Roger Waters (Ex-Pink Floyd), so steht im “Rolling Stone” zu lesen, kündigte gestern auf facebook umfassenden Widerstand gegen den am gleichen Tag inthronisierten Donald T. an: “The resistance begins today”. Als Ouvertüre publizierte Roger einen Videoausschnitt seiner Anti-Trump-Inszenierung in Mexiko-City.
The video comes from Waters’ late-September concert gigs at Mexico City’s Foro Sol in front of a massive audience that didn’t appreciate Trump calling Mexicans “rapists” or threatening to build a wall. During the song, Waters’ video screens showed artist-made images of Trump toting a machine gun outside the White House, giving the Nazi salute and surrounding himself with KKK members.
Waters also relishes aiming lyrics from the Animals epic like “Bus stop rat bag, haha charade you are” and “You’re nearly a laugh, but you’re really a cry” in the mogul’s direction. “The method for taking over the state and for it becoming a totalitarian police state, is always the same, and it’s always the identification of ‘the other’ as the enemy,” Waters warned. “In Trump’s case, it’s the Chinese, the Mexicans, and Islam – it doesn’t matter who it is. With Hitler, it was the Jews, the Communists, the Gypsies, anybody who had a physical deformity, or whatever it might be, the homosexuals – they were all lumped together.” (Rolling Stone)
