2025 Presidency and Entertainment Industry

As we collect out thoughts of what happened in the past 24 hours, I want to know what will happen to the entertainment industry if our government goes from democracy to fascism?

(Let’s be respectful please in our responses. I just want to know what might happen)

With everything Trump announced he would do, I don't think entertainment was touched upon. I think it's safe (for now, who really knows)

Best case scenario: public funding for the arts will continue to be a pittance.

Obviously they’ll require all actors to carry a gun.

Dark days are ahead of us! Darker than the pandemic!

Rich entertainers and producers, yes. Most actors and technicians are living paycheck to paycheck without the help of their families. In a world where labor protections are weakened, those with the means to afford the rent will continue to do art, and those without will find work elsewhere."

Statistically many of those actors and technicians probably voted for the change we got last night. Trump got 94k more votes in NYC last night than he did in 2020.

Politics is the entertainment industry.

Trump is a show-pony.

Kamala is a work-horse. This was her failing.

Sad.

There will be a profound effect as producers and investors appeal to the tastes of the majority.

It is not just tourist shows, but all shows that will need the support of Trump voters.

^ Yes, and this is not really anything new.

Remember when Trump was the 45th President and Shakespeare in the Park performed Julius Caesar with Caesar as Trump, stabbing him to death at the end?

Remind me - who was arrested over that? Who went to jail? Who lost their jobs? What organizations lost their funding? Who was de-platformed? Who was censored?

Bonus question: What administration mandated the population take an experimental drug or lose their jobs?

Asking for a friend.

Shakespeare In The Park lost two major sponsors because of that production

But I don't expect an anti-vaxxer to know much about history, recent or otherwise.

(Julius Caesar is killed near the beginning of Julius Caesar ​​​​​​, not the end)

He had Dana White on stage last night who thanked the frigging Nelk Boys. How is the entertainment industry not already involved?
