The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.

the worst part isn't even how paralyzingly stupid they are, it's that they're proud of that fact

Fucking Paul Ryan cited RATM as his favorite band. These are not smart people.

Not self-aware enough to understand they're the machine the songs rage against.

Well, dumbass fucks also need representation. Too bad it's like ~50% of the US.

Have they actually used it or did Rage just say "don't use our shit"?

I don't know about the campaign itself, but his minions are fond of "Killing in the name of" being played in support of blue lives matter of all things and to convey their "Fuck your feelings" mantra.

I mean, "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" is probably a good thing from their point of view...

I am amazed they don't use Bulls on Parade....

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Lol this is fucking hilarious. This is on the level of the popo wearing punisher logos...just complete idiots

And the orange man's campaign to RATM when told not to play their music: fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.
