@cut4bennyblanco @canthandlthatru @leahetc_ As someone in the scene who knows the band i can verify that is Not true!! This is personal beef she has & i'm guessing it's intentionally vague so rumors like this can fly.

@canthandlthatru @leahetc_ She said it was on behalf of someone else and she’s keeping it pretty vague + local band so im guessing it’s like 99% of other local bands and they have some serious accusation like sexual assault or dating a high schooler

@katebuskirk1 And the media does not really focus on this because your average American is not well-versed in such a complex and theoretical political concept

@decaffeinatd Tale as old as time tbf ..,the immigration chitter chatter in recent yrs is so tied to this fear of industry death Even tho immigration basically acts as the coals of our economic flame and facilitates so much privilege in labor mkt for Us born citizens

@katebuskirk1 Which is a big reason Trump polls well with latino populations (typically anti-left establishment, religious, homophobic, work blue collar jobs) and to some degree with black populations

@decaffeinatd Yes and the whole campaign platform of "bringing manufacturing back from china " etc

@katebuskirk1 Simply because they compromise with the left by allowing for these policies to protect/aid the working class and the people they represent, which is mostly socially conservative people who strongly identify with American culture (blue collar jobs created by the latter two)

@decaffeinatd Mm real shit the whole Coastal Elite idea .. That one time obama was trying to appeal to working class and was like "Ughh guys the price of arugula at Whole Foods is so high"

@katebuskirk1 Despite occupy being a leftist movement overall, I wouldn't be surprised if 20-40% of people who supported it were now trump supporters. It's part of broader ideological shift occurring in the west wherein the left who's had power since the mid 00s has become the "establishment"
