Bad Bunny Joyfully Forces Football Fans To Acknowledge Existence Of Puerto Rico For 13 Whole Minutes
https://www.wonkette.com/p/bad-bunny-joyfully-forces-footballMarcie Jones
Will MAGA ever recover?
Chock full of videos - wonderful!
Holy fuck, that Super Bowl! Two blue-state teams playing against the backdrop of the gayest city in the land, and a logo that looked like the rainbow flag and the trans flag took some poppers and squeegeed a neon Lichtenstein landscape together. AND the New England Patriots lost, fuck them ball-deflators and their rub-n-tug owner.
But the big story was that Bad Bunny/Lady Gaga/Ricky Martin/an entire REAL WEDDING cameo-studded halftime show! Watch it!

Art will save us, and this was Bad Bunny's plea for the humanity of Puerto Ricans and people of the other Americas besides MAGA USA. Donald Trump et al. have been making the case for assimilation and the continued dominance of white culture, and here was the counterpoint.
NO!
Which way, America? Bad Bunny, or Kid Rock's Dr. Phil-looking ass in jorts and a fur? Puerto Rican musical theater of whitewashed West Side Story with Natalie Wood, or with Puerto Ricans telling their own story? The joy of dance and song, or the hunched over MAGA regime of rhythmless haters contributing nothing but snarling complaints and shooting people in the head? The only thing more powerful than hate is love, but hate's still got control of all branches of government and an approval rating of 41 percent.
Here is Bad Bunny to remind the USA that you love Latinos! Always have. Fought entire wars with Spain and moved the whole Mexican border right on over them in the 1840s and '50s, and fought a whole other war in 1898 to get Puerto Rico and Spain's other Caribbean real estate too. And now Trump is Viceroy of Venezuela and even putting moves on Cuba.
