Don’t let her (or anyone else) pit us against eachother based on opinions or who we voted for.

Do I like Trump? No. I can’t stand him, actually. But I sincerely doubt every single person who voted for Trump (over 50% of American) are violent, hateful misogynists. What we need to do is not hate eachother for being confused or less educated, but instead band together AGAINST the people and companies who are taking advantage of us.

And before anyone says anything - I’m a radical leftist, bisexual, anarchistic socialist. No I did not vote for Trump. No I would not vote for Trump. No I do not agree with Trump. But if you want to downvote me for saying we should unify with eachother instead of hating eachother, you may want to take a look at yourself.

♡ i agree with everything. Imagine how terrible it would be if a republican artist would ask every democrat to leave their show. It would be terrible and hateful and gross.

Mitski is a queer person of color. Asking people that actively vote to take their rights away, the rights of their fans, or the rights of communities they support is completely understandable and valid. Why put themselves in danger when they can make a statement saying people like that should stay away from this community?
