"Hahaha, you're all gonna die, and you voted for that guy!" - Circle Jerks
Hello, this is c/politicalmemes.
Where nobody listens to 80s punk music.
No, plenty people here know the Circle Jerks. It's the way you used the line from that song that's the problem.
If you don't understand how a line laughing about people dying applied to the reality of this situation is offensive, I really can't help you.
I'll jump in here and point out that the militarism decried in the song is one of the less-applicable criticisms of Trump. If anything the criticism is that he's too willing to take Putin's side, not that he'd lead us to nuclear war. At least not intentionally.
If you want a more Trump-appropriate 80s punk song to select lyrics from I might suggest "Kill the poor" by the Dead Kennedys (referring to the apocryphal notion of using neutron bombs to eliminate the poors without harming property values). Although honestly if you wanna get some proper hot takes on maga you'll do best dispensing with the 80s entirely and going with NOFX.
