    I must say much respect! I read your entire description as I always do. For the benefit of others reading this, I can confirm it's true. You have allowed opposing views in your comments, at least mine. I assume my comment was left because it was respectful, a combination of facts and opinions that challenged your ideas and not your character and in fact, I even heavily complimented your talents, both instrumental and vocal. I remember even saying my comment would probably be deleted because I figured either you guys or UA-cam itself would remove it, but then no one did. I appreciate that you are open to the idea that you and many others could be wrong. One thing I also mentioned in my potentially controversial comment is that he's not perfect and I don't agree with everything he says and does. But all this talk about n*zi, fac*sm, hi*ler, etc is just wrong. He was already president once and everything, literally every measurable statistic, was better when he was president. Do you know why we came out in droves? Because everyone is sick and tired of the woke nonsense, all the lies, the increase of crime due to open borders, the fact that even more wealthy people are struggling to keep up financially, the number of women and girls who are losing their athletic opportunities because of guys pretending to be gals just to dominate their sports and have access to their locker rooms and bathrooms. People who once were considered "well off" are now more like lower middle class. It's wild. All along they were saying it was close. It was never close. He won by a landslide. Why did it appear close? Because many of us chose not to answer the questionnaires that provided data for those polls. Most of us have seen the unhinged behavior of extreme leftists and chose not to advertise in advance who we already knew we were voting for. I will tell you the same thing I've been telling many others: over the next few years, and with results visible within the next several months, you will see that he's not the evil monster that mainstream media would have you believe. We, his supporters, are not all racists, bigots, anti women, etc any more than he is. He got rid of Roe Vs Wade. He didn't end the right to that unfortunate thing, he just gave states the power to decide, as it should be. Obviously I'm pro life but regardless of your views on any topic, one thing most people can agree on is that the federal government should have only minimal say about our personal lives and choices. I've had plenty of pro choice people agree with me on that. Ab*rtion is the number one most heated topic in my opinion, and it's often the deciding factor as to who someone votes for. Trump is pro life but he's also realistic. He's not going to ban it federally. If he were going to do that, or any of the other nonsense the far left media would have you believe, he would have done it during his first term. I could go on and on but my comment is already long. Just know I appreciate your humility in acknowledging perhaps you and many, many others have been incorrect, misinformed. Much love from a huge fan who loves your music regardless of your beliefs! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

    I read what you wrote about the comments you have received, and just want to throw in my two cents from Canada. First, I hope you're wrong as well, and that I am, and that sweetness and harmony and loving empathy and caring come about in the United States....but I sure don't think that's going to happen - and it's all terrifying. Second, I think it's absolutely wonderful that you have raised your kids to be so aware of what is happening in the world and that you are empowering them to become involved and have a voice. From everything I can see, they are all feisty enough to disagree with you if they want. They are very lucky kids (and of course, you are lucky parents to have them). Keep at it!

      Don't give up on us yet. In our area? Granted, Minnesota, neighbors help each other, are friends even. So good isn't gone here. And I hear similar stories all over our country. If all the tomfoolery hadn't been done here? I am convinced without a doubt that we would have our first woman president. Too many of us were prevented the vote. But republicans have been working toward that end for decades and we dems? Sometimes I think we were sleeping, sometimes I think we were naive, but we are not dumb. Hey, maybe we are WOKE now.

Personally I think you all beat most politicians worldwide with your commentary upon the world and their perspective is only brought about by well balanced parenting.

    I can't believe that anyone would tell you that young people shouldn't be involved in politics. It is their world too, and I like that you guide them to look at all sides of issues. If your kids end up having differing views than you, or not, either way they are coming from a place of knowledge and thought, instead of just parroting what someone tells them. As far as it goes here in the US, it is clear to me that people would rather elect a monster than a woman for President. Had his opponent been male, I don't think he would have won at all. Anyway, we do just have to see what happens now, and hope is about all we have to hang onto. Many thanks for your music and your caring. I know that this is a global thing, everyone may be affected.

