Yes that is true - and the mass deportations, and exploitation of racism, religion and nationalism are also distractions from the unconstitutional hijacking of US federal government.

The trouble is the MAGA cult are blurring boundaries between politics, religion and now entertainment … [/quote]

Control the news, control social media, control what art gets made...

Sound familiar to anyone else?[/quote]

Except he's not going to control what art gets made by a long shot. Kennedy Center is one venue of many, and it already had the reputation of being very staid. Artists are going to do what artists are going to do...and they are going to do it another venue if the Kennedy Center doesn't like it. I say let Donald Trump run the place. Let him spend his days and nights trying to figure out the season line up and insist the NSO play only the works of John Philip Sousa and classical renditions of Kid Rock's Rock and Roll Jesus. Let him ponder ticket sale slumps. Let him redesign the gift shop. Let him do all of this, because it has nothing to do with going to war with China and firing his political adversaries or building condos in Gaza. It's the most harmless bone we can throw him.
