this guy did the most basic vanilla criticism of the gestapo and our pathetic press/culture acts like he took a dump on stage

then of course he can't stand behind any sort of principles and has to backtrack, insisting he didn't want to "get political," while ambiguously deriding "divisiveness"

Zach Bryan responds to backlash over song 'Bad News' amid claims it is anti-ICE

The country star said the song is about his love for the country, and anyone who uses it "as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are."

Eliminate the market for farm products by eliminating USAID and terrorizing and deporting the workforce. Killing manufacturing by tariffs. Forcing small rural hospitals to close with cuts to Medicaid. Forming a small army of masked thugs able to imprison people without probable cause.

Why?

Democratic Party turboloyalists are often some of the most toxic people I've ever encountered. Whereas the Right are generally honest about all the vile things they think and believe, this group of centrists adds the additional insult of pretending to have some sort of morality and knowledge. Vile.

There are two demographics that have to regularly justify our right to exist, Indigenous people and trans people. Being part of both groups is exhausting.

Y'all have no idea the levels of bigotry people like me have to deal with.
