This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Art makes life worth living, but few artists literally make life possible. If I've read this letter correctly, someone I love dearly is alive today because of Sir Tom and his "Arcadia," which play would otherwise still belong on the same shelf as King Lear and Death of a Salesman.

Say what you will about Larry Hart, Mr Sondheim, and yes, there's plenty of stuff like "when our first kiss we stole." But also lots like "While you love your lover let blue skies be your coverlet," so come on!

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

The fucking irony of this Jew to cape Third Reich white supremacist talking points BECAUSE his grandparents could assimilate into US culture when whiteness expanded just enough for them.
(One day he might find that this same conditional whiteness he was granted is more conditional+ less secure.)
