MAGA loyalists seethe after 'Hamilton' cancels shows over Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The creators of “Hamilton” refuse to let their hit musical be performed next year at the Kennedy Center, where a now-canceled 8-week run was slated to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence—and this snub has MAGA acolytes seeing red.

President Donald Trump purged the board of the performing arts center in February and has since been made chairman, which caused an exodus of board members and performers.

“This latest action by Trump means it’s not the Kennedy Center as we knew it,” show creator Lin-Manuel Miranda said in a joint interview via The New York Times with lead producer Jeffrey Seller. “The Kennedy Center was not created in this spirit, and we’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center. We’re just not going to be part of it."

And while Seller pointed out in a separate statement that their decision had to do with the “partisan policies of the Kennedy Center” and not with the Trump administration itself, the president’s loyalists aren’t very happy.

1. "The American people need to know that Lin-Manuel is intolerant of people who don't agree with him politically."

Ah yes; the Tolerance Paradox once again rears its butt-ugly head.

"Yer not bein' tolerant of my intolerance. Some liberal yew are!..."

2. Those of us in every kind of entertainment

ARE NOT YOUR MONKEYS!

Go find the assholes that will entertain you the way you like it and leave us alone. Chances are you would not understand it anyway.

Gave you a sad? Get used to it. The work that goes into this kind of show would be totally wasted on you and feel disgusting every moment and every note that was played, spoken or sung.

My part in this was almost never a big deal, there were a few but...every time we did our shows we came away with that feeling of fun, feel good and usefulness. That would never come from playing for the Magats. This is disgusting just to think about.

NOT YOUR MONKEYS!

5. I want to laugh at them, but they truly believe they're the victims.
