I think a rising cohort is now just waiting for shooting to start.
The Kennedy Center is not so ornate as I would have expected.
"I fully despise him and everything he stands for."
Does anyone know "everything" Trump stands for?
I don't think even Trump knows. This is the kind of rhetoric people may believe sounds good, but it really sounds foolish.
Bernstein's Candide would be more appropriate. Unfortunately none of the YouTube renditions have singers that think there's anything musical to bring out. It's all operatic wobble and smirk, as if comedy should be overstated when Bernstein was understated. I recommend the 1970s LP. The lyrics to What's the Use though, which is what's appropriate:
OLD LADY
I have always been wily and clever
At deceiving and swindling and such,
And I feel just as clever as ever,
But I seem to be losing my touch.
Yes, I'm clever, but where does it get me?
My employer gets all of my take;
All I get is my daily spaghetti,
While he gorges on truffles and cake.
What's the use? What's the use?
There's no profit in cheating,
It's all so defeating
And wrong, oh, so wrong,
That I just have to pass it along!
RAGOTSKI
That old hag is no use in this gyp joint,
Not a sou have I made on her yet,
And the one thing that pays in this clip joint
Is my fraudulent game of roulette.
But I have to pay so much protection
To the chief of police and his men,
That each day when he makes his collection
I'm a poor man all over again.
RAGOTSKI, OLD LADY
What's the use? What's the use
Of dishonest endeavor and being so clever?
It's wrong, oh, so wrong,
If you just have to pass it along!
MAXIMILIAN
It's a very fine thing to be prefect
Shaking down all the gamblers in town.
My position has only one defect:
That there's someone who's shaking me down.
For this fellow unhappily knows me;
And he's on to the game that I play,
And he threatens to shame and expose me
If I do not incessantly pay.
MAXIMILIAN, RAGOTSKI, OLD LADY
What's the use? What's the use
Of this sneaky conniving and slimy contriving?
It's wrong, oh, so wrong,
If you just have to pass it along!
CROOK
I could live very well by extortion,
But I simply can't keep what I earn,
For I haven't a sense of proportion,
And roulette is my only concern.
I've a system that's fiendishly clever,
Which I learned from a croupier friend,
And I should go on winning forever
But I do seem to lose in the end.
MAXIMILIAN, RAGOTSKI, CROOK
What's the use? What's the use?
OLD LADY
What's the use? What's the use
Of this cheating and plotting,
You end up with notting.
OLD LADY, MAXIMILIAN, RAGOTSKI,
CROOK
It's wrong, oh, so wrong
If you just have to pass it along!
CHORUS
Pass it along, oh, pass it along.
ALL
Oh, what's the use? What's the use?
There's no use in cheating,
It's all so defeating
And wrong, oh, so wrong,
If you just have to pass it along!
Never any introspection from these people, eh?
the fascist left insist everyone they hate - is a fascist.
Note Candide has rhyme and natural meter.
The return of dainty little hands! (Though "fists" hit better, so to speak, IMHO.)
Always thinking of you, Jamie😉
Well, I happen to be part of the "immigrant populations" and Trump isn't terrorizing me or anyone like me...i.e., who came here legally, committed no crimes here or anywhere else, and are not rioting, looting, or flying flags of other countries. Perhaps the leftist elites could explain why they are unable to comprehend the difference between "immigrants" and "criminal illegal immigrants". We immigrants applaud and support President Trump's actions.
following @rhhardin, I can faintly hear the gathering TDS carriers singing this as they take their positions for Saturday's events:
What a day, what a day
For an auto-da-fe!
What a sunny summer sky!
What a day, what a day
For an auto-da-fe!
It's a lovely day for drinking
And for watching people fry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
Watch 'em die!
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
Hang 'em high!
It's all about preserving and sustaining the purity of the progressive dream. Lean Forward.
Before Trump took over the Kennedy Center it was all boos, no cheers. Now he gets a mix.
