Green Day used to be anti-establishment, now they are the establishment.

American Idiot is almost 20 years old and the message hasn't changed. Do these people just have zero media literacy?

Media literacy has never been a thing with conservatives - to this day they don't understand what the Bruce Springsteen song 'Born In The USA' is really about. Reagan famously wanted to use it for his campaign in 1984.

Also somehow conservatives have been so keen on appearing as 'not the establishment' that by now they have terminally deluded themselves into believing that they really aren't part of the establishment. How their voters believe this is anyone's guess.

And let's not talk about how the self-proclaimed defenders of free speech constantly take issue with speech they don't like.
