If you look for stuff like this you can find it everywhere. There's a reason people from all over wanted to come here, and that reason still exists. I refuse to give up on what's good about this place just because a bunch of fascists are currently dumbassing all over.
Youāre right, it doesnāt. But itās still true. As of now, we need to be reminded that we need this , not hate filled leadership tearing us apart. And itās not specifically political. Iām a democrat but Iād take any of the last 3 republican presidents over āhimā. Itās a maga infestation issue. All presidents before actually, deep down, were humans and cared about other people. Even if you disagreed with their policies
Kinda feels like we're losing ground on that if we feel the need to mention the movement we're concerned about any time we see something cool happen.
We're reminded that we need this by watching it and enjoying it, not because somebody says "hey, remember MAGA and how much it sucks" after we watch it.
Also, that's absolutely political. Comparing two Republican politicians or movements is still politics. Politics isn't defined by being cross-aisle.
You know the drummer??
Whatās her story?
Iām so impressed by her - sheās obviously a master so I wonder if she was a professional performer in her life.
Took lessons and volunteered with a community band for many years. She would tell you to go out and be a part of your community! I think the video here demonstrates her willingness to be out there for each other. I don't want to tell her life story for her but she's tagged on Instagram in the video
Bruh why you make assumptions. She isn't even a grandma. she's a senior who knows how to play drums and is liberal as hell. This unity shes showing is clearly anti-MAGA. Read the room and understand you may not mess with politics, but politics will mess with you.Ā
She didn't become a loving fun person by being apolitical, in fact it's the exact opposite. She's accepting of all and it turns out it's reciprocatingĀ
The US became political, purposely caused by Paul Weyrich and Jerry Falwell via Moral Majority and Heritage Foundation (late 70s, early 80s). They literally created a marketing campaign to get Christian churches to preach their conservative agenda that forced the idea that Republicans are aligned with God.
Your current beliefs and ours are all colored by that cultural shift. So your belief that this thread should be apolitical is one where US culture has already shifted far to the Right. Then saying we should leave politics out of the general conversation ---> equates to wrapping the fence around the property (US culture) in order to protect the shift to the Right.
Music isnāt right or left. Itās music. Thatās all the discussion is about. Left or right politics does not ALWAYS have to be part of every discussion. That was my point. I donāt know why people are justifying why they need to when they really donāt.
You didn't even know the drummer. if you did you would understand why sitting on the sidelines and not making something political is complete and utter nonsense. Go stand up for something
