We're VATTICA, an alternative rock band in Los Angeles. We just released a music video for our new song "Criminal", and it is very critical of the Trump Administration.
We think the word ‘Criminal’ really describes this administration perfectly. From the way they ‘won’ the election, to their active and purposeful targeting of the Latinx, BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities, to their enthusiastic and unapologetic support of blatantly racist, sexist and misogynistic rhetoric, to their ravenous erosion of any laws that restrict pollution, they are the epitome of corrupt. They are dangerous and need to all be voted out.
For this video we tried to focus on the fact that this is all really happening now, this isn’t some distant historical event, and that it’s up to all of us to correct the course that these liars and thieves, these fascists, have set our country on.
At first people seemed to be really enjoying it, it was resonating with them; we were receiving a lot of positive feedback and were enjoying engaging with people.
Then, the MAGA crowd found it. Right away, the insults started, but a few of them had points at least worth debating, so we engaged with them too.
Then someone called us a "p***y" and a "f****t".
More Trump Supporters started insulting us and then the people who enjoyed the video started arguing with them in the comments.
What do you think? You can watch our video below!

A week ago we released a music video for our song "Criminal". It is highly critical of the Trump Administration.
At first, people seemed to be responding well to it, and we started commenting back:
So much luvs! :)
Then, the MAGA crowd found the video ::faceplams::
Still, we kept engaging with points we thought were interesting:
This sick burn was pretty funny, actually
Then it started getting ugly
And people started arguing
