Everything Trump touches dies. I have always loved the mission of the Kennedy Center. Now Trump is trying to destroy it. He doesn't even care about what this wonderful institution represents. Lord, please don't let him destroy it! This is a sad day for the arts and America 💔😞

ko-spyder.bsky.social•86 days ago

Whatever. Like you don't want to get dressed up to see Ted Nugent sing Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. Do you really want to miss out on that cultural juggernaut?

Beware the SO THEY CINOs

sharonformerrepub.bsky.social•86 days ago

The DC crowd will definitely not be going. The last thing I saw at The Kennedy Center was Handel's Messiah. I guess that is "woke" now. Trump ruins everything we hold dear.

To be fair Jesus would be flipping tables right now but absolutely not the tables they think he would. Jesus would boycott the Kennedy Center

apopularmonster.bsky.social•86 days ago

Oh, I think he would be beyond flipping tables.

He would be grabbing a suitcase, packing his shit, calling his REAL Dad, and getting the fuck outta dodge - flipping BOTH middle fingers along the way.

Yep, and I’m heartbroken.

I’ve been going there since I was in high school

Took my first love there (Shear Terror)

Now it’s… toxic. Put a giant shroud over it until 2028.

Shear Madness was the name.

I support the boycott, the vermin has taken over, no decent performers or people will attend.

I’ve been saying this for months. But - in fact - art IS propaganda.

jesseny.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's no longer the same organization so why would anyone have a problem with boycotting it? The leadership has been replaced with Trump sycophants so now it's the Kennedy Center in name only. Billy Ray Cyrus and Lara Trump can perform nightly for all I care.

Everyone does realize that he only did this because she spoke out against him before the election. Typical revenge for him.

evelynmaryw.bsky.social•80 days ago

Vance booed and jeered at the Kennedy Center--one more reason to respect the artists and employees who survived the MAGA bloodbath as well as those who choose to boycott. #Resistance takes many forms https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/14/jd-vance-booed-national-symphony-orchestra-concert-washington-kennedy-center?utm_source=instagram&utm_campaign=ig_gu

evelynmaryw.bsky.social•86 days ago

I also respect this, but there are also artists with integrity who will still choose to perform at the Kennedy Center rather than be chased off by the barbarians...that may be another form of resistance

evelynmaryw.bsky.social•86 days ago

I believe it's just as important to respect the decision of artists who choose to maintain a progressive presence at the KC in spite of the thuggish overthrow underway. #Resistance comes in many forms.

ctgram.bsky.social•86 days ago

Artists with integrity are the ones cancelling performances, because they have integrity. I'm not sure why you are having a hard time understanding that.

evelynmaryw.bsky.social•86 days ago

I agree that artists who cancel performances have integrity. I also respect artists who refuse to be chased off. It's entitled at best to dis-respect the choices of artists in either direction, it's equally insulting to disrespect the KC workers who survived the bloodbath.

So yet again he has taken something good and turned it into another source of evil 😈

judithkh1951.bsky.social•84 days ago

You are too kind. I think all we need is one good patriot. Back in the good old days the CIA fixed problems like this. I wish a Mexican cartel would put a hit out on both of them.

Is there such a thing as a Canadian cartel?

I hope so. Any cartel will do.

The Canuck. Sounds fearsome. I think they’re made of tougher stuff than trump.

byrrhena.bsky.social•84 days ago

I get the sentiment too, but beware and be very afraid of JD Vance, he is the silent but deadly creature of Peter Thiel. What they are planning is dystopian and terrifying if even a shred of it happens. Mike Johnson has serious problems with the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause.

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•84 days ago

nancymillervance.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's not like he ever went to the Kennedy Center Honors when he was in office the last time FFS. He's a classless uncultured poor excuse for a human being and has no business being the Chair. It's all about his fragile ego. Nauseating.
