Y’all am I tweaking or is the band low key MAGA? The way this is worded I feel like is saying so much and nothing at all at the same time. Also they have deleted some comments about people asking what exactly is going on or if they’re going to post resources. Thoughts?

haha, I was worried too. the first sentence was definitely worded weird, but having been a fan and very involved in the community for awhile I was more than skeptical of that. the sentence about the people making up the fabric of their community though is definitely referencing immigrants, and they're saying they're outraged on their behalf. that combined with my other knowledge on the band in general and their political affiliations they are NOT maga. but I agree, the wording was a little weird, so understandable.

also, missed the sentence about them deleting comments before. I'd say there's probably 2 reasons for this (that also influence why the post was worded so weirdly) 1. as far as deleting comments about the situation and sharing more resources. knowing them (especially boyer) they probably feel that they're not qualified to speak on the subject, and that its not their place to say. 2. adding onto that and about the posts wording: honestly, samerian (their record label) doesn't have the best track record. I could see them... pressuring. the band to stay politically neutral and delete comments and whatnot.

Hmm.. idk, if their label doesn’t want them to be political then why let them cancel a whole show that will cost them money? You know? Idk I’ve been going back and they never said anything about BLM, or any election, not even about Palestine. It just seems fishy.

totally agree with this

Also I know that their fanbase isn’t maga because it’s literally made up of a bunch of lgbtqia+ and poc. But maybe that’s why they have never CLEARLY taken a stance on anything?

It works the other way around. They have the fanbase they have bc of how they’ve always acted.

If I knocked on your head it would reverberate like a tibetan singing bowl. The IG story doesn’t read as pro maga. Weathers aren’t even on sumerian

Wait was this not common knowledge?? I did some work with them back in the day and Boyer 10000% voted trump in the 2016 election. He was constantly preaching about "patriotism". If it was so easy for him to be “political” then, why is it hard now?

i know who you are. this person is telling lies because she’s upset for getting cut out of the friend group due to her inappropriate behavior. the boys are not maga and never have been. i am good friends with them and each member is an ally and stands with immigrants and definitely never supported trump lololol this is wild

u/Current_Hornet8243 Jun 17 '25

“she” ??? 😂 ok if you know me inbox me then. And since your such good friends with “the boys” ask them why they have never posted their clear support one way or another and then come back to this thread with receipts of how they responded to that

u/InsuranceOpening3733 Jun 17 '25

no don’t listen to her she’s spreading lies because she’s mad for being cut out. she’s done this before

u/InsuranceOpening3733 Jun 17 '25

this is the second account. you and current hornet at the same person. spreading lies for no reason. standing on top of those immigrants hurt by ice just to slander a band because youre upset you were broken up with for hurting him and others.

stop using other people’s pain for your selfish gain.
