If you thought the collusion between entertainment industry and the Democrat Party was bad in the past, just wait until you see what they have in store for 2020. The Democrats don’t even have a nominee yet but already a series of anti-Trump concert rallies has been announced to “harness the power of music to help elect the 46th President of the United States.”
According to Billboard,
a pair of music industry veterans turned activists are announcing a new initiative titled 46 for 46, described as a "strategically planned series of 46 unique concerts in 46 different cities in the states that matter most during the lead up to the 2020 election." The goal: to help launch the Democratic presidential nominee into the White House using the inspirational power of music.
So far, the list of acts is unimpressive. Between Nathaniel Rateliff in Colorado, Dashboard Confessional in Florida, Lissie in Iowa, Patty Griffin in Maine, Sylvan Esso in North Carolina, and Bon Iver in Wisconsin, I’ve only heard of one of the artists. But with the level of Trump hatred exhibited by celebrities, I can guarantee that bigger music stars will sign on to defeat Trump, whether it’s through 46 for 46 or something else.
Frenette wants to "bridg[e] the gap between music, activism and politics," but I don’t see much of a gap anymore. People are sick and tired of politics taking over every aspect of their lives and now they want to literally make attending a concert a political act.

COLLUSION!! THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE!
They dominate the entertainment industry so we have to cede this ground.
We need to fight elsewhere. How about 46 actions to trim voter rolls to only those that are active and vaild? In the states that are important. Over and over because each time they’ll find some superfluous registrants.
Those concerts will do NOTHING.
I guess they will entertain some people.
But musicians have ALWAYS overestimated their importance.
I played drums at 10 and guitar at 11 and I am conservative.
Though back then I was a very wild conservative :)
I knew some great conservative song writers. The lie about the right being stodgy and unimaginative and not fun is just that.
A HUGE LIE.
They can have their anti-Trump concerts, but I hope and expect nobody will show up.

Won’t they be pissed when it is Trump!
The list of ‘entertainers ‘ is nearly as unimpressive as the gaggle of contestants for the dem game of who has the tater/nominee wanna bees.
President Trump should have rallies in same cities at same time and compare turnout.
so we’ve google manipulating people, musicians, and hollywood and msm- ALL of them liberal- all of them out ot ‘fundamentally change
America’
and trump still won lol
Never heard of any of them, they pretty much killed any chance that we will.
Ticking off 50% of the population is not a good marketing strategy.
Oh for the good old days, when musicians were all about music.
Yes, every concert-goer is looking forward to hearing nonstop “F#%K TRUMP!!” screamed a couple dozen times from the stage. These people are known for their deep insights into politics, liberty and freedom.
and, if that does not work, giant paper mache puppets
Big list of nobodys.
Meanwhile, the most famous musicians/celebs turned out for Hillary-Dumpty. Lot of good it did her.
I’m a musician and post a lot on a musician site. You are right. Conservative musicians are rare. I suppose leftism comes with the territory. But a lot of them DO grow up. It’s just a small percentage.
I post here a lot as robroy: https://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/forum/Off-Topic/OT_The_Political_Party
“President Trump should have rallies in same cities at same time and compare turnout.”
Great idea.
On Animal Farm it was considered important for morale to have the sheep bleat the latest song:
“Four legs good, two legs bad...”
And later, when convenient, because the pigs were adopting human customs, including walking on their hind legs ...
“Four legs good, two legs better...”
And selling $40 t-shirts.
Of course scads of people will show up. A nifty bit of psy-ops would be to spread the word that ICE agents are buying up loads of tickets for all these events. That should keep the crowds down a bit.
