    [some brain-damaged speaker for the Kennedy Center said] “The Democrats have been calling artists urging them to cancel and attacking the Center non-stop.”

    Uhh, no, we haven’t.

    [And also added] “Commonsense Democrats must speak up before this violence takes a life.”

    Someone needs to send them that analysis of where almost all the political violence in the US originates from.

    Of course it was …

        As much as I would love if that narrative was true, it is typically the upper-middle to super-upper class that goes to events at the Kennedy Center. While their audience may lean slightly more left than your local country club members, they are still wealthy. I promise they are not having trouble filling seats as the wealthy do not give nearly as much of a shit about Trump as the rest of us.

        I suppose there are lots of ‘simple sabotage’ measures one could imagine. Remember in Hogan’s Heroes, they would distribute the dirt dug from the tunnels by slowly releasing it from a sack inside one’s trousers while walking about the concentration camp.
