Didn’t the same thing happen to someone else recently? A female actor had no idea that the project she was signed onto was pro-MAGA and dipped out as soon as she realized. I forget who it was, though.
It happened with the America 250 celebration thing. Almost all of the musical acts dropped out when they learned how divisive and political it was. Pretty sure they were duped into thinking it was a bipartisan “celebration” of America or something.
It was going to be, until trump won 2025 and wanted to put his stink on it.
There was a video on it, maybe Legal Eagle? They covered that it had an independent group running it initially, and I think when the contracts were signed. Then they basically stripped all their powers and gave it to a different Trump appointed group to manage.
Wow, that’s even worse than I realized. They did a bait-and-switch because they knew they couldn’t sell the real plan.
The real incentive was having a group of yes men running it for grift etc., the bait and switch was just a bonus. I think the original organization pre-dated his second term.
i am honestly curious what you mean by "political" here.
from my perspective, it's a celebration of america declaring independence 250 years ago and the continuance of it as a state in that tradition. i can't imagine anything more inherently political no matter who or what force is behind it. like, it's tautological. so what do you mean by it?
It’s a thing that should be considered bipartisan but because it was run solely by the current fascist admin, it was very much a lopsided shit show. It’s political regardless but the artists on the roster didn’t realize it was really just Nazi bullshit dressed up like it represents everyone.
ah, i see. i think i'd say "divisive" or "politically divisive" in that case, but i understand where you're coming from
