Why haven’t we seen an explosion of anti-Trump music in the past two months given how hated Trump is as president and how pop stars are given loads of credit for being socially conscious? Not even Kendrick seems to be making anti-Trump stuff despite being liberals’ favourite.

Political music is only good if it has an edge. Making an anti Trump protest song is one of the most boring and predictable things you could do
Billie Eilish
Who the fuck wants to hear her make political music when she can barely string a coherent thought together in interviews?
Liberals are the ultimate poseurs. They ARE the establishment, exactly what conservatives were 20 years ago.
Only make political music if you’re attacking capitalism and American imperialism. No one wants to hear you sing about how much you love Ukraine.
Isn’t Chappell Roan liberal music?
Sort of. It’s not like she’s writing protest songs like Woodie Guthrie or Joan Baez.
the only genres allowed to be political were rock and folk music and both are dead. Rap is for sell out lumpenprole niggurs, pop is too calculated to take a risk, and country just fucking sucks and is about drinking beer and pick up trucks.
during bush you had year zero, hail to the thief, american idiot, the list goes on!
all rock albums
Billie Eilish makes rock music though?
libs are spread thin on what to protest and they're finding it hard to maintain their own claimed status in the victim heirarchy.
it is becoming to complicated to sustain and people just want something easy to say to signal they are "on the right side of history."
tldr libs are gay and dumb and demoralized
lol no she doesnt, its shitty whisper pop
because the DNC ran out of money. in fact last i heard they were a million dollars in debt and ebegging people to give them money.
Kamala’s campaign spent over $1 billion to make her POTUS and they failed hard.
How about instead we demand music that speaks to actual working-class grievances? Not “I hate Trump and love sucking Zelenskyy’s cock.”
pretty much this.
the DNC has shifted so far to the center/right overtime that they really have no ground to stand on in regards to criticizing drumpf anymore, at least in a way that feels meaningful or inspires left leaning americans, with the exception of bernie/cortez. how could any young college educated leftist not feel utter disgust towards the modern democratic party when we are bombarded with daily evidence of what our supposed 'greatest ally' is doing to women and children overseas with our weapons, and our money? the DNC through superpacs has become completely morally bankrupt, a party not for the people but for the corporation. two sides of the same coin ultimately, american politics.
this. the #1 engine for liberal creative output (campaign money) is down in the dirt and so is the music
Bernie and AOC are part of the establishment too, buddy.
expecting millionaire pop stars to share the same views as Marxists
What race is that?
yes of course they are but how do you bring about change without playing the game? what other mainstream politicians right now in the US are advocating for campaign finance reform besides them? the root of every problem in the DNC and RNC stems from giant corporations that have bought our democratic institutions. every problem in america stems from this in one way or another.
what is your solution? indifference?
Half pajeet and half white
I don't like corporations, but I also don't want to hand over power to faggots like you who think that it is evil to have to work to feed yourself or that a man can become a woman if they just feel it really hard.
that has nothing to do with anything i said
It's only been two months. Give it a year or so. It takes time to craft perfection.
Corporations can’t be separated from capitalism.
Blaming “corporations” is simply pointing to the symptom, not the disease.
Billie actually did release two Joan Baez-type songs a few years ago that didn’t do much.

Dunno. Pop stars trying to go political comes off as corny and disingenuous.
Trump hasn’t done anything Biden didn’t do. Nothing uniquely evil about Trump that would call for protest music.
Biden didn't make imperialist threats to Canada and Greenland.
Trump is massively popular, and the most popular politician in your lifetime. Likely to keep that spot too. If you think he's unpopular, you're in a bubble.

He did, however, commit a full-blown genocide in Gaza.
They need a true dictator to get inspiration. A little struggle, like getting exiled could help
Trump will be gone forever in four years. The Democrats will sweep in 2028 and every shitty thing Trump is doing now will be undone.
The Democrats will sweep in 2028
Both parties are on life support. If AOC ran in 2028 she’d kick everyone’s ass.
imperialist threats
God. The Day of the Rake can't come fast enough.
Trump is the only President in history to never reach a 50% approval rating bro
wanting white women to make political music when over half of them voted for Trump
Older white women voted for Trump. Not gen z.
He's certainly not popular where I'm at
Her next song will be sung in Ukrainian, just wait.
yidd
LA CREATURA
Because Trump lovers won't listen and Trump haters don't need more reminders they're losing. So instead of alienating half the audience, you actually alienate your entire audience.
youtu.be
there's this song
What do you mean? Liberals love virtue signalling and frivolous jabs at Trump.
