Green Day used to be anti-establishment, now they are the establishment.

American Idiot is almost 20 years old and the message hasn't changed. Do these people just have zero media literacy?

Yes. They also think Rage Against the Machine “got political”.

RATM.

Morello is a crazy talented guitarist and overall nice guy but he’s also really intelligent and educated which tees up idiots for easy humiliation. He rocks in all the ways.

Tom Morello went to Harvard and got a PoliSci degree.

Ah, yes. The far away time when "Far Right" just meant ideologically conservative and not the wannabe brownshirts. So long ago, 2012.

Republicans and Wealthy businessmen plotted a Nazi style overthrow of FDR and the US government in the 1930s. Republican Nazis have been a trope and a joke throughout the last 40 to 50 years. I'll give you this, they went from being quiet and out of sight to front and center.
