    It’s like Paul Ryan (Republican politician) being a Rage Against the Machine fan. Even the band members were like dude, you don’t get it.

      I remember really liking their music on the radio when I was like 12-14, and I knew my conservative parents wouldn’t buy my that record. With Rage Against The Machine on the front and songs about cops being kkk, and homeless people hanging out with the ghosts of guys who died for the working class, and saying “wake up” but not like in a ‘‘you gotta get ready for school’’ type of way. No sir. They wouldn’t be down. You don’t have to know much to understand they weren’t talking about the washing machine.
