Why are we dragging some pro-Trumpian whining, complaining and end-of-times imprecations about "pure evil" regarding some fashion-show cancellations onto a Broadway and theatre chat board?

By the way, over on Twitter, if you pick the right people to follow, you can get terrific, insightful, informative theatre discussions and news, AND a wide variety of political news, opinion, and arguments, if that's what you're looking for. I'd hate to see this valuable site devolve even further away from its best suit, between the chili recipe discussions and irrelevant political hyperbole.

From its inception, didn't really GOOD Theatre deal with political topics and moral dilemmas (i.e. "Antigone")? And weren't Summer Theaters created to merely entertain folks who have no desire to THINK?

On the other hand, summertheater’s gormless postings are so easily debunked that the subsequent threads are among our more entertaining.

(And not for nothing, but the vegan chili question was entirely on-topic, and just the sort of question members should feel free to ask.)

Vegan chili at Oklahoma! I’d thankfully forgotten about that ridiculousness.
