Broadway veteran Patti LuPone is speaking her truth about the current state of America and she says that if it continues under President Trump's reign come November, she's packing her bags.
Like many other performers around the globe, LuPone's career has been placed on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. The current state of the economy and the country was solely orchestrated by Trump, she says.
"This country is doomed," LuPone told Variety, of which she is one of its Power of Women honorees. "I think it is a failed experiment. I don't see us pulling ourselves out of this."
LuPone said the country has two routes in which it's going: "either fascism or dictatorship."
"I think Trump will win a second term, and I think I'll move to Ireland," she added.

White flight - Patti doesn’t want to support the cause
If I had a dollar for every celeb that promised to leave America and didn’t I could retire.
Broadway veteran. Well since Broadway is shut down til next year at least she has time on her hands.
Who cares if she stays or goes? It’s a free nation. Why wait? Pack up and leave immediately? Doesn’t she know that no one thinks that her and any other of these so called celebrities are so important that the rest of us care if they stay or go.
She was the mom on Life Goes On in the late 80s and early 90s which was the first tv show to have a major character with Down syndrome (Corky, who has Down syndrome in real life).

The very definition of a “Karen” complete with the “asymmetrical hairstyle”.
She looks like a dude in a dress, Jim.
Hey Patti how long have you benefited from the RACISM in the NY Theatre scene? Funny you would pick IRELAND and not NIGERIA to move to. Is it because IRELAND is overwhelming WHITE and NIGERIA is BLACK?
How do you spell RACIST? P-A-T-T-I L-U-P-O-N-E
“In a lengthy video post on his Facebook page, writer and performer Matthews, who co-wrote the musical Witness Uganda (retitled Invisible Thread off-Broadway), recalled his experiences putting that production together, and detailed the racism he encountered at the hands of its producers, director, and the New York City reviewers who came to see it. “It is teeming with racist theater owners, producers, directors, writers, artistic directors, choreographers, agents, managers, actors, stage managers, company managers, casting directors, press teams, and reviewers pretending to be allies. And if the word ‘racist’ stings you, it should. Because racist behavior has been stinging artists of color from the beginning,” he said.
“Broadway is WHITE,” wrote Williams, a performer and the director of the upcoming revival of Disney’s Aida, on Facebook. “Broadway values white over black. We know this because we have eyes. We see who is producing, writing, composing, arranging, directing, choreographing, casting, designing, promoting, every word we say and every move we make...If you mean the words in your statements, show us your values. Live up to your mission statements. Give us space to breathe and speak without fear of reprisal.
...and those packed bags will stay in her bedroom, collecting dust for years.
It is SO weird that people always make this hollow and idle threat. First, nobody cares. Second, everybody knows they won’t follow through, so they look stupid. Yet they don’t care if they look stupid.
It’s rather stupid if you don’t even care if you look stupid.
Patti LuPone is passe and needs free publicity, so she bashes our president like other so called entertainment trash.
“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where former entertainers/ Patti LuPone and former professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so her opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though she proves herself to be ignorant and subliterate every time she opens her mouth.”

Either they should all move or carve out their own niche here and leave the rest of us alone. They can support their socialist agenda with their loser leaders while we proceed with individual responsibility and capitalism with ours. May the best half of our society win.
“Life Goes On”
Never heard of it. But then I don’t watch much TV.
Sorry NO dynasties in the US of A.
Who is Patti Lupone? I thought she was one of Meat Loaf’s backup singers.
Yeah Yeah, y’all say this every time but then you sensitive leftist artsy fartsy types never keep your word and actually leave.
You wanna go? GTFO. You will not be missed.
She also played Boolie’s snooty wife in “Driving Miss Daisy”.
Promises, promises.....
Still waiting for all those who made similar threats in 2016.
And yes, no matter what happens this election cycle, we are doomed.
If Trump loses by vote fraud, we are screwed over.
If he wins, the left will pull allthe stops and all hell will break loose.
People really need to prep while they can.
LuPone peaked early with Evita on Broadway. Her career has been on the descendent ever since. IOW, she has been a has-been for a long time.
Never mind all these empty threats, I want it in writing backed up by a $20 million bond.
