“The government gives them African Americans the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God, and she is supreme.”

Jeremiah Wright

Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s pastor, made this prescient statement in 2003 when George W. Bush was president.

It was righteous for God’s prophet to exclaim “God damn America” during George W. Bush’s presidency, for his tax cuts that benefited the wealthy, his ineffectual response to Hurricane Katrine, his anti-abortion stance, his opposition to same-sex marriage and for his general ineptitude.

How much more righteous is it for us to shout “God damn America” during Donald Trump’s regime; he is a sociopath authoritarian despot who makes Bush look like Abraham Lincoln.

MAGA cultists are freaking out after photos emerged online showing Bad Bunny sitting during the singing of “God Bless America” at a New York Yankees game. In this fascist Trump era sitting during the singing of “God Bless America” is the patriotic and democratic thing to do.

God bless America? No, God damn America! God damn America for supporting the genocidal state of Israel! God damn America for treating undocumented people like they are less than human! God damn America for vilifying the LGBTQ community! God damn America for acting like she’s God, and she can impose her will on the rest of the world.

God Bless Bad Bunny for not standing up for “God Bless America”! God Bless Americans who are fighting back against Donald Trump’s fascist regime.
