Not really a surprise. He’s an odd person, but he does understand the world better than most people.

Some of the ramones and the misfits were fairly right wing too.

‘Ya’ know you’re in trouble if you’ve lost the punk rockers.

I can’t believe he’s not following Taylor Swift in voting.

I showed my wife his picture. Back in the very early 80s She was more into the Boston punk scene than I.

She said she thought he was dead.

I barely knew who he was. But every vote counts.

This actually makes me giddy. I’ve been involved in the punk rock/new wave/alt scene since my oldest brother (who I worship, practically) brought home the Pistols and Ramones’ albums when he was in college. So I’ve been into punk/new wave since its inception (’77).

It’s no wonder that Johnny Rotten (as well as a few of the Ramones, Mo Tucker from the Velvets, etc.) are right wing. They are free thinkers. They refuse to follow the herd (because the herd gets eaten.)

“Yes, of course I’m voting for Trump,” Lydon said with clarity later in the interview “... I don’t want a politician running this world anymore.”

Welcome... to the world.

The Punks including Johnny Rotten were always anti-Establishment. So is Trump and the entire movement behind him as was the Tea Party before that.

The Media, the Bureaucracy, Acadamia, Big Tech, Hollywood, Wall Street, the Uber Rich billionaires, and the Democrat Party are clearly the Establishment.

Well, they did have an anti-abortion “song” back in the day...

“Bodies”

She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was case of insanity
Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree

She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace

Body! I’m not an animal
Body! I’m not an animal

Dragged on a table in factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby screaming
Body screaming f***ing bloody mess
Not an animal
It’s an abortion

Body! I’m not animal
Mummy! I’m not an abortion

[Spoken]
Throbbing squirm,
gurgling bloody mess
I’m not a discharge
I’m not a loss in protein
I’m not a throbbing squirm

F*** this and f*** that
F*** it all and f*** a f***ing brat
She don’t wanna baby that looks like that
I don’t wanna baby that looks like that
Body, I’m not an animal
Body, an abortion

Body! I’m not an animal
Body! I’m not an animal
An animal
I’m not an animal.....
I’m not an abortion.....

Mummy! UGH!

In response to JOHNNY ROTTEN’s announcement, the DIMocRATS Party announced that OTIS REDDING, JOHN LENNON, JIM MORRISON & NOTORIOUS BIG were voting “the straight DIMocRAT ticket”.

Yours, TMN78247

Wow there are so many falsehoods in just that first sentence, not sure the rest of the article can be believed. The Sex Pistols ceased over 40 years ago, his band since then is Public Image Ltd. And he stopped being Johnny Rotten not long after the Pistols ended. He’s John Lydon.

I suppose “This is not a Love Song” to Biden’s ears! Hehehe.

On the topic of punkers & ex-punkers leaning right, Greg Gutfeld has uncovered a ton of these folks over the years, first on his “Red Eye” show & now in his podcasts. There are likely as many mainstream entertainers that feel this way, they’re just afraid to open up about it for fear of their careers. That’s part of what makes the punkers what they are, not giving a **** what their critics think!
