In the whirlwind of news swirling around Washington, D.C., President Trump recently enjoyed a visit from the famed Italian tenor, Andrea Bocelli. Yes, while the political universe might have been focused elsewhere, Trump chose to bring a bit of melodic serenity to the White House, showing off his new surround sound system in the most Trumpian way possible—by hosting a live performance. It’s like inviting a five-star chef to test out your new kitchen, but with less sauce and more serenade.
Meanwhile, across the nation, it seems the Democrats are orchestrating their own style of performance, albeit less harmonious. In Chicago, they’re not content with the dulcet tones of a world-renowned tenor; no, they’ve opted for the sounds of protests outside an I.C.E. facility instead. There’s something strikingly off-key about trying to set up a crucifix in front of federal agents, but that’s the sort of high drama we’ve come to expect. And, of course, late-night TV hosts can’t resist getting in on the act, encouraging viewers to join the protests with their own custom-made signs. Never mind the content, people—just make your signage snappy and Instagram-ready.
As for the mainstream media, they’ve jumped in with both feet, offering their platforms to promote the protest rallies as if they were the hottest new Broadway show. It’s curious that these protests should coincide with some of the most successful diplomatic efforts led by Trump in the Middle East. Clearly, the timing of these protests suggests the Democrats might need a refresher course in strategic planning or perhaps just a calendar update.
For anyone paying attention, it seems Democrats have cast this protest as a desperate stand against what they label as an “authoritarian takeover.” They predict dark, dystopian futures if their voices aren’t heard, conjuring images of tyranny knocking at the door. It’s a bit rich to play the helpless bystander while organizing gatherings that wouldn’t be possible in an actual dictatorial regime. This theatrical protest is likely to attract the usual medley of participants, including the seriously disgruntled and the just plain eccentric.
Adding to the chaos are the inevitable cries of racism. It’s an old tune but no less dramatic. The Democrats, in their productions, regularly target red state residents and white Americans, blaming them for just about everything under the sun. With calls for violence veiled as a necessity to “break barriers,” it’s the height of irony. After all, openly advocating for riots seems a bit left of sanity, even for the left.
It all boils down to a peculiar brand of irony and absurdity from the Democrats—railing against a so-called autocracy while exercising the freedom to protest, calling for justice while inciting chaos, and claiming moral high ground while hurling accusations and insults. In the end, the Democrats’ narrative is a bit like a stage play that’s gone off-script: unpredictable, messy, and somehow still going. Perhaps next time they should consider taking notes from Andrea Bocelli—a true professional who knows a thing or two about hitting the right notes.
