| @[C1TZNX:22340] I disagree. I think the song pays homage to both the Clinton and Trump supporters. The left and the right. To say it is only towards Trump voters seems like a forced view. As Trent hated both candidates. | |

It's a comic tragidy how the "anti-Trump" people claim the song is about Trump supporters, when in fact it is about them just as much as it would be about Trump supporters. Ironicly, they don't get it. The songs is about people who are so set in their own worlds, where they try to justify their malicious views. Be it Democrat or Republican, both sides try to "justify the missle trails across the sky." Or literally, the last 4 presidents enjoyed bombing nations regaurdless of the impact on civilians. (Democrat and Republican) "And you can justify it all Your back was up against the wall again" Those who supported Clinton or Trump, two grotesque figures, felt like they had no other choice. Oh but they did. This would work had Clinton won as well. "Shut up, silence Add a little violence And offend and pretend And defend and demand my compliance" A nod to the Leftwing Political Correctness antics. Violent protests, bringing violence into their opposition's rallys, silencing language that is deemed not fit, pretend it is offensive and demand things their way. Also A nod to the Rightwing who would yell OUT OUT OUT and fight with protestors who went into the Trump rallys. Trump, a authoritative figure, demanding his way. "We didn't even notice We awake in a place We can barely recognize, yeah Hypnosis" America has become so devided, a person such as Trump was actually able to take power. We were "Hypnotized" by the media that surley Clinton would win......Surely..... The Bubble of self delusion. "So what are you waiting for? You got what you asked for Did it fix what was wrong with you?" To say this is only about Trump supporters is premature. Since they voted for him, it is then what they asked for. Seems that these verses are instead aimed at the general masses, both left and right, who through their continuous bickering, allowed two unfavorable candidates to grow and grow. Had Clinton won, one could say, you git what you asked for. If we are being genuine, that is. Of course those who HATE Trump and his supporters will gladly look at this song as their own anthem. But in reality, these are people who think everything is simple and black & white. Ignoring the nuances of a brilliant song by Trent, who yes, despises Trump, but is again, understanding of the bigger picture. (Hint hint, he hates Clinton as well). |

| @[bulletproofbrain:22337] You are behaving as one now. Name calling without anything to back it up. Song is about peolle like you, who ignorantly follow the hurd. Because you try to "justify" your hate in any way you can. | |

| @[sokorny:22336] It is so easy to act smart and make observations without any explanations to back them up. Isn't it? If only you could grasp the irony of yiur own comment.... | |
