You know Arlo, like his father Woody before him, was a Commie, right?
When Woody wrote “This Land Is My Land,” he wasn’t speaking metaphorically.
Actually he is not a communist, though his father was.
“Guthrie identified as a registered Republican in 2008. He endorsed Texas Congressman Ron Paul for the 2008 Republican Party nomination, and said, “I love this guy. Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there. I’m with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes it has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago. I look forward to the day when we can work out the differences we have with the same revolutionary vision and enthusiasm that is our American legacy.”[39] He told The New York Times Magazine that he (had become) a Republican because, “We had enough good Democrats. We needed a few more good Republicans. We needed a loyal opposition.”[40]
Commenting on the 2016 election, Guthrie identified himself as an independent, and said he was “equally suspicious of Democrats as I am of Republicans”. He declined to endorse a candidate, noting that he personally liked Bernie Sanders despite disagreeing with parts of Sanders’ platform. While he thought it “wonderful” that Donald Trump was not relying on campaign donations, he did not believe that it necessarily meant that Trump had the best interests of the country in mind.[41]”
