Is Green Day receiving more criticism now for their views on Trump than when they released American Idiot?

Once there was this band that wrote songs about masturbation and didn't care about politics, I miss this band.

Oh fuck

That band sure wasn't Green Day. Maybe you're thinking of Blink

Longview was literally the only song about masturbation and it was only 1 line which mentioned masturbation

[Cunt]

I wonder where this topic is heading next.

Pretty much everything up to Warning.

Someone in this thread has already mentioned Road To Acceptance. And they've been providing social commentary on some songs since before Warning. Maybe not openly political but they've always been aware of what's going on around them; "didn't care about politics" is a weird assumption to make just because they made one song referencing masturbation.

Does Trump seem like a very understanding and nice person to you?

I would just refer everyone to the first page where someone named Tresexy101 typed a comment and @Andres agreed with him.

You really must not have a lot going on with your life, do you?

Yet Trump supporters (the main users of it) aren't?

So you think people who voted for Trump are terrible people? That's a sad way to live my friend. 

When did they say that?

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

Here we go again... knock it off. 

[Billie Joes Eyelids]

The "snowflake" and "triggered" insults are getting very tired. They've completely lost their meaning, just like "fake news". It's just thrown out there as a generic insult now.

It was an iconic moment, really, I must say.

Trump voters themselves may not be terrible people but the fact that he is an aggressively terrible person himself didn't seem to bother them

Most of them aren't bothered by some of the dumb things he does and a lot are a little too bothered by dumb things that he's done or said. I have no problem calling him out on his mistakes and he's definitely made some.

Something Hillary voters can relate to.

We obviously fundamentally disagree on all levels so it might be best to end this here

[Ian1234]

I didn't vote for Clinton or Trump... I'm not a Trump supporter at all. But I'm sorta getting tired of Billie's Anti-Trump rants like some people on here have said. I also didn't like it when Billie compared Trump to Hitler. Yeah, I think they are getting more criticism because the Internet/Social Media/News Coverage is a lot bigger in 2017 than it was in 2004.
