Did some digging and while there are some right leaning bands on my “I’ve enjoyed their music” list, none of them came as a surprise, like Leonard Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Five Finger Death Punch.
Guess self-awareness isn’t equal between right and left wings. Which is maybe even illustrated by being curious about this in the first place. Or maybe I’m overgeneralizing my own experience lol.
As a left winger, I’m probably more okay with listening to a song by an artist that doesn’t represent my views as long as it’s not too crazy and I’m not actively supporting them.
Imo art has value regardless of its source.
Right wingers for some reason feel betrayed. I guess to them it’s about not crossing tribes rather than going where their inspiration takes them.

I think you’re right. Rage Against the Machine apparently pissed off some conservative fans by opposing Trump.
John Dolmayan is a Trump supporter. Self-awareness doesn’t have to be bipartisan.
