If Dems don’t learn to listen to people like him, then we will continue to get the likes of DJT in office. He blames who he’s been taught to blame, and who in his world is countering the argument? The only tv channel he gets is Fox, and what have we done to give him an alternative?

The Hard Times is a very real punk news site that you should not question. Just absorb the information as truth and move on. The historic satire site was founded in December 1976. It’s made by a group of punk and hardcore kids from all the different sub-genres of the DIY hardcore scene. Any resemblance to actual persons or band names is coincidental.
It appears that Carlson Swagger does not, as of this posting, exist.
This one apparently got enough attention to raise the ire of Trump:
Which gives him brownie points aplenty in my book (or whatever the punk equalivent is
