I’m glad he and his wife shut the fuck up about music censorship and made being environmentally conscious his thing now, but I still don’t forgive them for it.

i view it as everyone is wrong about shit sometimes. the real problems arise when you're wrong, powerful, and unwilling to be flexible

Yeah. I just have a real big problem with Tipper Gore sending the FBI to wreck up Jello Biafras house in the name of making music that I like illegal and forcing me to listen to whatever the fuck Tipper Gore wants me to listen to. Fuck them both. But hey, if they save the world from climate change maybe I’ll forgive them.

For sure. In that moment Gore was wrong, powerful, and inflexible. He wound up being more flexible than his Republican counterparts, but I think you're well within your rights to say they've never properly repented for those actions. They've mostly just kinda been like "its in the past, just let it be in the past" when it's like... Man, you were an arms dealer in the culture war. You got the power and the platform to combat climate change by harming queer, black, and queer and black kids.

I think it was still too late to avoid the worst of it, but with him as President in 2000 some things would have changed by now for the better, and some things would have been prevented. Or maybe not, alternative history is hard to predict, and maybe GWB was the better choice for the US and the world after all.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe too.

So maybe stop listening to what they say. Start going to the streets and make them listen to us.

Every time I see his name now I think Artificial Intelligence Gore.
