Guys, please stop calling Trump a far-right authoritarian
Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to immediately resign & says, "please inform our great Speaker, James Michael Johnson that the Democrat Party has conceded her seat ... she will not be allowed to me a member of that body any longer" Trump's crowd in Iowa then starts chanting "Lock her up! Lock her up!"

Ed Sheeran could never. This is why Damon and Gorillaz are the goat because they’ve never been afraid of talking about the state of the world in their music. Like, Dirty Harry is blatant a critique of unnecessary wars as you can get and continues to be timely to this day
Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn waves a Palestinian flag on stage while urging fans to speak out for Gaza: “Don’t forget this—ever. Stand your position. Don’t ever be neutral.”
