If Trump has declared himself King, then we already have our anthem:
🎶 There is a flame that never dies,
Even the darkest night will end & the sun will rise
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong & stand with me?
Do you hear the people sing?
It is the future that they bring 🎶
🎶 There is a flame that never dies,
Even the darkest night will end & the sun will rise
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong & stand with me?
Do you hear the people sing?
It is the future that they bring 🎶

And then Marius coming in with his soft "love sounding" voice.
Broadway and musicals have to tell their stories in music, so they put so much character into each voice and each line chosen.
The symbolism would fly way over his head.
It's not like a song is gonna change his black shriveled up heart anyways
Regardless, I think it should belong to the people.
And I’m so happy about the diversity of the chorus, especially the woman standing in front of Trump.
I really do hope the fine people of that chorus felt the meaning.
Singing the song of angry men.
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free! 🎶
Send in the Clowns has been used appropriately many times!
They will always co-opt the culture "the people" produce...
Because they can't produce it.
The actual song has:
🎶 Singing the song of angry men.

Since the finale included the whole cast.
The initial song is mostly the men.
While people who only know the finale would have missed that context. (& that may be why it was used).
However, nobody would use this song to impassion the persecution of DEI, immigrants, trans, or women. Nobody!
And yet beware, the army we fight is a dangerous foe.
We need a sign, to rally the people, to call them to arms, and to bring them in line! 🎶
So Les Miserables cannot, by narrative, be their anthem.
Trump & Musk are willingly playing the monarchs in the story.
🎶 It is time for us all to decide who we are.
Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourselves what's the price you might pay?
Is it simply a game for rich young boys to play?
The color of the world is changing day by day. 🎶

Open your eyes time to wake up
Enough is enough is enough is enough
We're taught that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies
They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They're taking over the board rooms and they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
Thanks for the reminder. ✊🏼🎶
