I chuckled heartily earlier today when I saw a post on the front page of the R-word site that was posted to the conservative sub. It was a picture of the band holding up a mask of Trump with idiot written on it and a title along the lines of "After Trump assassination attempt, Green Day holds up head of Donald Trump".

Literally, it was just a mask of Trump with something like "Idiot" written on it from a band that quite literally is known for criticizing the government (understatement).

They were making it sound like it was an implicit threat to Trump and hateful rhetoric inciting further violence.

I swear there must be some brain damage involved in those types of conclusions.

Meanwhile there were several effigies of Obama with a noose around their necks
