When you go MAGA, you gain a lot of crazy fans.

crazy fans.

lol crazy is definitely accurate, but they're fans who also say "when did rage against the machine go woke?!?"

Were there a time when their music wasn't politically engaged?

I know one die hard RATM fan that works for a huge insurance company.

Funny thing when considering they had the same ideas way before woke even existed. More like woke went ratm.

I used to be a fan of kid Rock....

It was the early 2000's.

I'm still down with a lot of music from that time, I'll still rock Smash mouth, I sympathize with what happened to their lead singer, but kid Rock is entirely self inflicted and instead of the world moving on from him (like smash mouth) they have him on a pedestal. Why should anyone from my generation be on a political tour because of music they made? It pretty much all sucked. They didn't write any of it themselves... Barely any of them even performed it live. I respect Nickelback "Rockstar" for calling this out.
