Election Blues? Protest songs and releases by activists and musicians against fascists
By Lynda Carson - November 20, 2024
For those of you who are freaking out, depressed, have the blues, and feel absolutely terrified by the madness of what has been happening lately in our country, see a few links of some releases further below by some musicians, poets, and activists to help keep your spirits up.
The hate, chaos, violence and the mayhem being promoted by the fascist billionaires and their crazy myrmidons taking control of the federal government of this great nation, who scheme to rape, pillage and plunder the federal government, and all of its federal domestic programs assisting tens of millions of Americans, is a catastrophe in the making.
The madness, chaos, and mayhem will eventually result in the deaths of tens of millions of people, destruction of millions of jobs, and families, and will cause tens of millions of people to become homeless or unhoused because of the fascists, and fascism spreading all across the nation. Our country is in dire straits.
Before the fascists take total control of this country, and send military troops, and vicious right-wing neo-Nazi goon squads into the streets to harass, and round up the masses who may be accused of being the "enemy within," for those who may be interested, see a few links below of some releases by some musicians, poets, and activists to help keep your spirits up....
Enjoy....