Libtards hate America. And they want us to have open borders and have 50 million 3rd worlders move here. They don't care, because they think their housing prices will go up, and their job (assuming they even have one) will be safe.
But that's giving the anti-American Libtard too much credit. They just hate non-leftists and follow the party line. If tommorrow "the party line" changed to restricting Immigration, they'd be for it.
People who hate are just looking for someone/something to blame for their hate of self. God forbid they admit responsibility for their own distress.
Whether it's NYC, LA or DC, history has shown that if you take your enemies mano a mano, you can silence and win over even a hostile crowd.
Trump! Trump! Trump!
Nice to know K Center patrons have the same simplistic dichotomy as the leftists here: either you hate Trump or you are "up his ass crack" worshipping him.
For people always talking about spectrums they sure have a binary view on almost everything.
Leftists sympathize with illegal aliens terrorizing Americans and immigrants. #HateLovesAbortion
Will no one abort this "burden"!?
Reddit infested with pearl clutchers
I fully despise...[that he] gets to go to the theater and exist peacefully
And this guy thinks his political opponents are the fascists. Every now and then, the brazenness of these people still surprises me.
History will show again and again
How common sense points out the folly of East Coast Acela Corridor leftists

I think that it is unfortunate that Trump has to share space in a theater with people who display a blind hatred for “him and everything he stands for.” I presume “everything he stands for” includes fair wages for American workers, Jewish college students being able to walk to classes without being cursed or threatened, rapists and murders being removed from our streets, stuff like that.
What I think is unfair is that President Trump has to share space in a theater with hardcore Trump haters. I look forward to the day when a Trump hater show up to the theater with tickets in hand and gets turned away because the President is planning to attend the performance and a DHS AI tool has flagged that ticket holder as a Trump hater.
I know some libs are boycotting the Kennedy Center, because Trump! I don't know how widespread that is, but I suspect it's not the same crowd as before.
I think the most intense hatred is from people, overwhelmingly college educated single White females and African-Americans, who fear losing their privileged status and are resentful of other people's successes (especially successful White and Asian men). If the TDS people can recognize the role jealousy plays in their lives, we, collectively, will be better able to cultivate empathy and foster a more accepting society.
Yawn…..
..."as disappointing as it is, there is a lot of people who literally reside up Trump’s ass crack..." said the highly-cultured intellectual that is outraged Trump would attend such a refined event, 'as if he could comprehend its true symbolic meaning'
Somebody mentioned jealousy, but I really think it's the sin of Envy that gets people hating to this blind raging level.
At least the commenter acknowledges that President Trump was getting cheers, as well as boos, at Kennedy Center. That is more honesty than we'd get from corporate media.
It is less honest to say that a president who has been shot by an aspiring assassin, is free to "exist peacefully".
"I fully despise him and everything he stands for."
A stupid statement on the face of it. I'm pretty damn sure Trump "stands for" not torturing puppies. Does this clown despise NOT torturing puppies.
Every utterance he ever makes about Trump should be summarily disregarded.
Sadly he self-tortures himself daily (hourly) while Trump remains in office. And likely beyond.
Admittedly, the deportation push may "terrorize" the illegals. Clearly, they'd be better off without deportations. But what about the rest of the country? Do the useful idiots on the left ever even consider the possibility that stopping and reversing Biden's open borders policies may be a good thing for the country as a whole, even though it may be disruptive to the lives of the deportees?
“I fully despise him and everything he stands for”
Does our Reddit poster despise free speech?
I’m guessing maybe the answer to that is yes.
“ Admittedly, the deportation push may "terrorize" the illegals.”
And the blame for this falls entirely on Joseph Robinette Biden, who promised them something he couldn’t deliver. For his own crooked purposes.
"...there is a lot of people..." Yikes. Fingernails on a chalkboard. (IYKYK) Someone didn't pay attention in English class.
