This, of course, was for the fake \u201cunaliving\u201d of <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> and <strong>Elon Musk\u00a0<\/strong>(decked out in a DOGE shirt)\u00a0on stage at Chicago\u2019s Riot Fest on September 20th. Carrying on their tradition of taking out headline names such as JonBen\u00e9t Ramsey, Jerry Garcia, and George W. Bush, GWAR decided there was no time like the present to destroy Elon Musk and \u201cDozy\u201d Donald Trump on stage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1352\">The ever-sensitive, double-standard MAGA lunatics sparked a huge debate on social media after being triggered by this awesomeness, launching yet another argument about the boundaries of art, satire, and the \u201cnormalization of political violence.\u201d Let\u2019s not forget that this is the same party that brought us such hits as <em data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1236\">\u201cJoe &amp; the Ho Gotta Go\u201d<\/em> and images of Barack Obama depicted as a monkey being hung from a tree. Such a sensitive, loving bunch of people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1790\">Anonymous patriots, such as one calling themselves \u201cAnonymous Patriot,\u201d posted: <em data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1745\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re witnessing is the normalization of political violence as a form of entertainment. When major festivals can host mock executions of political figures, dismiss criticism with vulgar responses, and watch audiences cheer simulated beheadings, there\u2019s a problem\u2014because this isn\u2019t just satire anymore.\u201d<\/em> Yeah, okay, Bubba. Thanks for weighing in.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1792\" data-end=\"2339\">Yes, this piece turned a bit more political, but here\u2019s the nutshell: if you\u2019re worried about the antics of a Virginia-based shock-metal band and not batting an eye at the fact that, in 2022, Donald Trump Jr. posted a picture of underwear and a hammer saying, <em data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2231\">\u201cGot my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready. The internet remains undefeated\u2026 Also, if you switch out the hammer for a red feather boa, you could be Hunter Biden in an instant,\u201d<\/em> then you may just be delusional, insane, and inbred\u2014and you are NOT entitled to any form of compensation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2341\" data-end=\"2710\">If you\u2019d like to witness this glorious carnage for yourself, be sure to catch GWAR on their 40th Anniversary <em data-start=\"2450\" data-end=\"2475\">\u201cThe Return of Gor Gor\u201d<\/em> tour, which kicks off October 18th in Salt Lake City, UT, and wraps up with a hometown show on November 22nd in Norfolk, VA.
