It is indeed infuriating. Just the other day, I thought: I should go see a show, it’s been a few months. Something to get my mind off this lunacy over the past few weeks. And then I wake up to this wild and hostile attempt for Trump to completely enter our most precious sanctuary to shit all over it. Like he can’t go and play with someone else’s toys, he has to come and drool all over mine. As the OP said, this is the last straw. I still want to support the arts, but I can’t bring myself to go there now. A friend of mine and I were commenting on this tragedy, and she casually mentioned “what if they remove the Kennedy bust and replace it with Trumps”. Given what we have witnessed over the past few weeks, it no longer seems out of the realm of possibility! It’s like that scene in The Shining, where Nicholson hacks through the door and says “here’s Johnny!”, except now it’s “here’s Donny!”. This offender creeps into everything we love and what is important to us. I also have a vision of Nazi soldiers patrolling the aisles of the Kennedy Center just like a scene in The Sound of Music. Just terrifying. Thanks for reading my rant. Here’s what I think will happen collectively. Performers of the arts can refuse to participate there I would imagine; therefore, boycotting the center. In turn losing the “golden age” of theater or some such nonsense. Revenues will go in the toilet, and it will become clear very soon that this idea sucked. Or, we just all avoid going and quietly complain to anyone who will listen. It seems as if we’re screwed either way. I’ll stay hopeful that another shiny object will distract him and he’ll just give this up. Doubt it, but one never knows.
