you know what’s going on with lil nas x is persecution, right. it’s not “just” internet trolling—he’s only 21 and being targeted by SITTING SENATORS for his art. this is textbook persecution, complete with the coalescing of religion and political power, and the fact that he can fire off meme-y one liners doesn’t change that! fucking hell! it horrifies me how this is being played off for laughs, even by leftists and “we are the daughters of witches you couldn’t burn” crowd. it’s terrifying and the actual, bodily threat to him is VERY REAL regardless of how funny his responses are.
y’all… He’s just one person. There are multiple U.S government officials targeting him and using him as a representative of all the evils in the world instead of doing their own fucking jobs.
No one is able to take all that by himself. No one. Making public art that is well within it’s right to exist shouldn’t be a license to get attacked by the literal government like this. Humor is a coping strategy, but it can’t hold up forever.
We gotta support him.
