They know its something humans are supposed to enjoy but they do not understand it. Part of this is the MAGA ethos. Part of this is narcissism. They always see themselves as the heroes, even when the art deliberately portrays them as the villains.
Star Trek? They would hate living in the Federation. A cashless society where scarcity does not exist and people are free to do whatever they want with their lives and love and marry whomever and worship or not worship any gods? A one Earth government without nationalism or hard borders? Shit, they'd hate it.
The Bible? Well, they're always Moses and never Pharoah. Always Peter and never Judas Iscariot. Always the disciples and never the Pharisees.
Seriously, The Sound Of Music would be too something to someone who objects to Nazis being portrayed in a bad light. For example, wanting to annex your country, spying and informing on you, trying to date your "sixteen going on seventeen" year-old daughter...
You're damn right artists are intolerant of your conforming, cookie cutter, everyone must behave the way I want them to, fascist, militant, bully pulpit, tacky ass.
“ The Kennedy Center wants to be a place where people of all political stripes sit next to each other and never ask who someone voted for but instead enjoys a performance together.”
Spoiler: It was before. Now they’ve ruined it.
I also find it ironic that they don’t want to spend $200M for gay pride but will spend upteen dollars for military parade for a 3 X draft dodger.
Ric Grenell and all of MAGA are such hypocrites. "Free Speech" is only what they declare to be acceptable. They used to cry about conservatives being censored, and now they are bannning books and banning any words related to diversity, equity and inclusion.
trump probably claimed that he likes "Les Miz' better than "Hamilton" because it was the first musical that popped into his head. Clearly he has no idea what it's about, or "Hamilton" for that matter, or the other musicals that he mentioned, because none of them align with his message of hate. And, yes, as you mentioned, they are all woke in their own way.
As always, free speech means that you must be subjected to slurs and even people who hate you, but you can't call them out on it, or remove yourself from the bigots' presence.
Also this is about exercising power and that anything by a racial or sexual minority is to be considered "degenerate" and un-American. And as expected this maladministration is decimating the arts community in my town.
President Klan Robe only likes the music from these shows; it gives him a little dopamine hit. But the bigger hit comes from people cowering to him. So bravo to Mr. Miranda! And his sadism...necessary for the sadopopulism that is the main attraction for his supporters, gives him joy. Seeing people hurt gives him joy. Seeing people desperate gives him joy...especially if it's one of the minorities this pricktator hates.
Mr. Culture and sophistication himself. With every word.that comes out of his revolting mouth and damaged brain, Donnie proves himself to be the imbecile that he was born to be. You know that thing that you carry in your jacket Donnie? That rectangular thing that you type your disgusting truths into and that Melania calls you on to find out if you'll be home for dinner or Vlad to see how your progressing with getting him.Ukraine? It's called a smartphone. It also has a browser,, and miracle of miracles, you can actually Google to see if dear Betty is still with us yourself. Ask Barron to show you. Come on, you can do it. You're like, really smart LOL.
Ric Grenell is a hypocrite!.He's gay. How is he okay with this terrible treatment and pulling funds.from the LGBTQ community and the arts and DEI? He wants the KC center for all? He's a liar. They say he is one of the most awful and meanest of people. .Oh, but he's Christian so that makes it okay. "We're going to bring Christ back to Christmas" at TKC. How does transgender Caitlyn Jenner support this hateful bigot Trump?
You're right Stephen..They will probably have to book high school productions of juke box musicals (good for the kids experience and their dreams) in the interim, because nobody with a reputation is going to put their productions there. "MAGA Knockoffs" 😂
Fyi. I have never seen CATS! Betty Buckley's voice is EXTRAORDINARY! Thank you for the video. .She's also very imperious (I had a.friend who studied voice.with her) so that Thanksgiving anecdote about the Trump mug was so her! And Patti Lupone haha.
Next he will want to be Hollywood Mogul. Shari Redstone, you better cough up Paramount to him otherwise your merger with Skydance isn't going through! You sold your soul to him over 60 Minutes, and now you will have to hand over your company. Enjoy your payment in Trump meme coins.
There are always people in regimes like this who think if they suck up enough they'll be the "Good One" who doesn't get eliminated. They're always wrong, of course, but they certainly try.
I wonder if he has a clue what LesMis is actually about.
They do not understand art.

This administration canceled an NEA
Grant to our local independent arts movie theater , The Loft Cinema, because it doesn’t align with their values.
Why would any decent person want to align with his values.
