Creating A Problem Where There Shouldn’t Be One

Townhall.com posted an article yesterday about the plans for an upcoming concert. Somehow politics has crept into all areas of our lives and we are no longer capable of simply enjoying art and entertainment together. This phenomena is not the result of the election of Donald Trump–he hasn’t taken office yet and was only elected a few weeks ago–it is something that has been building in recent years. Somehow, an idea has taken hold in certain areas of our society that people who do not agree with certain voices on the political left must be punished in some way. To call that idea divisive is the understatement of the year.

The Townhall article reports:

While there are few actually confirmed details as of now, there’s apparently a massive, star-studded “We The People” concert being planned for Miami on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration. The idea is to counter Trump’s inauguration and garner higher television ratings than the swearing-in. Normally, the presidential inaugurals carry several a-list acts, but Trump has had issues booking artists to perform. So far, the only confirmed acts are Jackie Evancho (singing the National Anthem), the Rockettes, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

What are the people planning this concert trying to do? To me, this looks like a bunch of spoiled brats throwing a temper tantrum.

The article concludes:

While artists and concert promoters are free to do whatever they’d like, this still strikes me as being rather petty. Donald Trump won the election and he was elected president of the United States. He will continue to be president of the United States even if nobody watches him be sworn in because they’re too distracted by the likes of Madonna and Lady Gaga. A mega-concert cannot change the fact that he won more Electoral College votes than Hillary Clinton did.

As I said, Donald Trump has not taken office yet. Is this an example of the divisiveness and unwillingness to work together that the Obama Administration has left us with?
