    It does seem that more than a few of this kind of people are quite tonedef. One example is a lot of them liking Rage Against the Machine but objecting when Tom Morello makes a political statement, as if their entire song catalog wasn’t political and literally raging against everything those conservatives and/or fascists hold dear.

      All they hear in Killing In The Name is “wearing the badge, they’re the chosen white” and then they call it a day.

        That one video of Trump supporters singing it was emphasizing the “and you do what they told ya”. It plays into their belief that trans people are only supported because the mainstream media told you to. This is the start and end of their thoughts on the song.

      And also objecting to Tom Morello making a political statement as if he wasn’t an honors graduate in Political Science from Harvard University.

        I loved it when Paul Ryan said he was a fan of RATM and Tom Morello said that Paul Ryan is the machine they’re raging against.
