  • In his social media post, Sheeran said he “spoke with the venues at length all week to try to build a bridge,” but that “the venue’s and promoter’s decision was final.”

    He wrote that he tries to use his music to “bring people from all backgrounds and cultures together” and that while he has personal views about “this devastating conflict,” he chooses not to speak publicly because people who come to his shows “do not expect a political forum.” He added: “I am not complicit.”

    I am not complicit my ass. If you have a platform and decide to stay quiet when you have a clear chance to send a message, then fuck you .



  • I always find this stuff funny, but it sucks that so many people hear it and take it seriously. The idea of anyone that doesn’t vote Republican just hating America because of our abundance, progress, or freedom is just ridiculous. But I suppose he can’t go out there telling the truth or he’d lose his audience.

    It’s like those graphics you see on Fox News about the “radical left” ideas like free healthcare and affordable housing.




  • One of my friends is a mechanic and also a life-long Republican. He posts to Facebook several times a day, so the last few months have given me a fascinating view into his thoughts.

    At the beginning of the war, he laughed because he had a customer ask if they should stock up on motor oil to avoid price increases. His post was really dismissive - calling the customer a nut job for being concerned about the price of oil.

    A few weeks later, he made a post asking other mechanics for advice. He’d noticed that oil prices shot up, but he was still sitting on some oil he’d purchased previously. He asked if he should keep his oil change prices low, or if he should raise his prices to prepare for when he had to buy oil next.

    His recent posts have been about leaving MAGA. So maybe there is some hope for him yet? However, he still doesn’t seem to be leaving the Republican party. Just maybe realizing the Trump is not his lord and savior. I suspect in a couple more years, there will be no one left that claims to have lived Trump. Kind of like how Republicans now denounce George Dubya, even though they were all in at the time.
