Miksi Puerto Rico on Trumpin ja huumorin kohde? Lue lisää tästä naurettavasta keissistä!

Entinen presidentti Donald Trump veti viime lauantaina täyden salin ihmisiä Madison Square Gardeniin, mutta ei kehumalla saavuttamillaan asioilla tai politiikalla, vaan hämmästyttävällä Puerto Rico -kommentilla. Huumorikoulun pääopettaja Tony Hinchcliffe järkytti yleisöä nimittämällä Puerto Ricoa "pölynimurisi saareksi". Kyseessä ei ollut pelkästään huvittava puheenvuoro, vaan valtava laukku politiikan tarjoamaa viihdettä ja käänteitä, jotka vetivät linjan politiikasta ja sen pahenevasta huumorista.

Johtavat republikaanit pyrkivät keräämään rivinsä ja koventamaan sanojaan Hinchcliffen kommenttien jälkeen, mutta tilanne ei ollut niin yksinkertainen, kuin voisi kuvitella. Kamala Harris käytti näyttöruutua Puerto Ricon puolesta, kyseenalaistaen Trumpin ja hänen tukijoidensa käsitykset saaresta, jota on usein kohdeltu väheksyvästi. Tämä sanasota ja vilpillinen huumori nostivat esiin kysymyksen, voiko Puerto Rico äänestää presidentistä — vastaus on ei, ja juuri tämä asia ärsyttää monia saaren asukkaita.

Miksi Puerto Rico on niin tärkeä keskustelunaihe? Yli kolme miljoonaa amerikkalaista ei voi äänestää presidentistä, mikä tuo esiin valtioiden väliset eriarvoisuudet. Mikä pahinta, Trumpin seurauksena, Puerto Ricon maineet ja huumori ovat kysymysmerkin alla. Komedian ja politiikan sekoittaminen ei kuitenkaan ole uusi innovaatio, sillä se herättää keskustelua virallisista ja epävirallisista käsityksistä.

Vaikka monet kritisoivat Trumpin ja komedian yhteisistä tilaisuuksista syntyviä loukkauksia, yksi asia nousee ylitse muiden: Puerto Ricon tunnetut artistit, kuten Bad Bunny, käyttävät kanaviaan puolustamaan saartaan. Hänen tukensa Kamala Harrisille vihjaa siihen, että taide, politiikka ja humoristiset loukkaukset voivat tehdä mitä tahansa — yhdistää ja jakaa mielipiteitä. Ehkä seuraavassa politiikassa ei olekaan kyse vain presidenttien äänistä, vaan kulttuurista ja huumorista, joka muistuttaa meitä, mistä on kysymys.

Tiesitkö, että Puerto Ricon itsenäisyys on ollut keskustelunaihe vuodesta 1898? Vaikka se on Yhdysvaltojen alue, Puerto Ricolaisilla ei ole äänestysoikeutta presidentin vaaleissa. Tämä aiheuttaa protesteja ja kysymyksiä sosiaalisen oikeudenmukaisuuden puolesta jopa huumorin kautta. Ja hei, kuka sanoi, ettei politiikkaa voi tehdä nauramalla? Riemastuttavia ja ajankohtaisia aiheita huumorin kautta, niin me voimme puhua - tai ainakin nauraa - yhdessä!
