Heard My Chemical Romance was created after witnessing 9/11, so I looked up the band's political beliefs and came across this thread about Frank Iero

he's literally so confusing. remember a few years ago when he had a 'don't tread on me flag' on his basement wall? he also was totally voting for bernie sanders. ... when blm movement got its biggest attention in 2020 he published some shitty depoliticizing note. its one of the worst notes i've read back then

He's definitely not a right winger. Maybe moderate leftist. Not everyone needs to fit into a neat little box.

He is an "Italian American" style leftist from NJ. Definitely socially progressive and left of center on social issues, but still sees value in some traditions. It makes sense if you know anyone from New Jersey

Anything left of literal Nazis is a win today.

In an alternative timeline the Weimar Republic was a two-party system and liberals in 1945 are patting themselves on the back because they went door to door campaigning for 99% Hitler of the Lesser Fascist Party who killed only 5.94 million Jewish people at the end of his chancellery (harm reduction)
