Sigh… I miss the days when Rage Against The Machine focused on music and wasn’t political.
Tap for spoiler
I 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.

The band was founded in 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.
What machine do these people think they are raging against? A dishwasher?

100% agreement here.
Tom Morello isn’t qualified to speak about politics.
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.
Saw him play recently in Alabama. They were selling this phrase on a shirt. Much to my surprise, that shirt was sold out by the time I went to pick it up. I was pleasantly shocked.
Reading that makes me very happy! I try tell people this whenever I can: there’s hope everywhere in America, no matter how red a state is now it can become blue one day. I was a Trump supporter myself and changed, other people can too! Think about all the people in Alabama who bought that shirt. If they banded together they could change Alabama for the better. Things won’t be instant but perhaps they get a better mayor elected, then a better state representative then send someone better to the House, then one day a better Senator. If we try and work together it can happen!
That’s how bands make most of their money in the streaming era and with ticketmaster raking in a big chunk of the ticket sales despite not providing much.
