It used to be one lonely thumbs up, now we’re at three. Someone was busy making new email addresses and registering accounts.

This is a problem. Facts matter. Thank you for pointing out the core of the problem.

I'd rather stick to the facts of what he is actually saying. This man is on your side, saving your future, keeping you safe, protecting you. He deserves more of your love.

In any case all theatres should boycott this unprofessional Les Mis tour. Actors threatening audiences and only showing up if 100% of the audience agrees with their political views, supported by production members is too unreliable and not a way to do business.

Seb28, you do know what the plot of Les Misérables is, correct? It’s not shocking at all when cast members telling this story reacted this way when they heard someone was using their performance as a fundraiser for something they didn’t believe in. If it were any other person, this wouldn’t even be allowed unless it were a charity or program that the production aligned with. I bet many performers already felt contentious, knowing the Kennedy Center run was coming up and Trump took over and decimated it.

This is theatre; it’s not surgery or public service. Performing in the show might be their job and livelihood, but it seems like these actors would rather withhold their talent to stand up for something they believe in, even if it likely puts their jobs and reputations in jeopardy. If the tables were turned, many would say, “good for them/good riddance.” And it worked because here we are discussing the situation and other hypotheticals.

Anyway, we don’t have to be Islamophobic in these chats, oof.

I would say the troll has won in this thread because instead of discussing the original topic of the boycott at Kennedy Center it has been turned into a platform for injecting Steven Miller into our heads.

Islamophobia doesn't exist. It is a sly made up term to serve the plan. To undermine any form of Islam criticism. To silence people. If you really know and understand Islam you would know the threat and fear are not unfounded, so the term is incorrect per definition.

Valjean and Stephen Miller do indeed have similarities. Both were attacked by the unawake masses who were eventually forced (by facts) to see their truth. Both saviors, both having real character, while the rabble kept insisting on portraying them as a criminal for too long.

Someone (only 1) is liking your posts minutes after you post them. You're obviously doing it yourself.

OH MY GOD EVERYONE PLEASE IGNORE THE TROLL. ENOUGH ALREADY.

Today’s the day! Have there been any confirmed call outs yet?

I hope that if these “professionals” do this, Trump closes the Center, rips out everything theatrical and reopens it as a museum!
