I wrote awhile back about the general reluctance of many performers to get politically involved,
while (on the other hand) a 'select' few SEEMINGLY unlikely artists saw a Trump endorsement as some kind of cash cow,
in spite of the general outrage of their traditional fanbase. And that's still occurring.
But for those who THOUGHT to play it safe, Trump has made that difficult if not impossible, by politicizing entertainment itself.
By putting his malevolent thumb upon everything from movie production, programming, newscasts, late nite talk shows, performing arts, corporate buyouts, etc. - to national and international sporting organizations and major events.
Like the malignant cancer he is.
So now it's gotten so that who performs, where one performs, and for whom, amounts to an endorsement or ideological statement.
Imo, the price paid for timidity, indifference, and silence in the face of fascism.
