Neil Young: "Every move Trump makes is to build instability so he can stay in power"

“Wake up, people!” Young declared. “Today the USA is a disaster. Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters, inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with Trump’s falseness so they can hold their unearned positions in his inept government, a Congress full of Republicans acting like idiots with no conscience…He has divided us. How did we elect these creeps who have no spin, no values, no conscience, no way to save the USA.”

"We need to take Trump at his word," Young wrote. "Make America Great Again. It won't be easy while he is trying to turn our cities into battlegrounds so he can cancel our elections with marshal law and escape all accountability."

Young added, "Something has to change this. We know what to do. Rise up. Peacefully in millions. Too many innocent people are dying."

*****

"It's ICE cold here in America," he wrote. "There was no ICE before Trump. No soldiers in the streets before Trump. Every move he makes is to build instability so he can stay in power. He knows nothing about love. He does not know who you are. Use your love of life, your love of one another, your love of children, yours and theirs and ours. Peacefully. Now."

Yet our members of Congress seem clueless to this.

Maybe he was prescient, and he was singing a metaphor for deportations.

21. The CSNY documentary is free to stream on TubiTV, and it has great coverage of the "Living With War" tour

Folks may remember the "Living With War" album as the one that featured "Let's Impeach The President" (George W Bush, "for lying," as the lyrics go, leading the USA into the Iraq War under false pretenses).

The whole album is about the political climate at the time.

He invited Crosby, Stills & Nash to tour behind the album but told them it wasn't going to be a "Greatest Hits" tour. They were going to perform the "Living With War" album with a few extra tracks (the live album includes "Deja Vu" ).

Anyway...it's covered in the doc and you'll see one EXTREMELY ANGRY Bush fan, a predecessor of the MAGAts, because Trump hadn't yet ventured into politics (it came out nine years before Trump slithered down his "'gold escalator" ).
