Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years.
That's a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.
Green Day also didn't encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the "patriot" MAGA idiots.
It's a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.
Reminds me of Tom Morello's response to Paul Ryan claiming his favorite band was RATM.
I wonder what Ryan’s favorite Rage song is? Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of “Fuck the Police”? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production? So many excellent choices to jam out to at Young Republican meetings!
Its funny, reading this post outloud to a friend and his reaction was "if Green Day doesn't support Trump's campaign then I don't anymore."
He was serious too.
Sometimes the dumbest things can change someones mind.
Also "punk" is an excellent way to not swear! Because punk is also about punkin CHRISTIAN VALUES, you stupid motherpunkin' punks!
MxPx plays on a huge PA in the high school auditorium as he raises his arms over his head, fists clenched, salmon polo shirt collar rippling around his neck in the thick spring breeze somehow, even though it's indoors
Jesus was the first punk, you punks!
crowd noise surges to almost painful levels, he walks off stage holding a large burning cross above his head given to him by an assistant. The crowd pulsates closer to him as he walks away, and he sticks out his tongue and gives people the finger... the ring finger.
Frick off, you punkers! WTF!! What True Followers! LOL! Loving Our Lord! Thank you, good night!
crowd noise recedes as they all begin clapping and praying in the distance. Cut to a car, him, driver's seat, driving and Hawk Nelson playing in the car
Punkin' nailed it! Like our father to the cross! I'm so gay for that hot-abbed Jesus! Toga! Toga! Toga! I bet he had a great ding-donger on him. What a beseeching and beautiful man our savior was...
"No no no, he clarified that those who die are justified by wearing the badge... and that they were the chosen white, obviously he supports Qualified Immunity. No I've never heard of Sarcasm, is that a peasant thing?" - Republicans Unironically
I am officially boycotting Green Day after they insulted the MAGA agenda on NYE. Punk rock should NOT be political. Punk rock is about and has ALWAYS been about the following:
-maintaining traditional family values.
-upholding the patriarchy.
-respecting authority figures.
-saluting the flag, standing for the national anthem, and unconditionally supporting the military.
I wholeheartedly support BJA and Green Day for the message of what they did, but holy shit I can't stand to listen to their music. I hate that I have to now make a whole "I swear I'm not MAGA" preface to my inability to tolerate them.
This is shadowboxing someone who doesn't exist. I know this is parody, but the ironic twist of saying Green Day was never or shouldn't be political...nobody was saying that.
Obviously people who like the thing they were protesting against will say something to the effect of "F this band who disagrees with me politically" or even "they shouldn't have been political in a NYE performance" but that is disagreeing with the content or timing of the message. There's nothing to parody there.
