Roseanne: The Revival (controversy erupts over tweet by Roseanne, ABC cancels show)

Interesting article from kareem Abdul Jabbar
======================================================

Unfortunately for Trump supporters, Roseanne is like that cinnamon roll in which some people claim to see the face of Jesus.

If you’re looking for saviors in your pastry, you’ll eventually find it. If you’re looking for pro-Trump proselytizing in Roseanne, you’ll be feasting on your own imagination.

Because when you look at the actual content of the first three shows, you see a deliberate lack of any substantive arguments, facts, statistics, or credible authorities that generally are the tools of forming educated opinions.

It’s not there, nor should we expect it. It’s a sitcom, folks, not a poli-sci lecture.

What you will find is a powerful reflection of the oppressive daily struggles that many Americans deal with.

The show doesn’t directly preach a political take on these issues, but merely by highlighting them, it’s clear to those who follow legitimate news sources that the Conners’ problems, which have existed through previous administrations, have been exasperated by the Trump Administration.

Trump’s attacks on health care, including Medicaid, have worsened the Conners’ ability to afford necessary medication.

Trump’s support of legislation targeting the LGBTQ community will affect the Conners’ gender-fluid grandson, not just regarding clothing choices, but in legitimizing public animosity against him.

Administration rollbacks on social welfare programs could impact the Conners children fighting to make ends meet. The biggest issue for the Conners is the economy.

Unemployment and economic growth are on par with President Obama’s last term, so Trump has been able to continue the momentum.

But Trumps’ massive tax cut threatens to add a huge budget deficit which means even greater cuts to programs that protect and support people like the Conners.

Basically, Roseanne Conners is like a student at Trump University during the investigation of fraud, still hoping her degree will mean something.....................
