Honestly, I'm sure he would be disappointed to say the least which you probably know and is why you are questioning it to begin with! I guess if you are just fans of the music and are not really getting into trying to decipher the true meaning of Jim's or the band's lyrics I can see how you could be a fan of both the band and Trump. But if you truly dive into the lyrics and the message that Jim tries to convey about hope for this world, it pretty much is 100% at odds with the message of division, hate and bigotry that Trump spreads to all of his believers. You don't like that bands like MMJ and musicians like Jim James express their political views, maybe stick with those 'musicians' that align more with the values of the MAGA cult like Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.
To be honest, the more I think about it, the more it makes me understand why the last show I saw in Cleveland over the weekend reminded me more of a Trump rally than an MMJ sho which was really disappointing but would explain the whole frat party vibe from many of the people in attendance. People seemed to be more worried about how drunk they could get while constantly talking over the band than actually paying attention to the music?!?!? It was not even close to the same vibe I got from a half filled show at the Masonic Temple in Detroit earlier in the summer where the numbers may have been small but everyone was pulling in the same direction. And I feel like the band could feel the energy from that small crowd in Detroit more than the frat party scene in Cleveland.
Sorry, don't like to get political but when it comes to supporters of a person like Trump who is in it only for themselves, I lose all respect. My 21 year old daughter dated a MAGA turd for nearly 2 years (what she saw in that ass I will never know). But what finally lifted the veil that was blinding her from seeing the true loser he is was when he called her 'Fucked in the head' because she wouldn't succumb to the MAGA cult. She's fucked in the head??? Losers like him need to look in the mirror!!! Silver lining is at least this was the straw that finally broke her to break up with his sorry Trumpy ass!!! This was all from a supposed 'God fearing christian'. The hypocrisy that comes out of the MAGA cult is more than I can take...
