Aside from the simple fact that fascists hate all art (and everything and everyone, really) that doesn't hew to their narrow prejudices, I expect that a lot of the problem is that, as opposed to his cronies in the prison industry or the private school industry, none of the recipients of art funding pay him kickbacks.

There's very little money in art, except for money laundering, and most art is political in some way

fascists hate all art

Bullshit. They absolutely love propaganda and co-opting existing symbology to unite their supporters and exclude the out groups they use to fan the flames of hatred.

They do hate all art that doesn't support their mission though.

fascists hate all art [...] that doesn't hew to their narrow prejudices

Um... yes. That's pretty much what I actually said.

Did the parenthetical bit confuse you?

It seemed to be about things, other than art (and broke up the sentence) in a way that the part after the parenthesis, seemed to be talking about something, other than art.

This is a reply with a similar confusing sentence structure.
