So maybe he's right?
Calm down.
Punk is always about being counter culture. If we deem MAGA a culture, we give it credibility. It's not culture, it's hate filled conspiracy mongering. Therefore it is also counter culture.
Edit: perhaps I should label the satire from now on.
Your basic premise is wrong. Punk is not about being counter to mainstream, that was just the appeal for many. Punk is about tearing down hierarchical power structures. And doing that loudly and not by conforming.
Yup, today I have learned what not to make satire about, but you're correct.
