Finally — a proposal that will unite Americans across the political spectrum. Vox’s Todd VanDerWerff writes today that Hollywood should cancel its upcoming Oscars broadcast if it wants to put teeth into its opposition to Donald Trump and his policies:

What a great idea! Do it and do it some.

My son’s room is still filled with Computer Shopper magazines that he won’t let me throw out.

He doesn’t want his home cluttered.

[Pollster1]

I’m okay with that. What is the point of the awards show if Film Actors Guild members are already putting out their political rants on Twitter and YouTube?

[Mr. Douglas]

Yeah, in my dreams. :)

[Lopeover]

Answer to my prayers!

Hate seeing Breitbart News cluttered with the screeds of these arrogant Hollywood totalitarians!

[Darksheare]

Yeah!
It’ll be so terrible to not see the ‘actors’ waxing ecstatic over drivel.
(Okay, I can’t keep that up for long.)

[FrankR]

Yeah! THAT’LL make Trump Change his mind...do it!

[BlueLancer]

Oh, please, Br’er Fox ... don’t throw me in that briar patch!

[gibsonguy]

These fools actually think they are important. The other day Clooney said they should go on strike. Hilarious. I say do it,do it!

[A message]

Ah, the court jesters awards. How would humanity survive without jesters patting themselves on the back and giving each other awards.

I am trembling at the thought of this fearsome suggestion.

[deweyfrank]

NOOOOO!! What will I watch? /s

[Rummyfan]

Please do! No one will miss that four-hour self-congratulatory ass-kissing ego fest.

[georgiegirl]

O noes! NOT that! How will we bear it, not to see all those narcissists gathered together honoring each other? Better question, how can I boycot Oscar (have for years) if they protest?

[Oldexpat]

Oh. And take LA off the list for the Olyimpics also.

[liberalism is suicide]

Like this will change Trump’s mind. Suuure it will!

[dsrtsage]

But, if we cant see the Oscars, we wont find out how many tokie awards are given out this year for outstanding melanin in substandard acting

[LoneStarGI]

Only in ‘Lib Lib Land’ would they believe that cancelling the Oscars equals punishment for Trumps EO.

[NonValueAdded]

This keeps getting better and better!

[goodnesswins]

THAT would be more...WINNING! DO IT.
