MAGA melts down over Super Bowl halftime performance

Isn't that like a yearly tradition for them at this point. I honestly can't remember the last half time show they didn't bitch about

Why would the pedophile Matt Gaetz be offended by a song dissing pedophiles?

But also fuck this type of partisan rage bait article. This type of writing is what divides us, even if it's saying things you wanna hear.

Annoying generalization and useless Internet noise what even is journalism

So sick of these clickbait headlines. From the headline to the body "Melts down" -> "wasn't too impressed". BORING. Journalists need to do some actual work like they used to instead of just farming rage bait.

Kendrick dropping truth bombs on the NFL’s biggest stage? Cue the MAGAverse hyperventilating into their flag-print fainting couches. Nothing terrifies fragile hegemony more than Black artistry that isn’t sanitized for their comfort. Oh no—a Pulitzer-winning rapper dared weave politics into the sacred ad-break circus! Next they’ll demand halftime shows be replaced with Lee Greenwood AI covers.

The meltdown’s a feature, not a bug. Conservatives need perpetual outrage to mask their cultural irrelevance. Imagine stanning a draft-dodging conman but seething when an actual poet weaponizes the mic. Stay mad—the future’s rhyming without you.

What’s with the media’s obsession with the opinions of known trolls like Matt Walsh?! Fuck, stop highlighting his drivel and that of people like him. You’re giving them free advertising!

Maga melting down over a black performer isn’t news. It’s olds!

Shocking that MAGA wouldn't like someone who disses pedophiles.

I thought Kendrick was very good, and I don't listen to him or very much of that style music. He is amazingly talented and I thought a top tier showman. In the article, Jack Posobic said that he wished it was Creed (like In the 2001 half time) instead. Since this was the Apple Music streaming halftime show, I looked it up. #1 Streamer of last year was Kendrick, I didn't see Creed in the top 50. Also Billboard has Kendrick at #4 all year for Streaming, also no Creed. I know Creed had a big resurgence last year touring, but I was around listing to music in 2001 and we all voted that Creed sucks. I didn't like those people who liked Creed then, and even more so now.

Kendrick killed it, who gives a shit what haters think.

Right-wing commentators Eric Daugherty and Benny Johnson took their criticism to the extreme, describing the performance as “Black nationalist" and calling Lamar a “mumbling pagan Satanic cultist”.

This would only make me want to see it if I hadn’t already lol

Why? It was straight up nationalist propaganda

If all MAGAts just spontaneously died that would be fucking boffo.

If your entire personality, beliefs, reactions, actions, debates, arguments and statements are all based on anger .... at one point nothing in this world will make you happy and you'll just be angry at everyone and everything.

Stay mad America .... we can't help you any more.

The opening was propaganda and the ads were propaganda. What do they have to complain about?

I like Kendrick Lamar and still found it kind of boring.

I’m just mad he didn’t say the word “pedophile”

Well of course.

1. The host and musical guests were black.
2. Kendrick calls out pedophiles.

They can't have either of those obviously.

"Melts down", like when a nuclear reactor goes critical, isn't the apt descriptor for this response.

It was more like, "Maga generally disliked or was otherwise uninterested in the super bowl halftime performance".

Bitches can stay mad.

Where can I watch the halftime show? Gotta see him dunking on these pedos.

Snowflakes
