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.”

“half-Jew”? How does that work?
I saw Twisted Sister at the Gemini II in Yorktown, NY. They sucked then and Dee Snyder continues to suck.
That's half-assed half-Jew to you buddy...
I might have to pass now though because don’t want to give him air time although words speak to me about these times when I hear them regardless of why he wrote it or who HE thinks it speaks to- (and isn’t that point of ‘art’?) Guess I’ll just continue to play Aaron Lewis ‘Am I the only One’ and John Rich ‘Progress’ in a loop. Gives me some moments of hope- so does reading the YouTube comments I see for these 2 songs.
Democrats are nothing if not hypocrites.
At least they are persistent and predictable in their hypocrisy. I guess that’s something.
Based on this example (N=1) very poorly.
Not a big fan of this group and no interest in their opinions on anything not related to music.
In a 2015 interview with TMZ, Snider pivoted a conversation about the then-upcoming 2016 election and said why he was okay with President Donald Trump using the song in his election campaign. “Donald Trump is a good friend and a great guy, and I support him turning the political system on its head.
The song ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ is a song about rebellion, and there’s nothing more rebellious than what Donald Trump is doing right now. Although, Bernie Sanders could use it as well. He’s turning things upside down as well,” he said.

When I want political advice I always look to what 67 year old has been musicians that dress up like women have to say.......doesn’t everyone?
He went from: “We’re not gonna take it!” to “Please, sir, may I have another?” What a tool.
People who claim to be libertarian but then politically hang out with those who are so far to the Left that there’s nothing of the old extreme Left that’s extreme to them anymore are not libertarians.
Cheech and Chong’s Ear Ache my Eye adequately describes what Mr Twister was once all about ... money, girls, owning stuff with no more than outrageous attire proverbial 3 chords.

MAGAT ?
Cute..
Toss in “reverence for the Father and His only begotten Son” and you’ve got all the Left despises.
You would’ve thought that Trump would be in line with Dee Snider’s line of thinking. Free speech, anti-establishment, pro-American worker...guess that’s great if you’re a Dem, but not for a Republican.
Tipper could have been First Lady
2000 EV
Bush 271 Gore 266
TN 11 EV
Had Gore won his home state:
Gore 277 Bush 260
Wiki:”Tennessee was won by Governor George W. Bush by a 3.87% margin of victory, despite having voted for President Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996 and being the home state of Vice President Al Gore. If Gore had carried his home state, he, instead of Bush, would have been elected president.”
Sister Tipper tried to ban all rock and roll, introduce “warning labels.”
They need a warning label on Algore, the Human Tree. And I don’t mean Groot.
I guess Dee and the other libtards are not gonna take (making america great again) anymore. Brilliant!! We know who the fascists are.
> What is a half Jew?
They botched the circumcision. That’s why he’s so full of rage. See “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”
Funny. I thought he wrote that song to rip off one of the big closing numbers in “Tommy” and to pretend that Twister Sister was in the same league with The Who. I’ve always wondered why Townshend didn’t sue for plagiarism.
