Baby We Were Born This Dumb

While in Manchester England, Bruce Springsteen went on a bender insulting America and Donald Trump. He called Trump "incompetent" and "treasonous."

NEW: Bruce Springsteen rants about Trump's deportations during a concert. pic.twitter.com/xdfCydjnl0 — Resist the Mainstream (@ResisttheMS) May 17, 2025

He had some choice things to say, some of which were pure nonsense:

- “Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring!”
- “In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society.”
- “In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. They’re removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is happening now.”
- “A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American.”
He did this in England, where you can be arrested for a social media post that “offends” someone. In England you can be arrested for praying silently in an across the street protest. He went to a more authoritarian country to complain about authoritarianism.

No American has been deported by the Trump administration.

No civil rights legislation has been revoked.

No one’s free speech has been abridged. Speech remains free but not free from consequences.

I have despised Springsteen for some time. He is the classic bleeding-heart liberal. He sings songs about the poor and being oppressed but his net worth is around $700 million and doesn’t spread it around. He also takes tax advantages as a wealthy farm owner in New Jersey.

It is unseemly to go overseas and malign your country because you don’t like the party in charge. Kid Rock called him out for that:

“To be in Europe talking junk about our President who gets up and works his ass off everyday for our country……to do that in Europe, what a punk move. I mean this guy’s got what $500 million - billion dollars and he’s out there playing like he’s a working class hero and really to me he just wants to be in good standing with the Hollywood Elite…”
So did Ted Nugent:

Democrats are so invested in hating President Trump, they will do and say anything pic.twitter.com/0goesl1qCq — GABRIEL (@TheGabriel72) May 18, 2025

He tends to meddle, often ending in irony:

Bruce Springsteen,

Didn’t get the “shut up and sing” memo.

That guy is also stuck in the past with his social causes...

BTW, where was this speech by Bruce when 1,300 people were charged with crimes, 460 stuck in prison, some for years on nothing more than trespassing in all reality: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3-years-jan-6-numbers-1200-charged-460/story?id=106140326

People like him have an inflated ego, to the point where they think because they can write a song and sing on stage, that makes them an expert on everything.

They think they define what it is to be American. Common problem among ideologues.

They are embarrassing themselves, but to narcissistic to realize this.

Paraphrasing Steppenwolf, Bruce was “Born to be Dialed”.

His music is bombastic, self important and over-produced.

I have never heard any of his post-80s music.

Great song title.

Would make a great parody song without much change from the original lyrics

This isn’t new. Springsteen has always been like this.

Bruce would do well to heed the advice of Michael Jordan: Republicans buy sneakers too.

Springbroke must have been attacked by IQ sucking dementors early in life. He never recovered.

“Born to Run” was almost an anthem in Cleveland in 1975-1980. So much so that every Friday at 6 PM, they’d play it on our local station, followed by some verbiage and screaming from a local guy by the name of Murray Saul, and then “Cleveland Rocks” to start the weekend.

As a high school student and part time car wash employee, we’d often tune peoples’ cars to that station and crank it as the cars went through the wash, raising the ire of ‘some’ customers.

Sorry to say, I really liked his stuff back then. Of course, I’ve grown up a little bit (very little, I’m told) since then, and he’s drifted from a working class hero of sorts to a crazy libtarded egomaniac.

Is his tailor the same one that does Taylor Swift’s wardrobe?

I’m in the age group he played to back in the day. I was never a fan. It wasn’t his politics. I just didn’t care for his music. But art is subjective.

Same. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Yup. This guy was born dumb. Too dumb to read the Constitution where it states America is a Republican form of government. Nowhere is the word ”Democrat” nor “democracy” used. Then again, most Americans who use those words are just as dumb.

He looks like he came out of a blow mold extrusion machine.
