The reason I post my opinions on this forum and open myself up to attack and ridicule is for you , the silent ones who think they are alone in a world where their thoughts are alien or wrong. You’re not alone , millions are with you. For those of you who think you are coming from a morally superior position therefore any differing opinion or viewpoint is invalid think again. It’s the easy path to think like you , it’s in their best self interests for celebrities and politicians to support you but you will lose in the end because you are the very thing you pretend to fight against. The true fascist, the true bigots hidden in plain sight from the same party who fought to maintain slavery , Jim Crow , non voting rights for women , and who are directly responsible for 70 plus million abortions ,a large majority of whom were black. You don’t want free speech , you can’t handle free speech because you are cowards and need to be herded along with the rest of the sheep. I’m lucky , I’m in an industry where you CAN be honest about your views wherever they fall with little to no repercussions. I don’t rely on a movie studio , label , media or anyone else who will bow down to pandering political correctness and am in no danger whatsoever of “ losing my job” because you don’t like what I have to say . This is a dangerous time where free thought and speech is under attack but it will pass , the next generation is watching as they always do and they will overcome your insanity. Oh , happy birthday President Trump and good luck in November!




I don’t care much for the band but cheers to him on this

I’ve always liked SOAD. They are sons of Armenian immigrants. Their family’s have seen true tyranny and genocide.

He plays the bass drum by swinging his big brass ball. Not using a pedal.

I respect this so much but honestly man, maybe you should focus on music and leave people to come up with their own political views

He's the only one in the band who feels this way. Glad he's got the comic book gig as a backup.

Serj and Daron, who control everything with SOAD, will likely put him out of a job soon because they're FAR left. Shavo is left as well, I believe.

I don't care what that man does for a living. He is obviously intelligent and stands by his beliefs.

That gets my respect, plus he is a very good writer.

Considering the lyrical content of many of their songs, I wouldn't have expected any of them to be Trump supporters. I saw them at Ozzfest years ago. Good show, good band.