      They were involved and among voters 18-29, 53% of the males went to Trump and 60% of the females went for Harris. So turnout projected to that demo was overhyped at least on the non-MAGA side. The Christian Right has been working on getting its younger people to vote the radical Christian platform. The only other gender split I found so far was among Hispanics where 55% of the men voted for Trump and 62% of the women vvoted for Harris. Course now some Hispanic Trump voters are now figuring out that their citizenship doesn't extend to undocumented family members and deportations will start by Jan. 21 starting with the workplaces. Which will be that time of year construction sites, garment production, meat packing, fisheries, dairies, chicken processing plants. Also asylum seekers and migrants living in hotels, DACAs.etc. The most difficult people to find will be the actual criminals in a population of people with lower crime committing rates than in the citizen population. Not sure a male could have beaten the red tide b/c both houses of congress went MAGA. I think my state's governor was a potential nominee and has made announcements that he won't enforce any illegal acts or laws by MAGA government. He could make 2016 Trump pee in his pants with a single phone call. Not sure about 2024's version.

    Absolutely brilliant. Even as a straight cover, it would have been one of the best of many versions I've ever heard - easily on par with Aerosmith's. However, the combination of (extremely difficult) optimism, humility, and legitimate fear in the new lyrics are spot on. Now, all of us who have spent the last few years hoping DJT got an orange jumpsuit instead of near-total power -given full control of Congress, his own party, the Supreme Court majority, and their immunity decision - are in the position of hoping we were wrong about everything. Unfortunately, I just can't bring myself to see the positive side of indiscriminate tarriffs, mass deportation, a cabinet full of enablers, or his plans for Ukraine and Palestine. But, this does help. Thanks!

    Hi, just came across your family covering some great songs. I really enjoyed each of them. It is great to see you are a close-knit family and not preaching you need religion, Christianity or some other intangible thing to make a better world. You are showing you just need connections to family, friends and sometimes a stranger who is only someone you have just met to all be better than how your day started. Thank you.

    As an Aussie I didn’t know much about him until 8 years ago, (those were the days!), but since then we’ve all had ample opportunity to see and hear what he’s like.
    Even if news and media sources are discounted, we know full well from his own words and actions, as well as from former staff, colleagues and close family members, that he’s UNFIT for the office of President.
    “Nightmarish chaos” is how my American relatives and friends described his first four years and unfortunately, I think TDS will prove even worse the second time.
    Like you - and no doubt tens of millions of others in the U.S. and around the world - I’d LOVE to be wrong and as you wrote, time will tell.

    I can objectively admit that although our political viewpoints do not align.
    I give you all major props for posting this and admitting that it is possible that the fears that you may have had about the results of this election may not come to pass. I can definitely agree with the general message of this song, as this country has been very very divided ever since such a polarizing figure had entered the US political arena in 2016.

So is discussion toward reaching a solution. Respect.

Whoever wrote the video description, and some of these lyrics, is naive, a grifter, or doesn't care about all the harm that will come with Trumps fascism. I understand in times like this we have to not let apathy, negativity, and hardship immobilize, divide, and distract us, and we should certainly "Come Together" now that community and solidarity will be more important now than ever, but lets not sugar coat all the horror that's already happened under Trump, i.e the botching of the pandemic response and appointing of far right hacks to the highest court, and all the bad undoubtedly to come.

    Lyrically, compared to other songs about the UK and US elections this year it was suitably subdued. He won in a democratic vote and you acknowledge that. However, I know plenty of people in the US who are much afraid based on his last term. History will judge his actions, but people have to live with the consequences of his actions. Resistance in the arts, through peaceful campaigning and in two years time in the midterms needs to continue. America needs to come together after such a divisive election campaign. But politicians and big business should be opposed if they don’t reflect the will of the people or lead to wholesale destruction of the natural world.
