Be afraid of your future being scripted by a carnival of idiots led by Republican nominee Donald Trump. That is the popular wave being created by the stars, intellectuals, and many others.
Nigerian Nobel-winning author, Wole Soyinka, who currently resides in the US, recently said that he will tear up his green card and “start packing up” if Trump wins.
Taking it as their moral responsibility to warn billions of the catastrophic consequences of the Trump regime, Pussy Riot member Nadya, Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am and writer/actor Lena Dunham have released quirky tracks with a clear ‘No Trump’ message.
‘It’s Obvious It’s Hillary’
Pop band Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am donned the Trump wig for his music video ‘Grab’m By The Pu$$y’. The reference obviously comes from Trump’s sexist tape with Billy Bush that was leaked a month ago.
Another BEP member – Apple – throws pertinent questions at the singer posing as Trump, like ISIS, the Syrian crisis, police brutality against African Americans, etc.
“It is not a circus nor a TV show or a movie,” will.i.am stresses in the end, adding, “this is real life”.
‘No More Fat Pigs’
Russian feminist punk rock band Pussy Riot members were incarcerated in 2012 for performing in a Moscow church against the Orthodox Church’s support for President Putin during the elections. They were released after almost one-and-a-half years. The international support they received was massive, with even singers like Madonna and Bjork paying tribute to their badassery.
Ever since, they’ve bravely voiced their opinion on a number of issues plaguing the world.
Band member Nadya recently released a track named ‘Make America Great Again’, which imagines a future with Trump as the President.
“No more Muslims, no more Mexicans, no more small breasts, no more fat pigs, no more gays or lesbians, no more abortions...” the list goes on.
‘This Is What You Do For The Candidate You Love’
What do we love about a sunny brunch? A good chat with your mates and relish food with bubbly flowing on the side. But not for HBO Girls series creator Lena Dunham. Because she is “shaken by this election”.
For her, this polling season has revealed “the darkest aspects of American culture.” So what does she do with all this energy and rage? She breaks into a song called ‘Sensual Pantsuit Anthem’ in support of the American nation's “baddest grandmother Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
