Sigh... I miss the days when Rage Against The Machine focused on music and wasn't political.

Tap for spoilerI feel obligated to say this is sarcasm, just because of the way things are. (There are actually some people who said this to Tom on Xitter lmao.)

I know right! The band didn't start getting political until 1991.

spoilerThe band was founded in 1991.

Now that I think of it the whole 90s didn't start getting political until around 1991.

Stupid conservatives think, "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me," is speaking to them. Your spoiler / deflection is absolutely necessary. There are a lot of people who don't understand what they take in.

It's entirely possible HP printers acted like a gateway to first experiencing true rage, that later led people into the maga cult.

It’s not like he graduated from Harvard University with honours as a Political Science major.

He’s just some pop artist who Paul Ryan loves.
