Witnessing MAGAts go after CONSERVATIVE Country Music star Martina McBride is stupefying. [View all]

I can't post some of the stuff I've seen because it's homophobic and clearly would violate DU's rules about Republican talking points, etc.

And I've not heard ANY of the artists who canceled (or Morris Day, who said he never agreed to perform in the first place) actually SAY "Fuck Trump" or "I am canceling because I don't like Trump."

They're saying it was sold to them as a non-partisan event which is clearly partisan. They just want to keep highly charged partisanism OUT OF their music, and I respect that.

I've followed a NUMBER of "Conservative / Republican" artists for decades, like Sammy Hagar and Alice Cooper. That's because they DO NOT go out on stage and say "Trump ROCKS!"

Even Ace Frehley, who...in the last few years of his life, became VOCALLY pro-Trump, did it in a way that stressed "He's the president, and it's on us to support the president." I only agreed with him on the most basic levels of principle. I think we get a "pass" when the president is a rapist, a convicted felon, an insurrectionist, and a con man.

But Frehley didn't "do a Kid Rock." He was asked about Trump in an interview, he responded, I didn't agree with him at all, and I did not stop listening to his solo music or the music he recorded with Kiss.

But the MAGAts...it really is all or nothing, you're 100% in for Dear Leader or you're a "Woke RINO."
