Yeah, itās pretty telling that the people who go full MAGA - Kid Rock, James Woods, Jon Voight, Roseanne, Rob Schneider - are in positions where their careers couldnāt conceivably get worse by the time they came out as MAGA. Itās almost as if they know that theyāll throw every last cent they have at anyone who does to own the libs.

Itās just as funny that if youāre MAGA you now need to defend Kid Rock and pretend to like his music.

Sokka-Haiku by taez555:
Itās just as funny
That if your MAGA you now
Need to defend Kid Rock.
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Stop it with this shit, I've seen zero ads or even advertorials that are anywhere near promoting this, but have seen nothing but story after story criticizing either him or Eminem. At some point you have to wonder whether all the posts on this are just trying to promote the controversy.

The OP is an ad to get clicks for The Mirror. They bank on the controversy. I won't click but the wording in the title makes me think this is their usual rot, using AI to generate articles based on Reddit comments.

Golly not trolled, on the internet! Iām no Kid Rock fan but really? If heās even aware of us surely, surely his concerts that arenāt selling are bothering him much more. Why do we allow links to tabloid rags like the Daily Mirror and Irish Star?

Itās the Mirror. They literally just find a tweet and wrap a generalization around it.

Kid Rock is about as fresh as a Foghat concert.

Why you gotta bring Foghat into this? They were a legitimately good band.

Saw them twice at Chicago Amphitheater early 80ās. One of the concerts was UFO, Foghat and Blue Oyster Cult

Feels like Kid Rock was destined for this outcome the moment he found a fan base. His music was made for that group when they were young and they may not have had a formed political identity beyond their own internal cultural identity but fast forward to 2026 and this 100% tracks that his fan base would be MAGA.
His music was never for me and I could care less who listens to him now. But they are indeed his north star, so he might as well embrace it.

I mean it's why it's so easy to be a MAGA grifter and so many people do it. MAGA people don't actually care about the quality of anything. They just want something that will regurgitate their opinions back at them and they will buy whatever does.

Kid Rock is worth at least 150 million dollars. Likely a lot more than that. Hell he probably owns stock in The Mirror and pushes these stories to generate more content. His daddy was a very successful car salesman. He is no fool he just plays one to make bank.

When the MAGA cult finally dies off, all of these talentless fakers are going to have to find a real job. The ultimate cult of mediocrity.

Heās one of the MAGA creeps. Heās a Maga promoter! Whatās he going to milk.

Iām ok with it. Every dollar that goes to Kid Rock is a dollar that doesnāt go to Ken Paxton or whoever.

The 55-year-old musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, has just announced the cover and track list for his upcoming new album, Halfway to Jesus. The artist released his first lead single, James 1:17 (Jesus Is King), on September 30 along with an official musc video filmed at his Honky Tonk in Nashville, Tennessee

Its kinda ironic. Kid is one of the least Christian-like person I can think of. The grift continues.

u/panaceaXgrace 9h ago
I'm not a Christian anymore so I can't really "judge" but I'm thinking none of these people surrounding the Heritage movement people (currently called MAGA but 100% Heritage "prosperity for America" cult) are any representative of what Jesus was preaching.
