I had little to do with the fall of the Berlin Wall 35 years ago. Like the billions who grew up with the monstrous structure, I thrilled to watch it get torn down by Germans on each side of it. And I celebrated the man responsible for the glorious sight, in journalism and fiction, although he was no longer President. Ronald Reagan brought down the Soviet Union with a singular vision which dispelled a 70-year-old belief — that the Cold War was the permanent status quo. He’d articulated it a decade earlier and shaken the world. “Here’s my strategy on the Cold War,” Reagan said. “We win, they lose.”

...

Today, they would rather lose money by imposing unwanted fantasy dreck about butt-kicking women (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, The Marvels), mutating boy-friendly franchises into girl-driven flops (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Mad Max), and defeminizing beloved fairy tales. On that third point, nothing has been more unintentionally entertaining than Snow White starlet Rachel Zegler being a one girl wrecking crew against her movie, once trusted Disney, and the beloved film that built it.

As I wrote last summer, Zegler obnoxiously ridiculed the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as “weird, weird” and Prince Charming as “a stalker.” “She’s not going to be saved by the Prince,” Zegler snorted. “And she’s not going to be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.” Scratch every romance-loving girl and mom from the potential audience.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

A panicked Disney delayed the movie till next year, had Rachel issue a hostage-video apology, then sent her into hiding. All seemed tranquil until the Night that Wrecked Hollywoke — Trump’s blowout of Kamala Harris. It drove Zegler back into the spotlight with a Trump Derangement Instagram screed against his voters, the traditional family base for a Disney film:

I find myself speechless in the midst of this. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in. Leaning us towards a world that will force her to have a baby she doesn’t want. Leaning us towards a world that is fearful.

I shouldn’t be this shocked. But I am. I am heartbroken for my friends who awoke in fear this morning. And I am here with you. To cry, to yell, to hug. To wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. This loss should not have been. And it certainly should not have been by so many votes.
