Anyone else unnerved by the whole 'continuing as normal' vibe and also guy on stage chanting "they're not like us" to crowd that effectively voted in a fascist and rapist who also is sitting in the crowd. (I know who Kendrick Lamar is and am a fan of hip hop) "The revolution will be televised" what the actual fuck bro :(

I feel like this all flew over my head. I could tell something was flying under the radar but not quite what. The splitting of the flag, like what's the meaning there? If he's talking about the revolution, is he talking about against or for trump? To me it sounded the opposite, wouldn't a revolution be against what is at present, which is trump?

It symbolized a divided America, which is only exacerbated by Trump.

Right!? Trump very much ran on a platform of breaking down government institutions so the messaging is going to have to get a little more clear.

Also people are already dying but as many of us know it's not going to be readily accessible information. Neither is the god damn revolution. Words of wisdom he kind of pissed on there.

As a victim of actual child predators I'm over it being used as a political device too, especially when it's used to hurt and villanize my trans brothers and sisters

The whole thing was deeply unnerving
