[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is so much to protest right now, but if you are a patron of the arts, this entire boycott is dumb. I won’t call it the Trump Kennedy Center, (and it’s the Department of Defense and the Gulf of Mexico), but unless they were telling the resident companies which pieces they could and could not do, it’s the arts that get harmed. I would not spend my money on shows and performances in which I had no interest or could be construed as a bribe, but if other people wanted to because it’s what they want to see, that not my concern. We are starting to hit the point where everything I want to see is canceled but I’m still not sure how that’s helping the artists. [/quote]

How can you call it dumb? This was an authoritarian takeover of a venerable bipartisan institution. For a president who only cares about revenues and self-glorification, you have to hit him where it hurts.[/quote]

If it’s a bipartisan institution, then why can’t its name include both a republican and a democrat?

After naming himself president of the board, which he then filled with maga lackeys? Even to the point of manipulating votes for said naming? Can you possibly be serious? Name any other president who did this. We'll wait.[/quote]
