Do the musicians, who are spoiling the Grammys, think their political antics will turn one undecided American against Trump?

Doesn't really matter. They may be musicians, but they're also Americans, exercising their First Amendment Rights. And I know they've probably gotten a few folks thinking---that's why the right gets so upset whenever they speak.

Yes, yes --that first amendment right --it only means the government can not arrest them for their speech or suppress/censor it.

@beckychandler: That's right. So you can express your displeasure by choosing not to watch the show and not listening to or buying the artists' music.

@bijouxbroussard: and I did. And then, knowing I would not be arrested for doing so, expressed my opinion that it is not very entertaining and does not further the goal they presumably are seeking. A bunch of rappers and Katie Perry whining about Trump is not going to change the mind of a single ordinary American in Flyover Zone. But I really don't care if they are wasting their time, but if they are spoiling my entertainment I do.

@beckychandler: You assume it changes no minds, but do you really know that for certain ? Were you annoyed at Joy Villa's "Trump" dress ? Or isn't it just when you disagree ?
