What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

I just think that there's a difference in enjoying an artists' works despite their politics, and liking a *work* despite the politics in it. I'm not saying that you shouldn't, but for example I can't put up with the Allen creepy old man movies while I have no issue with his other classics.

Although it is alarming how many of his classics already involve creepy old man themes

In his classics he was a creepy old man in training.

I'm fully willing to concede that the fact Allen's classics are not creepy old man movies (i.e. Manhattan) is just because he wasn't old enough yet. But I'll take them

I think the fact he was physically less powerful than the girls he was dating should also count for something.

Woody Allen is not very physically imposing. Diane Keaton could have definitely taken him.

What does that have to do with him being a sexual predator?

IIRC Ryan was aware that the band's viewpoint and lyrics were not consistent with his own views, he said he just liked the music.  Nothing wrong with that, it's like Jews listening to Wagner or R.Strauss or the St. Matthew's Passion

The lyrics of RATM aren't particularly subtle and I do wonder how can one do the whole "love the music, don't share the politics" when Zack de la Rocha is shouting said politics at you.

Well, I like RATM's Killing in the name of and I find myself on the opposite end of the spectrum.

And how do you reconcile that, when their politics are so much in your face that it's being screamed at you, and radically opposite to your own positions?

I did like a few of Michael Jackson's songs.  That does not mean I believe pedophilia to be a wonderful thing.  I really liked As I lay Dying, but I wouldn't consider myself a bible-thumper christian by any definition.

I do not have to reconcile anything.  I liked Killing in the name of, it's a good song.  There are songs I like that talk about drug binges and toxic relationship (I hate everything about you), yet I hate drugs, and I easily walk away from such relationships.  Sometimes I like a song for its lyrics, other times, for its music.

I definitely believe in death of the author especially when the author is quite literally dead.

A whistleblower has lodged a complaint that forced hysterectomies are being performed in an ICE facility (one being run by a for-profit corporation) detaining asylum seekers and migrants.
