Can we talk about how awful Eminem fans are? Especially the yt boys? Like they give school shooter vibes and absolutely rage if you question their place in a community they have no business being a part of. Hiphop is a black and Afro Latino art form and I cannot with Eminem using it mainly to denigrate women. I can’t stand him or his fans

Wish I could send a cease-and-desist to some people for existing

By some people I mean Republicans

[wonheaux]

Personally, I'd like for them to cease breathing. 😊

A cease-to-exist, you could say.

there are plenty of loud republican musicians that conservatives can use yet they constantly use music from left leaning artists. when even your own don't wanna play aldean or kid rock 🤭

Republicans somehow missed the memo that left leaning protest songs are about them.
Reagan’s use of Born in the USA.
Paul Ryan’s love for Rage Against the Machine (but gets mad when they get too political)
45’s use of We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister, Fortunate Son by CCR, and I’m sure many others.
