Ignoreland Lyrics

I'm surprised. This is NOT an anti-republican song. "the undermining social democratic slide into abysmal..." is a clear reference to trotskyist ideology (many trotskyists/ex trotskyists supported reagan in the neoconservative movement).

This song is about neoconservatism taking a hold of the USA. "1992 too" shows that they also regard clinton as a neoconservative, perhaps accurately.
