In a spectacle of liberal outrage, Democrats are in a frenzy over a GOP proposal to rename the John F. Kennedy Center in honor of Donald Trump. Tears and tantrums abound as they bemoan the change from their liberal darling to honoring a true exemplar of modern America, President Trump. Conservatives are left shaking their heads at the typical liberal overreaction, but is anyone really surprised?
This would-be travesty, according to the liberal mob, is a slap to the legacy of Kennedy—a president from decades past. But let’s face it, Trump has been a larger-than-life figure who shaped not just politics but the very culture of our nation. The liberal indignation only underscores their shallow nostalgia. It’s plain to see they’re more upset about losing another shrine for their elitist icons than they are about honoring an active force in our nation’s cultural and economic resurgence.
The proposed change, called the MEGA Act, is clever in its nod to Trump’s famous mantra, “Make America Great Again.” It’s about time the arts reflect the dynamic spirit of our times instead of clinging to remnants of a bygone era. Congressman Onder rightly highlights Trump’s impact on the arts and pop culture, something the liberal media conveniently forgets as they continue to mock, ridicule, and shun the President.
Even attempts to include First Lady Melania Trump’s name meet predictable liberal hysteria. Her elegant support of the arts deserves recognition. The absurd backlash only confirms an underlying fear in liberal ranks—they are terrified of anything that shakes their ideological safe spaces, anything that challenges their cultural monopoly.
The Kennedy family’s rage is particularly revealing. Their howls of resistance illustrate fear over losing relevance in a nation moving toward a Trumpian vision of success. It’s amusing, if not a bit sad, how they clutch onto the past, unwilling to step into an era shaped by a leader who dared to defy the status quo and put America first.
Why do the liberals cling so tightly to symbols of the past while shunning the present? Is it desperation, or merely that they have no heroes left to worship?