I read some of the Reddit comments. I wanted to do a "face palm" when I read one of the "memes": (paraphrased) rearrange the letters of Patriot...to say Traitor. This commenter must have drawn doodles during spelling class.
As far as the film clip goes - it's possible to mess with the audio, just like newspapers mess with colorization. It looked to me that a lot of people were standing and clapping.
You gotta hand it to Trump: he’s got rock solid guts. He knew perfectly well what he was facing when he put on his tux. Melania too. She’s a classy broad.

"Because as disappointing as it is, there is a lot of people who literally reside up Trump’s ass crack & worship this man. I fully despise him and everything he stands for. "
Sounds like Trump literally resides in this idiot's head. So that would mean all those Trump supporters residing up Trump's ass are in his head, too. Must be awfully crowded up in there.
"I fully despise him and everything he stands for. "
Aren't you special.
Is "ass crack" a reference to the back... black hole... whore h/t NAACP's intersection between racism and sexism, a transphobic indulgence, a donkey braying abortive ideation, a little blow when you can afford it?
"terrorizing the immigrant populations in LA & around the US" Basic Dem error. DJT is trying to expel illegals, not "terrorize immigrant populations." Hence shift in public opinion: immigrants for Trump.
The Reddit demographic is hugely biased toward the young / very young, college student, service work groups. Especially in the general and political subreddits. Moderately useful for getting a sense of those groups, but definitely a self-amplifying bubble. Like the WaPo and NYT in some respects.
The problem isn't that they're against peaceful existence-- it's that they think of it as a privilege you earn by agreeing with them about politics.
@Fred, Reddit - with an exception for an exceedingly small number of subreddits - is massive cancer and has been for a long time.
It is the post of an angry man (or woman). Quite in keeping with the musical, as is the poster's Javert-like passion.
I wouldn't want to be there when the beating of his heart equals the beating of the drum.
You gotta hand it to Trump: he’s got rock solid guts.
Indeed. Especially after what happened to Mr. Lincoln in a theatre.
Because as disappointing as it is, there is a lot of people who literally reside up Trump’s ass crack & worship this man. I fully despise him and everything he stands for.
The projection of the Left is world-class, 3D-IMAX level

As I understand it, Les Mis tells the story of a career criminal who repeatedly tries to breach the (prison) walls keeping him out of French society, takes advantage of a non-governmental organization's money (Bishop Myriel), resumes his life of crime by stealing from a 12-year-old boy (Gervais), hides from authorities (going so far as to fake his own death), conscripts a minor (Cosette) into a life of crime, and eventually joins up with a group of malcontents and starts riots and revolution. Oh, and the criminal is the hero of this story.
Its like an eposide of Law & Order - it is ripped from today's headlines.
The same old tired comment that seems bathed in media indoctrination, betraying the lack of logic and highlighting a emotional vanity so common in the Trump era.
The party of Barack Obama is not in any position to cast aspersions about people who live "up the ass crack" of their political heros.
Name calling has been debased. Impotent it is. The amateurs wrecked it…
Even the pros are not what they used to be. How long has it been since any politician inflicted a wound so deep and yet so genteel as Churchill did when he called a feckless Labourite opponent "a modest little man, with much to be modest about..."??
My immigrant wife isn't terrorized. In fact she voted for him.
Those whom are residue up Trump's patootie are equivalent to the folks whom like the Reddit author fully despise the President and all he stands for. It's a bifurcated spectrum with some version of crazy Town at both poles.
Algo Rhythm pushes the squeaky wheels. You have to tune it out like severe tinnitus if you value sanity.
I fully despise (Trump) and everything he stands for.
Good boy! You get a cookie...!
That this commenter conflates love and the ass crack reveals a lot. De gustibus.
There used to be a saying about respecting the office, not the person holding the office.
Looks like another AI generated comment to me...\sarc
“And this guy thinks his political opponents are the fascists. Every now and then, the brazenness of these people still surprises me.”
Don’t lose sight of the idiocy, as well.
