Thats what it’s about for the masses for sure, money for the powers that be. Gonna be some sad maga faces when they realize the oligarchs have owned us all.
That will be a great opportunity urge people to not attend and to make noise. Supporters of the US and our institutions could surround the Kennedy Center and prevent people from entering.
The best thing we can all do right now is to support our local artists and musicians. Support your local LGBTQ community. Donate supplies to local art workshops, buy merch, share art online.
This is an administration of hate. They hate trans people. They hate gay people. They hate black and brown people. They hate women. They hate leftists. All their policies come from hate, pain and cruelty. This is what the Right is now. These are the online trolls made flesh. It’s gross & evil.
Trump is so pathological, he now believes every single word that comes out of his mouth about January 6th. This isn't about the libs at all. This is the pathetic, saggy, anemic victory lap he feels he's owed.
Compulsive liars like Trump and Musk repeat a lie so often, they start to believe it. They have to. You can make them admit they're lying occasionally, but they'll justify the lie as being necessary for their survival. The adults around him are enablers. This is his truth. I don't doubt that at all.
It's not only compulsive lying, it's a severe personality disorder that makes reality indistinguishable from fantasy for him. Whatever his ego needs to be true, is true.
I don’t see any of it as being that deep. If there were no consequences for lying, more people would lie. Trump is one of very few people who has never faced consequences for lying. He doesn’t need to live in an alternate reality because regular reality is great for him
He's not just petty and vindictive.
He holds grudges forever.
Even when the basis for the grudge is a lie - his lie.
And he will do anything to try to prove that he was right.
Anything.
Once you finally crush the fascists you should not repeat the mistakes of Germany after WWII and leave them unpunished. You should pass laws to prevent them and their collaborators from holding any public office and you should sieze their wealth so they cannot influence politics ever again.
A performative demonstration of the triumph of violent thuggery over art and culture, the expressive freedom of which fascists throughout history have feared.
They could probably manage a sea shanty parody. I've been working on one based on Stan Rogers, Barrett's Privateers:
(To the tune of Barrett’s Privateers by Stan Rogers)
[Verse 1]
Oh, the year was two thousand and twenty-five,
How I wish I’d voted for Kamala now!
When a call came down from Mar-a-Lago’s heights,
To sail for fortune and billionaire rights...
God damn them all!
For poor Elon cried, "The world is lost!
We’ll win it back at any cost!"
Twenty rich fools sailed his way,
To remake the world and terraform Mars someday...
That bunch could never manage a shanty! Now that the shitgibbon heads up the Kennedy Center, expect jugglers on unicycles and "pro" wrestling. Seriously. The man has no taste at all. Look at his penthouse in Trump Tower.
They'll also sing Dixie, and a bunch of other classic Confederate and Slavery-era Southern tunes,
and the Horst Wessel song is also popular.
"Horst Wessel Lied's 16 lines long! Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
We don't speak German - we'll pronounce it wrong!
O-de-doo-da-day!
Gwine t' hate all night, gwine t'..."
I know how hard it is to get a job in the arts, but every musician, performer, and worker employed at the Kennedy Center should quit, right now. Because, tbh, the longer they stay, the harder it might get for them to get hired anywhere else. Do Not Obey. Do Not Collaborate.
Let's just rename it the Trump Center and get it over with. Don't sully the Kennedy Center name with a choir of seditionists and thugs. Reconstitute a new Kennedy Center when all this nonsense has ended.
I suggest egg shaped turds, those plastic gloves that we have stowed from the last COVID mess can keep hands clean. And nothing like a dog ball launcher to get some good loft on your projectile!
I wonder what would happen if they were led to believe that the libs were now taking their positions. Would they suddenly flip to being decent human beings?
This is what bullies do. They attack you in subtle ways, declare these as jokes and your soft or "woke". The one thing you dont do for a bully is give them your rage or passion. You destroy them methodically and coldly.
The next step will be choreographed military parades with oversized portraits of the great leader required by edict to be displayed in every government office and place of public business.
I want this to happen so white people can own this lock, stock & barrel. I don't care how this sounds to you. You all could've stopped this & you chose not only not to do so but to double down. There is a reason so many of you do not want to make eye contact with black folks. OWN THIS. HE IS YOURS!
The billionaire ruling class is sociopathic, what do people expect? The only way to cure Trumpism is to let them fail on a spectacular scale (Great Recession) until the name “Trump" is synonymous with weakness, failure, and evil.
From the ashes, good people will rise to rebuild a nation.
The twisted irony of the rightwing #rubes who love their guns is how they say they have guns in case the govt becomes tyrannical, yet they will fully support tyranny if it “owns the libs”
Anyone who still thinks this regime is "Making America Great Again" & patriots clearly lack an understanding of the constitution and the structure of America's check and balance government by design. By accepting this regime without issue, they also display their personal lack of values and ethics.
I seriously thought this was parody when I saw another post about it. Private donors generous contributions used towards this disgusting display of fascism is shameful. (The government only funds the maintenance and upkeep of the building, everything else is funded by donations and ticket sales.)

Absolutely despicable.

Here in the UK. I'm so sorry.
Because if he lost, proof it was stolen last time, and if they won, proof it was stolen last time.
Can any of them even sing?

A million dead, or a little bit worse!

That place is now forever tarnished.
Accidentally Hysterical!
"OK, guys, that sounded better, but I'm not really hearing my baritones."
"Yeah, we're missing Bob. He's in prison again. Drank a fifth of Jack and ran over a nun."
Drowned in hate and evil because you need therp.
We now have two choices. Live free or kneel to your MAGA king like a slave.
Color? Gender? Race? Immigrant? Rural? Urban? Worker? Boss? Poor? Rich? Red? Blue? Your flag is one of these.
I know which one is mine.
