It doesn't look like they have. I just spent 3 minutes trying to hear some of the music from this band, or at least learn what kind of music it is. Literally the only thing I can find for free is an M&Ms commercial they made. Asking people to pay money to listen to a band they've never heard before is more than a little insane. But so are crypto nuts, so we'll see.

I was reading yesterday about how the vast majority of Americans believed that Jane Fonda, after having been given notes from American POWs in Vietnam, handed those notes to their North Vietnamese captors. It was never true, but pro-war Republicans wanted to discredit a leading anti-war celebrity- so they made up a bullshit story about her and repeated it often enough that everyone believed it.

This was before Fox News and before Ronald Reagan. Republicans have always been like that.

What you're calling "bigoted prejudice" is really just decent people judging you by the content of your character.

The fact that everything is valid when put to a vote is why that stuff can change though, rather than saying "No no no, GOD wants slavery, so you can't just 'vote' it away, that's blasphemy."

If that was true, we wouldn't need a constitution. The current popularly elected government would be right about everything.

And in the US, nobody "voted away" slavery. There was a big war about it. It was a whole chapter in your high school social studies textbook.
