    Holy shit that’s bad. Can’t even try to claim the excuse of “a job is a job” and claiming there’s no politics to it.

      He ends that last reply with “no more spending taxpayer dollars, that era is over!” which is a pretty good indication that there very much is politics to it (so I agree with you, but also he isn’t even trying to hide it, so I don’t see him trying to defend himself by pretending he doesn’t support their politics)

      but the exposure!

      I’m sure all those right wing zealots will be lining up to give him lucrative gigs after this. After all, they’re known for their love of edm and the culture surrounding it. They certainly don’t despise everyone in attendance at the average gig (aside from the hot girls on molly they still despise but want to sexually assault)!

      Supposedly, none of the musicians who played at the inauguration were paid for it.

      Really tells you about the caliber of these people. Both the artists and the administration.
