     @persagen It still looks and sounds gay, and you can't change that.

     Sounds like he's throwing his band mates under the bus.

     It is. It'll be weird if the song becomes an anthem for fascists.

     It's ironic that the band member that supports Trump is the one dressed as a cop.

     @persagen well damn, they better sue the Private Christian school I went to, that's where I learned that song was very gay.
