I watched Hamilton with my daughter tonight. Probably seen or heard the album more times than I can count. She's very theater kid and she's analyzed the costumes, the singing, etc. Every damn time I see something new. Tonight the "teach em how to say goodbye" song from Washington for his farewell address floored me again like it always does. First Chris Jackson who plays Washington has a great voice. He, Leslie Odom and Renee Goldberry (Angelica) are the top three in that for me.
That song though...written before Trump attempted his Jan 6 coup. Before he had his tantrum because he lost. Its powerful. America is full of people motivated by that....angry with that. They may have been exhausted by the stupid WWE/MMA idiocy of the far right and its manufactured anger but they know what real outrage is and they will react appropriately come the time. The stakes are that Trump will not leave office even if he loses or ignore the constitution or put people in power who will rubber stamp his whims like Project 2025 says he will. People will know that when the time comes.
