I had a conversation with someone this morning who wishes "all the gays would go back in the closet,” and I asked why, what are they doing that straight people don't do. Their partner "rescued" them talking and the anti-zionists getting arrested and deported, despite their green cards.🤦
The actual snow flakes.

Man that Bernie has been going wild lately. One rally after another with huge turnouts and raucous applause every time. Follow his Youtube if you want to catch one of these rallies live. The more subs the better!
Here is the song they're so triggered by. It's a fucking masterpiece, and I will be sorely disappointed if it doesn't go viral from hate-publicity:

(Sorry about the direct YouTube link; couldn't find a single working Piped instance. What's the MO these days?)
Couldn't find direct footage of the set either (outside of hate propaganda that I won't click on), but if anyone wants to go looking there are some details here (from her Linktree):

lol well i guess i kind of understand why they are upset, and i don't think it's about gender
It is very much because of gender. If you google 'bernie sanders laura jane grace' you will find nothing but outrage-farming by all the usual culprits. If a cis musician had done this a few bigots might have whined, but the right-wing outrage machine wouldn't have chosen it for their Two Minutes' Hate.
Laura probably knows they're gonna come for her anyway, might as well be aggravating about it. That feels pretty damn punk to me.
P.S. no masters and especially no gods
idk i feel like even if a cis white woman (a man would be normally better [for them], but in this case it's automatically ew gei) were to sing "Does your god have a big fat dick? Cause it feels like he’s fucking me" that would not go down well with especially today's emboldened christian right
Holy shit lmao I was not expecting that. Bernie's a real one for this.
That song goes hard. Hard like, oh I don't know, I'm sure there's a fitting analogy.
But would it fit? Laura asks the real questions.
Do trans people live rent free in their heads
Absolutely, plus their outrage at anyone not like them. I'm visiting family, two of which are Trumpets, and they have been upset enough to comment by...
- Non-white people expressing gratitude to their non-European origin cultures
- Non-white performers chosen by non-white judges on reality television ("they only chose him because they're both black")
- People speaking in a language other than English
- A trans woman in a movie portrayed as a normal person and accepted by their peers without comment
- A woman not adhering to local societal norms (she wasn't wearing makeup in public! Scandal!)
- A movie portraying an overweight woman as attractive to a non-overweight man
- Anyone expressing dismay over the stock market taking a dive, despite no one mentioning Trump
she wasn't wearing makeup in public!
Not Pentecostal I take it.
They're "Jesus is too woke", cross depicting two rifles Christians.
Laura truly is the GOAT.
Everyone go listen to Transgender Dysphoria Blues, it goes so fucking hard
As a cis male, TDB is worth a listen for anybody, shit goes hard
I'll also throw in Black Me Out.
I will blast True Trans Soul Rebel basically whenever I need something loud to listen to!
"yeah we broke our economy to own the libs!"
"on no...a trans person, mommy im scared :'(
What a bunch of snowflakes
literally.
The fuck your feelings crowd have all the feelings
The girl who sang I Was A Teenage Anarchist is pissing off right-wingers? Hell yeah!
It's baffling that in the 21st century the satanic panic is still a thing.
Is it? A lot of the same people are still alive.
Still baffling that they remained impermeable to everything then.
A lot of the same people have been watching Fox News for 40 years.
Explainable. Baffling nonetheless.
What a sad life you must have if this angers you.
Fuck yeah girl! I love to see it
Person existing pisses off...
Bless her.
Aww are the poor wittle (extreme) rightwing snowflakes upsettiwetty? Do they need a clean diaper?
If one singer riles 'em up this bad, how about a whole fucking show? Right-wing heads would be popping like the end of the first Kingsman movie (and the rainbow smoke makes that even more poetic).
Fuck, it could be flat, out-of-tune bagpipes and if it pissed off maga, I'd play it on repeat. There's a reason they don't invite me back to Anaheim anymore...
Against Me! kicks ass
I loved them. Still love them. Two fantastic albums then blech. Her new music is pretty good though.
Keep being awesome Bernie!
Best of both worlds
My dad’s former caretaker mentioned her when I asked about Bernie’s response to the Pres address. Problem is that he’s a Trump supporter. Well guess who’s going on my music recs :3
common laura jane grace w
It appears their god will be mocked after all.
Hell yes. We need her music now more than ever
Make em cry. Snowflakes
