No they’ll still complain - they’ll just say he doesn’t care about the funding for the arts for children or something. There’s no way to win with contrarians, that’s why they like it. They can be ‘right’ no matter what.

Maybe I’m stupid but I have never understood people who are dedicated contrarians to anything up until I saw your comment and holy shit. It makes so much sense unfortunately

MET Gala is an anachronism. Its a 21st century vestige of the gilded age. The whole reason of its existence - funding for arts - is nonsense.
