I'm a conservative emo/pop-punk fan. Assuming 99.86% of the bands I listen to vote for people different from me is my default position. Just don't be a douchebag about it, and don't sound like you hate the half the country who disagrees with you. Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams has gone the douche route with her latest political rant.

When we last left Williams, she was telling Paramore fans that if they voted for Ron DeSantis, they were dead for her. Now, we have an anti-Donald Trump rant about Project 2025. You know Project 2025. That's the thing where the Koch Brothers and Haliburton are going to destroy the internet unless we pass Net Neutrality.

“Project 2025 is Donald Trump‘s playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda. And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls. Do you want to live in a dictatorship?"

At least when bestie Taylor Swift endorsed, she had an aide post something on Instagram so she didn't sound like an idiot. Here's the thing, though. While Hayley gave the appearance of a passionate, impromptu rant, she was reading from a script.

Literally reading from a script.

It wasn't even her thoughts. They were thoughts that, if I were to guess, we're written by a Democrat strategist of a progressive nonprofit. The Left uses celebrities and influencers to push their agenda, knowing both won't ask questions, will just repeat what they're told, and take the money, knowing that any misinformation told will be sworn by the media.

It's been going on since at least 2016 when Mike Rowe exposed the Obama White House (that Joe is the former vice president of) expecting Obama stans to repeat his anti-gun rhetoric. "If our elected officials are going to rely on actors and comedians to advance their political agendas, let’s not limit them to 140 characters or a list of pre-approved talking points."

Then came TikTok, where you can earn a quick $400 for making an anti-Trump video. The catch is you can't ask questions, or make any attempt to verify the information you're being told to repeat. Legal influencer Preston Moore found this out when he got an offer from something called the "The Good Information Foundation." It's a shadowy dark money group run by Former Obama Under Secretary of State Rick Stengel, claiming that "America is in an information crisis," and that "disinformation is threatening public health, safety, social trust and democracy."

They didn't like Preston asking questions about the disinformation he was asked to spread to save democracy.

The Left didn't like it when TikToker, internet personality, and OnlyFans model Farha Khalidi asked questions either. During the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings, a white woman from the Biden Admin wanted Khalidi to create content about how important it was for her to see Jackson up there as "a brown person."

The funny thing is they’re, like, "Do not disclose this as an ad" because they [were], like, "Technically, it’s not a product, so you don’t have to disclose it’s an ad." ... I’m not gonna have a White person tell me "This is how I feel as a person of color." I think that black-pilled me slightly on political propaganda."

If all else fails, they can go the old-fashioned route. Have Democrat strategists send memos and talking points to the media outlining how they would prefer the news be reported. Democratic mega-donor Reid Hoffman's strategist Dmitri Mehlhorn got busted doing that, attempting to get the media to claim Trump staged the shooting. In Mehlhorn's defense, you can understand why he thought the media would go for it based on their coverage of Trump for the past eight years. But it would require explaining on what planet you think Donald Trump would put himself in the line of fire of live ammo.

(And you may remember Hoffman as being the Democrat billionaire who funded the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit)

But most embarrassing? Hayley couldn't even memorize the basic talking points. How hard is remembering a noun and a verb and a threat to democracy? Derptu derp, Project 2025?

I can do the rant on command at this point. And I know it's all bullplop.
