They\u2019re talking about it at Prost\u2019s happy hour, in the bleachers at Nationals Park, in security meetings at City Hall and in at least one Republican office in the Senate. Maybe they\u2019re talking about it at the White House \u2014 how could they not be? \u2014 but if you ask the people who work in the West Wing, they get skittish or don\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=64\">An HHS Official\u2019s Stock Trading Is Raising Flags<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t piss off Trump,\u201d one Republican operative says, declining an interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it would be a good look for me personally in my career,\u201d says another, who declined to answer questions on the record.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen brings his rousing anti-Trump roadshow to a capital city consumed by questions of loyalty under an administration that demands it. And for some Republicans, there can only be one Boss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re watching Donald Trump on a revenge tour, and as incredible as it sounds, it is not out of the realm of possibility that somebody could be spotted at this concert and be told they don\u2019t need to show up for work on Monday,\u201d said Doug Heye, a GOP consultant and perhaps the best-known Republican fan of Bruce Springsteen in the city.<\/p>\n<p>While Springsteen has always been political, the \u201cLand of Hope and Dreams American Tour\u201d \u2013 unofficially the \u201cNo Kings Tour\u201d \u2014 is his most defiant, most focused and most direct salvo in decades. He starts and ends a three-hour setlist with reborn protest anthems, \u201cWar\u201d and \u201cChimes of Freedom,\u201d and though at 76 he\u2019s traded his black boots for more comfortable black Hokas, his voice sounds as vivid as ever.<\/p>\n<p>He urges fans to choose love over hate, truth over lies and democracy over authoritarianism. He leads the crowd in chanting \u201cICE out now!\u201d He channels John Lewis in calling for \u201cgood trouble, necessary trouble.\u201d And he uses the encore not to pacify his audiences but to demand they act.<\/p>\n<p>To the more-salt-than-pepper superfans who started lining up outside Nationals Park during a downpour Friday morning \u2014 six full days before the show \u2014 The Boss is, as he says, fighting for America as \u201can argument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Trump loyalists, though, it\u2019s complicated. The president escalated his long-standing feud with the musician last month by calling him a \u201cdried up prune\u201d with \u201ca horrible and incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d And then last week Springsteen played the next-to-last episode of \u201cThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert,\u201d which was canceled because, as the Boss says, Trump can\u2019t take a joke.<\/p>\n<p>Republican fans have struggled with the tour since Springsteen announced it in February. For the first time in years, Chris Pack, a veteran Republican strategist, found it difficult to put off his chiding friends with the regular refrain about compartmentalizing the politics and appreciating the music.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Early on, Pack, a longtime fan, bought tickets for a couple shows anyway. Springsteen was 76, and his daughter Lydia was 8. He cherished videos of baby Lydia dancing to \u201cNightshift,\u201d and he made her first concert a Springsteen show in \u201924. You never know how many more times you\u2019ll get to do this, he told himself.<\/p>\n<p>Out of love and trepidation, Pack subscribed to nugs.net, which livestreams concerts, and started following the tour. Springsteen intentionally kicked off in Minneapolis, Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles, places beset by raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. His forceful speeches led Time magazine to call it one of \u201cthe most unflinching acts of musical and theatrical resistance mounted against Donald Trump\u2014or any president, for that matter\u2014in the nation\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One afternoon, Pack and his daughter were listening to a show in the backyard and throwing a Nerf football. His wife came outside, Pack remembered, and heard one of the speeches in which Springsteen criticized federal immigration agents for killing two people in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhoa, what is she listening to?\u201d his wife said.<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t wrong, he thought.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be taught that police officers all kill people and murder people in cold blood,\u201d he told NOTUS later.<\/p>\n<p>Pack decided to take Lydia to the bathroom during the most political parts of the show. But days later, he listened to a recording of Springsteen opening a show in New York with his monologue about how his beloved country was in the grips of a \u201ccorrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pack listed his three Cleveland tickets for sale, and within 90 minutes, they were gone.<\/p>\n<p>He took a loss, he said. But he didn\u2019t care because he was standing up for friends in the administration who \u201cdon\u2019t have a racist bone in their body.\u201d He didn\u2019t want to explain to his daughter why Springsteen insulted \u201cpeople who were there for me during some of the lowest points in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, other Republicans echoed Pack\u2019s criticisms of the tour. \u201cDark,\u201d \u201cdivisive,\u201d \u201cvulgar.