Dee Snider took aim at former President Donald Trump’s supporters, claiming that “MAGAT FASCISTS” and others like them were the reason behind Twisted Sister’s iconic anthem “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
Snider alternated between all-caps and normal text in a tweet that mirrored the tone of the angry protest rock for which he is famous.

ATTENTION QANON, MAGAT FASCISTS: Every time you sing "We're Not Gonna Take It" remember it was written by a cross-dressing, libtard, tree hugging half-Jew who HATES everything you stand for. It was you and people like you that inspired every angry word of that song! SO FUCK OFF!

But as critics quickly noted, Democrats were the driving force behind the effort to censor bands like Snider’s — and that song in particular.
Aldous Huxley’s Ghost (@AF632) responded to the tweet, saying, “I remember you in Congress, Dee, arguing in favor of free speech because Democrats wanted to censor you. Now you’re shilling for those same Democrats in power.”
Snider appeared before the Senate in 1985 after a pro-censorship group known as the Parental Music Resource Center (PMRC) published a list of problematic bands and tunes that included Twisted Sister. Although the Senate was controlled by Republicans at the time, the drive to censor music was largely a Democrat project. The PMRC itself was spearheaded by Tipper Gore — who would be second lady just seven years later — and suggested that “We’re Not Gonna take It” should be slapped with warning label because it promoted “violence.”

Snide calls himself a Libertarian, but he’s more like a Libtardian.....................😎
He be old, old.
Yeah but he wants to be relevant again
wow... dee snider on stage at st jude with the trumps singing we ain’t gonna take it...
whatta maroon.
Didn’t really care for his music back in the day and I could now care less about his (like most other entertainers) views and thoughts.
Dee, dude, your song was released in 1984. There were not MAGA in the 1980’s or 1990’s or 2000’s……. So exactly who did you write the song about!
Hey dee, stomp yer foot some more, we need a good laugh! How’s your reality TV show going? lol
Also, once those "explicit" stickers were slapped on those CDs, the kids snapped them up like hotcakes. It got to the point where some rock bands purposely put a little obscenity in their songs in order to obtain the coveted sticker - much in the same way the movie industry goes out of its way to ensure at least a PG-13 rating when their target audience is 13 or above. Otherwise a "G" rating can be the kiss of death for a movie targeted to that demographic.
Well here we are decades later and the rock stars back then are mostly grouchy old farts today. Also, Tipper is divorced from Algore, who continues to shake his fist at people with "carbon footprints" as he travels around in his private jet.
Trump needs to play We’re Not Gonna Take It at every rally, several times, just to piss off this asshole.
Don’t know about y’all, but this hurts cause I sing Dee’s only 40 year old hit almost every day.
No-talent one-hit wonder says what?
And by “we’re not gonna take it anymore” he of course means they will throw a hissy fit
“remember it was written by a cross-dressing, libtard, tree hugging half-Jew who HATES everything you stand for”

Half-Jew and whole idiot. (What is a half Jew? I assume it means that one of his parents is a secular Jew and has little to no connection with Judaism.)
Don’t care whether it is in jest or hate, MAGAT is cleverly adoptable. Like Adorable Delplorable.
Never heard of him.
What is the point of saying “half-Jew”?
