I’m just so excited to talk about this – JD Vance and Usha Vance getting booed at a concert, because, you know, that’s exactly what they needed, more attention. And, can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that they were at the Kennedy Center, a place that’s supposed to be all about class and sophistication, but now it’s just a hot mess, thanks to Donald Trump and his antics.
But, let’s get back to the Vance’s, shall we? I mean, who doesn’t love a good booing, am I right? It’s like the crowd was saying, “Hey, we don’t care about your politics, we just want to enjoy some music, but no, you had to come and ruin it for us.” And, honestly, can you blame them? I mean, have you seen the state of the Kennedy Center lately? It’s like a political circus in there, with Trump at the helm, forcing out the leadership and taking over as chair of the board of trustees, all in the name of his “war” on “woke” culture.
And, what’s with the Kennedy Center, anyway? It’s like, this beautiful, historic venue, supported by government money and private donations, but now it’s just a playground for Trump’s ego, and, by extension, the Vance’s, who, might I add, were probably just thrilled to be there, soaking up all the attention, like the fame-hungry politicians they are.
But, I digress, the real question is, what were the Vance’s thinking, attending a concert at the Kennedy Center, knowing full well that the crowd was going to be, shall we say, less than receptive? Were they just looking for a way to stir up some controversy, or did they genuinely believe that they would be welcomed with open arms? (And, by the way, has anyone seen the National Symphony Orchestra perform live? Because, wow, they must have been really something, to draw in a crowd like that.)
And, can we talk about the irony of it all? I mean, the Kennedy Center, once a symbol of American culture and refinement, now it’s just a battleground for Trump’s culture wars, and the Vance’s are right in the middle of it, getting booed and jeered, like they’re some kind of rockstars or something. But, hey, at least they’re making headlines, right? (By the way, has anyone seen that new political memorabilia store that just opened up? Because, wow, they have some crazy stuff.)
But, in all seriousness, what’s going on with the Kennedy Center, and, by extension, the US politics in general? It’s like, we’re living in some kind of bizarro world, where up is down, and down is up, and the rules of decency and respect no longer apply. And, honestly, I’m just so over it all, can’t we just go back to the good old days, when politics was just about politics as usual, without all the drama and controversy? (But, hey, at least we have coffee to get us through it all, right?)
