   True, portait painters were replaced by portrait photographers and wedding photographers, etc. Perhaps it’s the realism of photography that leads painters to surrealism and distortions.

   It’s the “bipartisanship” dance. To make people think it’s somehow good when they spend their money because it’s “bipartisan”.

   They’d just be replaced by parties with different names but the same actions.

   It still can be. People do commission art and buy it but you have to be good at it and satisfy the audience. The problem is that sometime in the 19th century the idea that art had to be obscure or some special kind of spiritual activity caused artists to disassociate themselves from the audience. They made it into a hobby rather than a profession. They essentially adopted Al’s attitude as their life motto.

   “went to add you to my list of ‘ignorant and combative posters’ "

   OMG! I am having trouble getting up from the floor. This is just too funny. The ignorant and combative poster has a list of “ignorant and combative posters”. I wonder if he is on the list.

   “Claiming ‘free speech is violated’ because someone disagrees with one is strictly a right-wing thing.”

   I think you will find that the right claims “free speech is violated” when someone tries to shut down their speech not when we disagree. In most cases the attempt to shutdown speech comes when the right says something with which the left disagrees.

   The right uses the term more often than the left because it’s the left that attempts to shut down speech rights.

   “When I see someone denigrate ‘woke’ in order to justify their own views”

   I denigrate “woke” because it covers a lot of bad ideas.

   Don’t you find it strange that there are some on the left who think that the term “woke” was made up by the right to denigrate leftist ideas, and others who defend it to the extreme. It makes me smile and chuckle.

   “Ever hear of humor?”

   I enjoy and use it all the time! I’m a bit curious though. What did I say that makes you think I haven’t?

    “We’ve all seen the sleaze that is the leader of the MAGA cultists. Quit trying to sanitize an ideology that has him as their icon.”

    And there we go again! Bringing out the insults when you can’t defend the position.
