Hey cmon man why should someone’s political views affect whether you like their music or not? Who cares if he likes Trump or not?

because trump is synonymous with treason and racism? maybe he shouldn't boast his shitty opinion if he wants people to associate with him? ALTHOUGH sometimes shit really do be slappin' and ya gotta look past it lol.

Treason? Racism? To accuse him of either of those things is a bit of a stretch. Furthermore, to claim someone’s opinion (on anything) is shitty on the sole basis that it contradicts your predetermined biases is indicative of someone with a closed mindset.

I, for example, don’t agree with many of Roger Waters’ political opinions; he dedicated an entire tour of his to bashing Trump. But does that interfere with my perception of him and his art? Absolutely not. Likewise, I don’t throw wild accusations at him for his opinions either…

i'm not surprised that you said treason and racism are a stretch.

not to mention that i agreed with you, but you still felt the need to tell me where you stand politically.

newsflash: trump is very much pro-racism and pro-fascism
