For proof that the snowflake tendency runs as deeply among Trumpites as it does among campus censors, look no further than the Madonna controversy.
Yes, the dowager duchess of pop, the 58-year-old who sings about being a “girl gone wild,” has let her mouth land her in hot water again. Her speechcrime this time? To admit in public that she fantasized about blowing up the White House after Trump won it.
In an otherwise typically Madonna speech at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. — all “fuck you”s and “look-at-me”s — she said she had “thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.” She thought better of it, though, and decided it would be more effective to challenge Trump with a “revolution of love” and through her music. Ick. Maybe the blowing-up wouldn’t have been so bad after all.
The outrage was instant and predictable. Brendan O’Neill breaks it all down.
