Born in the USA is about how America is awesome, and good to everyone who grew up there.
Fortunate Son is about how war is great, and the rich kids who got out of the draft had more important things to do.
Rage Against the Machine was angry about wokeness and Medicaid spending. Just ask Paul Ryan.

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

For example, we don't want a perpetual cycle of purge and counter-purge in the civil service every time there's a new administration. But those protections can't be reestablished and strengthened until there is a purge of all the corrupt Trumpists and criminals now in place. They have to go first.
