I went to a concert with my dad a few years ago, Aaron Lewis spent almost half the time just soapboxing about liberals. Like, I'm not exaggerating either. 

I wasn't a huge fan of butt rock to begin with, but (didn't know this going in) now he's a wanna be country boy, so it was even worse. It might have been tolerable without the politics 

We don't really need politics at concerts. I don't want the rich people telling me how they think I should feel

Aaron Lewis has become insufferable. I used to love his music. But when he started using his shows to ride Trump's ass & trash liberals, I literally walked out of one of his shows & quit listening to his music.

Yeah, he’s gone WAY past ridiculous at this point.

wait, you're saying making a hit record or an award winning movie doesn't make you an expert on politics or economics or immigration?

maybe we need a list of shit it doesn't make you an expert in, so they can skip doing it.

Music is political. Art is political. Everything is really. It's just up to you if you'll be on the right side or not

All of that ended when people voted for a reality tv star for president. I also wish people would stop using conservative and liberal as if they were political parties.

We are such an unserious country and it’s all thanks to dementia don

Unserious is the perfect word to encapsulate the whole thing. 

I remember the Four Seasons debacle and it felt like an episode of Its Always Sunny. It really did seem like the white house got turned into a parody.

Tbf I think Demented Don did fill a vacuum o’ bigotry that already existed. Trump walks in the footsteps of Strom Thurmond ALSO a predator and segregationist. Trump was already big into the Birther movement, and as the loudmouth he was the de facto leader for their segregation wishes.

Maybe we ought to be glad it was a bumbling moron…because if it were someone capable we might already be further down the P2025 path. Still a “dumb crook” can kill you just as effectively as a smart one… you still end up at war, even if it is delayed by a year due to dementia antics.

You’re 100% correct although I think they picked a moron because so much of his base is just like him, stupid.

It worked magically because they convinced his base that educated politicians were the enemy.

We have a WWE ceo / sex trafficker running the department of education 😂

Not when we had a movie star? Reagan?

People didn’t learn their lesson from that shit show 😂 but at least we balanced back out with serious and qualified people. Though Reagan was still better than Trump lol
