Green Day posted this picture on their Facebook page:
Which, given their history of political opinions, makes sense.
But the comments are fucking wild, man. Like, did these commentators even listen to any of Green Day’s work?
Buddy, you used Green Day as an escape from politics? I don’t think you understand how that works.
Yes, yes, Green Day should stay out of politics. They’ve really been known for the quietness on political events (*sarcasm*).
What are Green Day’s music or public statements makes you think they are willing to sit by and let an authoritarian demagogue rise without protesting that? He hasn’t said “mean things,” he’s a fucking dictator-in-waiting.
