irrevelantfalconsfan 244 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 So apparently, Trump-loving people on the app TikTok are using American Idiot as a pro-Trump agenda. Remember when Billie Joe changed the lyrics form, "... don't wanna be part of no redneck agenda" to "... don't wanna be part of no MAGA agenda". Not a pro- Trump song, folks.

Statick 13,285 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 No surprise here. They also misappropriated the Marxist term "useful idiot" and totally f'ked up the meaning of the novel '1984' by them whining over it being only about free speech being attacked while never ever mentioning the 'groupthink' they so ironically fell prey to. Well, what'd we expect from a bunch of people who, like their now defunct orange savior, can't read, refuse to understand anything and who constantly make **** up to make themselves feel smarter than they actually are. irrevelantfalconsfan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite part of the Trump rally in spring 2016 was when they played Neil Young’s “Rocking in the Free World”. I was there ironically and they played an ironic song so I loved it. But the folks there authentically had no idea that the song was ironic so they loved it too. But I knew they were ******* morons so that it it more fun for me. Then the ******* morons got the son of a ***** elected and it was no fun at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've said this before, I've got to hand it to Donald: he ran the biggest con in the history of America and got the most gullible and the weakest-minded people to fall for it at one time. And the GOP were complicit to their detriment. irrevelantfalconsfan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s like a scene out of all the Vietnam War movies, and maybe he sees that scene in his head, even if it’s completely cuckoo,“ Fogerty, 75, told The Times on the Friday afternoon before election day.
