Mariah's Glove Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) It’s a stupid and pointless thing to say in an interview promoting your new album but I think everyone agrees that it sorta was like shining a light on roaches hidden under a table It definitely showed just how broken this country really is, but I’m not sure “needed to happen” is the best way to say this but once again people will just rampage about this for a day or two for some retweets and then forget about it because people don’t actually care, they just want internet clout Edited January 11 by Mariah's Glove Link to post Share on other sites
Edit0rz Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) No this presidency did not need to happen. Yes, racism was festering under the surface in America. It always has and always will be, but before the racist were mostly too scared to share their prejudice in full view. This presidency gave legitimacy that racism is acceptable and now we are on the brink of full blown white supremacy in this country willing to lynch the VP and members of Congress. IT WAS REALLY NOT NEEDED and will take decades to get back into remission. She's an idiot and a narcissist herself so she should keep her mouth shut with her constantly flirting with rightwing and patriarchal imagery. She and her music and the ideals behind them ARE a huge problem and anyone who buys or streams her music should think it over and reconsider because you are perpetuating these ideas.

Venice B Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Did she lie though? Not only Trump but all this conservative wave that we've been facing for the past few years was needed so people would wake the **** up and vote for the right people. And it kinda worked since a lot of countries are voting the conservatives off power in recent years. She did not lie y'all just want to pick on her because she's an easy target rn.

305 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I mean she's not wrong. Y'all are only hearing it as a controversial headline and not understanding what she's actually saying (typical ATRL) She's not condoning any of his actions/inactions, she's CLEARLY talking about how his presidency has made the divide in the USA quite evident and it all culminated at the Capitol last week and that because of it there is a larger sense of what type of change is needed.

Underprivileged people and POC have known the world is narcissistic and doesn’t care about them since day one. How lucky that we had to elect an incompetent demagogue who stripped away their rights, jeopardised their safety and left millions dead in the process for Lana Del Rey and friends to realise it too. So disappointed in her. Sometimes it’s better to just be quiet and listen than to run your mouth about things that sound a lot more profound in your head, but Lana has repeated this same mistake time and time ago lately while showing zero inclination to grow and learn. This truly just sums it up. Imagine having to erase a “terrifying death toll” to prove your point. I thought we left behind the “Trump is an opportunity to to heal” narrative in 2016, but apparently not. Link to post Share on other sites

L.B GAGA Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, Keshasbxtch said: Honestly, his presidency did really show us how deep rooted racism is in the US. I’m not saying it didn’t exist before. But at least we know how prominent it is. And how we can begin to even start a change. Many including me back in 2016 stated, Trump's presidency is a trick. It was a plan to bring out all the roaches and rats(racists kkk,proud boys,tea party etc) from their hiding and disguises. So that they are dealt with in decades to come and changes can begin for certain institutionalized racist policies and people. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that it needed to happen so the dumb people could see how important it is to vote. nothing but a smart comment from Lana. People "paying attention to politics now" is not a good enough reason considering that if Trump lost in the first place- then clearly people were voting like they should be.

Namie-Knowles Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Americans aint need to learn ****. Non white Americans have been screaming at the top of their lungs for 400+ years. Even with all that happened this year, 75 Million people, 80+% of them white, still voted for him. If you think his presidency will teach white people anything, think again. Lmao. Lana nothing needed to happen because White Americans don't care enough. Link to post Share on other sites
