Scold me closer, whiny dancers.
Our apologies to Elton John, but it’s hard to take dancing as a serious form of protest, especially when it’s directed at President Donald Trump. He loves to dance! A little over 30 kinetic Karens decided to dance in a straight line to protest our ‘crooked’ Commander-in-Chief. His crime? Trying to save the Kennedy Center.
Here’s more. (WATCH)

😂😂 the only solution is a dance off at the Lincoln Memorial.

This might be the most cliche liberal thing I’ve ever seen.

Cliché, cringe, or both? 🤣🤣

Okay, MAGA... that's it. They're too powerful. It's over. Let's go home. 😔
— Heather Hopkins (@heddyhop) February 19, 2025
Yep, time to vacate D.C., MAGA. Our pounce is no match for their prance!
NPR decided to cover the event put on by their fellow Democrats. Check out this pretentious nonsense. (READ)
In the piece, dancers walk in a single-file line and make synchronized movements.
"It felt symbolic in that we're moving in unison," says dancer and educator Kelly King who organized the protest, "And there's something just compelling to see a straight line of movers dancing this way in a march."

That's strange; I thought it could be a group of people with restless arm syndrome. 🤦🏼♂️

There is no defense against interpretive dance.

Especially the straight-line variety! How do we counter such creativity?
There’s a ‘CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS!’ happening at the Kennedy Center. Won’t someone think of the dancers?! (WATCH)
Anti-Trump interpretive dance protest leader:

Trump's election to Kennedy Center chair is "an assault...an assault on our constitutional right, our first amendment right".
Just by being elected chair, DT is "an assault" on 1A?🤔 https://t.co/1u46rsThSX pic.twitter.com/um3XYsrAxP
The Kennedy Center is broke. The board ditched. Trump is not the problem.

Commenters are going to break in with some closing reactions.
Why would anyone be surprised these folks can’t get through life without help from the government?

Having seen this incredible performance, there’s no need to ever buy tickets to see anything at the Kennedy Center. Nothing can top this.

I've now finally learned the error of my ways. I'll never again vote for Donald Trump for president.

Thanks, interpretive dancers. You're the real heroes.
Oh no!

They left their cats home alone!🙄
And their parents told them that a masters degree in transgender medieval dance wasn't worth $200K in student loans.

Well, whose laughing now!?
Fine, I'll be the one to ask -- who is taking care of their trans kids while they're out here dancing?

We’re only four weeks in, folks. Trump’s lost the interpretive dance community.
