1. Nazi punks fuck off

2. Basically the same thing

3. Here comes the rage from the maggots saying the band has gone woke. Same treatment RATM received, it’s almost laughable how dense those people are.

4. [“They’re the same picture” meme]

5. Nice to see punk’s not dead.

6. That tracks. Absolute banger of a song, too

7. In the words of the great woody Guthrie

   Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
   Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
   Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
   We’re gonna lay you fascists down

8. That’ll show ‘em

9. He did it on Stern a couple years ago. BJ’s been doing that this whole time.

10. Good for them. Need more of this.

11. No Trump! No KKK! No Fascist USA!

12. They also sang “No Trump No KKK No fascist USA” when performing it on an awards show in 2016. So it’s not like they haven’t done this before.

13. They’ve been doing this for a while. It’s not new.

14. Sounds good to me. Not sure why it’s newsworthy to be against fascism.

15. I hope it pissed of a ton of MAGAts!

16. There are about to be a *LOT* of dudes with sunglasses in their trucks streaming about this tomorrow.

17. How stunning and brave.

18. Glad he cleared up the confusion, everyone thought he was a trump supporter!/s

19. Heard this live and said, “Wait, did he just…?” Good for him.

20. They have been singing those altered lyrics for years.

21. Wow now green day has gone woke! Who’s next? Rage against the machine??

22. Nothing more punk than repeating the same sentiment as every major media institution for the last 6 years

23. Always liked that guy, now I like him even more

24. That whole album is about how dumb trumpers are back before Trump was even a thing.

25. Oh my God. So brave and edgy. /s

26. Dude, so that’s the word they bleeped out? What in the hell??
