Imagine we can find some non leftist artists and performers that would be happy to perform, and people other than the black tie leftist would love to attend
Good luck and good luck finding enough Trump supporters in DC to pay for tickets.
Sometimes reality just has to be accepted and maneuvered around I’m order make things work to one’s advantage. The sledge hammer approach doesn’t always work and in this case was an unforced error.

It’s not imaginable in DC. It’s saturated with leftists, both limousine and Subaru.
I’ve seen Chuck Redd perform several times, once with his own band and a few times in other jazz bands. I don’t know what his politics are, but I do know a couple people that play with him occasionally are not liberals. His type of jazz gets played in small venues and I doubt he can afford to lose many fans. So being a DC performer Redd faced two bad choices. Cancel the performance and possibly face consequences or play it and have his mostly leftard DC following boycott him. My guess is that he thought the first was the least likely, but the second would be inevitable.
