Former Punk Rock Singer Ditches Democrats: I ‘Fell’ For ‘Their Lies’
Daily Fetched ^ | April 26, 2024 | Jason Walsh

Former Runaways front-woman Cheri Currie has denounced the Democrat Party in a lengthy rant on X, admitting she had fallen for their “lies.”

Best known as the lead vocalist for the 1970s teenage punk band, Currie embodied the anti-establishment mentality of that era, and had voted Democrat, until now.

Currie told her followers:

“It used to be PUNK, R&R to vote Democrat. I fell for it.”

Currie, who had previously advocated for the wearing of face masks in 2020, seems to have woken up to the reality that freedoms are being ripped away from Americans on a daily basis.

Curries continued:

“But when your party demands you live in fear, [squalor], beyond your means by just buying groceries, gasoline, disrespecting our veterans, our police, our elderly, supporting CRIMINALS, chaos, riots, Hamas, FAILING Israel, demeaning us at every turn!”

Currie then doubled down, writing:

“HURTING our CHILDREN! Wasting OUR MONEY. Ineptitude with every policy! Lies and more lies.. NO MORE! The Democrat Party can KISS MY A**. They don’t give a damn. That’s true.”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that things have become much worse for the average American since Joe Biden took office.

Currie’s rant is reflective of what most Americans are feeling.

She concluded:

“Voting Dem used to be cool. But now, it just makes you a FOOL.”

Currie’s post received positive responses.

One user commented:

“Punk to me was always anti-government and ‘the man’ democrats were always about more government. That hypocritical dichotomy always bothered me.”

Another wrote:

“Voting D used to mean that you are a free spirit. Now Democrats are the party of control.”

Supporting leftist ideology used to be “cool” because it was seen as anti-establishment.

However, in 2024, the complete opposite is true. Voting for Democrats makes you a freedom-hating, communist-loving tyrant.

The problem with most who vote Democrat is that they actually like being lied to.

~~~

Yes they do.
I think a large segment of democrats started out so because of a single issue. Abortion being one of the biggest. But once they were in that camp, they had to buy in the rest of the package, out of allegiance.

For example, there are a large number of democrats who are pro-open borders now, even though they didn’t used to be. They bought into it, because why? Be cause republicans are against illegal immigration. They figure illegal immigration is going to help them somehow.

Whenever the members of the View, or the talking heads on the evening news tell them how to think, they just nod their heads. They don’t want the whole truth. They want instruction and validation.

Picture obviously dated as she's now 59

Unless she was 10 when she joined the band, she would have to be in her mid-60's by now.

LOL, yes she’s 64 now, as she was born in 1959. I must have used her date of birth, by the time I got around to posting it. 😋

Trying to understand them is like driving knitting needles into your eyeballs. But yes, their first directive is loyalty to their tribe, where ever that takes them. And it seems they’ve dropped all of what they once considered their core issues since the 60’s and are now full-blown socialists. They don’t see anything they do as being evil because to Democrats and liberals, the only crime is not being one.

The chemist Curie discovered elements Radium, Polonium

No, she had a band called the "Isotopes" and those two were her band members.
