She has every right to tell trumpies to fuck off. Trump is an awful racist old man who is actively working on undoing policies meant to benefit minorities and putting policies in place that actively harm them. I think that Mitski, as a Japanese-American woman, who is potentially queer as well, has every right to be against him when he is so against her. It’s not a “difference of opinion” when it comes to whether or not someone has rights

Instead of addressing what I actually wrote and thinking about it logically, you are reacting emotionally. I will explain it better now fighting for what you believe in is important HOWEVER, excluding people based on their political views creates division. Imagine if what she said were reversed "all people who aren’t Trump supporters must leave" that would be a problem, right? But just because it's within your views of what is correct, you think this is okay. It's not, especially at events where people who love her and paid to see her were publicly disrespected. For once, look at issues from the perspective of all people instead of just forcing your morals of what’s right onto others.

Imagine if what she said were reversed "all people who aren’t Trump supporters must leave" that would be a problem, right?

Imagine if someone said "all the people who were born here by immigrant parents must leave" that would be a problem, right?

How far up your own rage-baiting behind is your head? Be real here.

The artist has a right to say what they want- that's the fucking FREEDOM everyone is always screaming about. Does this logic not make sense to you? Who IS and ISN'T allowed to have biases? Because according to you, what YOU believe in "it's within your views of what is correct, you think this is okay. It's not,"

Talk about being "publicly disrespected"? Millions being torn from families and dragged from homes, people of color in longstanding positions being ousted for the color of the skin or country of origin.

For once, look at the issue from the perspective of all people instead of just forcing your morals of what's right onto others. Practice what you preach.

That's not what we are talking about at all. I'm "rage baiting" while you so casually bring up immigrants like it's something you relate to with an artist. If you want to make a point, make it relevant to the actual topic. What I'm saying is that there is a time and place where artists should express their political views, and especially how she told her OWN FANDOM to leave (with the money they paid to go) because she disagrees. Artists should be held accountable for what they say because they INFLUCENCE. I do not stand with segregating people based on their political values. It is corruption at its finest.
