    As the article points out, the original lyric from American Idiot is, “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda.” They changed it to, “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda.”

    …Can this even be considered a significant change? It’s more like a modernization of the original language. Whose agenda did they think Green Day was previously referring-- oh, right. They probably didn’t do any research, did they? It’s just manufactured outrage, so they can pretend that the left is just as vile as they are.

      If anything they’ve gotten more specific with their language. They’ve made an adjustment in language to reflect there’s rednecks out there who aren’t on board for fascism. They’re speaking about EXACTLY who they mean now

      Rednecks are poor workers its a classist term more than anything else. MAGA is Christofascism. They did good.