\u201d They called Springsteen a class traitor, pointing out a significant portion of the working class voted for Trump, and they called him a hypocrite because he spent the show bashing the administration and then ended it by lamenting the yawning distance between neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=62\">Samuel Alito\u2019s Son Has Been Quietly Working for Trump\u2019s Treasury Department<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sit with people at the ballpark, and they say, \u2018I\u2019m not going to that,\u2019\u201d said Tom Davis, a former Republican congressman from Virginia. \u201cThe guy\u2019s a college dropout. I don\u2019t need to hear him lecturing me about democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a phone interview, Davis turned to his wife, Jeannemarie Devolites Davis, a former Republican politician in Virginia, and asked if she wanted to go to the Springsteen show at Nats Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d rather be shot in the head,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>One chief of staff to a Republican in the Senate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, conducted a small, impromptu poll of Springsteen fans on his staff. Two didn\u2019t care about the musician\u2019s politics, two did. It\u2019s \u201cpuzzling that Springsteen doesn\u2019t much care about possibly offending some of his long-time fans,\u201d one of them said, according to the chief.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Other Republicans seemed to believe the safest move was keeping quiet. None of the three GOP lawmakers who represent New Jersey in Congress responded to requests for comment. Neither did spokespeople for the White House or for former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the most famous Republican Springsteen fan of them all.<\/p>\n<p>Christie, who\u2019s been to 180 shows, was backstage earlier this month in Brooklyn and at Madison Square Garden. In Brooklyn, Christie went viral after it appeared that Springsteen snubbed him by walking by without shaking his hand. But the musician\u2019s longtime manager told Rolling Stone the idea of a rift between the two was \u201cabsurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the pit line for the best floor seats, which grew to 50, then 100, then 250 over the long weekend, fans buzzed about whether Springsteen might have something special planned in Trump\u2019s backyard. And while many were liberal Americans, the line was also full of tourists from all over the world who described feeling generally dispassionate about U.S. politics until forced to interact with them on this tour.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jamie and Dawn Haydon, a Scottish couple, half-jokingly said they were nervous to tell the border patrol agent at the airport why they were here.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Balind, a superfan from Australia whose email starts with the phrase \u201ctrampslikeus,\u201d didn\u2019t consider himself political, but specifically bought tickets for this show because the setting felt poignant. \u201cAmerica needs this, I think,\u201d he said. \u201cWatching from afar \u2014 you see it on our TVs, certainly every night \u2014 it\u2019s in despair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pablo Garcia, a Spanish man who lives in Indiana, arrived early enough to get No. 23. But on Sunday night, he got an email telling him to report to Kentucky on Tuesday for biometric tests as part of his application for a green card.<\/p>\n<p>He asked his lawyer if he could reschedule it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the dentist,\u201d the lawyer said.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia flew to Indiana, drove to Kentucky, gave his fingerprints and then drove back to D.C. He arrived at 2 a.m. Wednesday but lost his place in line.<\/p>\n<p>Underneath the warmth of anticipation in the pit line was some of the same anger Springsteen channels onstage \u2014 and they focused on something the musician hadn\u2019t said much about.<\/p>\n<p>Many in line paid $500 or more for these tickets. They bemoaned the Department of Justice\u2019s recent settlement with Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, which stopped what could\u2019ve led to a breakup of the company under antitrust law. They bemoaned Springsteen\u2019s participation in \u201cdynamic pricing,\u201d in which Live Nation\u2019s algorithms used the tour\u2019s popularity to drive the cost of floor seats into the thousands. They contrasted the coldness of the corporation with the warmth of Springsteen, negotiating the private tension of their own fandom.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As the D.C. show drew closer, some Republican fans remained unsure about whether to attend. They jokingly called themselves \u201ccloseted\u201d and worried a mention on TMZ DC or in an insider newsletter like Politico Playbook would lead to retribution from the White House. They worried the feud between Springsteen and Trump would somehow escalate from social-media posts into real-world violence.<\/p>\n<p>The Metropolitan Police Department did not anticipate an increased chance of violence and made no special security plans for this show, a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>One Republican who harbored no doubts about whether he\u2019d attend was Heye, the consultant and longtime Trump critic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can pump my fist to \u2018Badlands\u2019 and not have a concern in the world,\u201d he said. \u201cIf putting on the red hat means you need to be nervous about going to rock concerts, then there are probably other issues at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=60\">Gallego Establishes a Legal Defense Fund to Fight an Ethics Complaint<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Springsteen\u2019s latest tour has been unofficially dubbed the \u201cNo Kings Tour,\u201d putting his diehard GOP fans in a tough spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-republicans"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
