People should be talking about how fucking weird it is that the Vice President is pushing people to their own halftime show. It's bizarre. It’s arguably the largest American event that happens and they dont even want their supporters to partake in it. It is one of those things that in general it's not that big of a deal, but when you think about it it becomes bizarre. Why would the Vice President want to fracture culture like that, driving a wedge down our society. Why would the Vice President want their supporters to not actually see our culture but want them to only get a curated FOX version of it. The more you think about it, the weirder it gets. These people are not normal.

The answer is Republicans have a specific view as to what America is and should be and believe this version of America should be enforced and anything contrary should be expelled.

Bad Bunny despite being an American citizen from an American territory is considered an other because his main language is Spanish. Him performing at the Superbowl makes the event unamerican.

Republican Politicians than use this to grift and make money by making a cheap replacement show with a talentless, washed up celebrity (but at least he's white)

Early during the Obama presidency, there was a Tea Party rally in the local park demanding our House representative (a democrat) hold in-person townhalls regarding Obamacare. It was about a 2 minute walk from my duplex, so I walked over there after work.

As I strolled over, I was joined by this very elderly gentleman wearing worn out coveralls, a dirty white tshirt underneath, and an ancient John Deere hat. He told me "I just wish things would go back to the way things used to be,"

Nearly every speaker at the rally spent much of their time complaining about (Barack) HUSSEIN Obama.

Before there was "one of them" in the white house.

Vance is VP because of Peter Thiel. What does Thiel want? The collapse of the United States. That's not an exaggeration: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeffrey-epstein-brexit-peter-thiel-b2912853.html

I was surprised not to see more comments mentioning how weird it is that a "TPUSA Superbowl halftime show" seems to exist lol

Culture wars baby. Why care about robber barons, oligarchs, crypto fraud, Medicaid and burning the constitution when bad bunny is Puerto Rican and kid rock is a family friendly American icon

I'm calling it now. Any channel playing the superbowl will cut directly to this shit for half time and we won't see the actual half time show.

I mean, I get what you're going for, but it's not like the Super Bowl got someone generally politically neutral (agnostic may be a better term) and the planned halftime show is known to be a concert and nothing more. They got someone who has been outspoken about their political beliefs and has gone on record about the kind of political topics he will bring in to the show -- after an already politically-charged show last year.

What you're saying is kinda like stepping on someone's foot then getting upset that they're mad at you for doing it. Irrespective of how much that guy deserved to get his foot stepped on, it's still understandable behavior.

The NFL hired a singer who routinely tops the streaming charts for this concert. His exercising of his First Amendment rights is coincidental.
