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

I had forgotten how this was going to down. I made it through five minutes. Yes, yes --they have a first amendment right to do this as everyone always piously says (which only means that the government can not arrest them or suppress their speech) -- but it is not very entertaining and does not do one thing to further their cause, which is to convince any undecided Americans of the error their ways or convert Trumpians to Katie Perry's band of "Resisters"

@beckychandler: I dont remember such political blah blah at award shows.

@Oddnelly: Not to this extent-- crazy

Hmmmmm does that apply ta that gay dude in burkley

@Goralski: Not sure who you're referring to, but yes, it would.

I realize I am repeating myself, but so is this first amendment mantra ( I have great respect for the first amendment by the way -- when I practiced law a great deal of my work involved the first amendment):

👍

very well said Aiyana.

only asking if they think this crap is furthering their cause --influencing anyone?

@Sicarium: I meant it in a nice way lol, was a serious question

@Kuronekko: Sure you did. I'm totally buying that one.

@Sicarium: like totally? that's cool. How about if I like your profile pic, always think its a good one when I see it.

you are absolutely right --and it has always been boring.

@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 ?
