Grace&#8217;s performance \u200bfeatured a song titled &#8220;Your God (God&#8217;s D***),&#8221; which \u2062is described as vulgar and offensive, especially to followers of Christianity due to its \u2063explicit sexual references and blasphemous content. The author expresses outrage over the song&#8217;s lyrics, which speculate on God&#8217;s anatomy and incorporate graphic\u200d sexual commentary. The performance has sparked backlash,especially among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberal-modernity-and-its-discontents\/\" title=\"Liberal Modernity and Its Discontents\">conservative circles<\/a>,with calls for\u200d accountability from Sanders and criticism of what\u2063 is deemed \u200dan attack on Christian\u200d values. The article reflects on the double standards in societal reactions to religious criticisms, hinting at how similar performances targeting other \u2063religions might be treated. the \u2062piece critiques \u200bthe intersection of art, politics, and morality in contemporary discourse.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>How bad was the transgender singer at a rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders, morally speaking? Let&rsquo;s put it this way: There aren&rsquo;t enough asterisks for us to print the lyrics to the song he performed.<\/p>\n<p>Laura Jane Grace is the&nbsp;<em>nom du transition<\/em> of Tom Gabel, best known &mdash; to the extent he was known at all &mdash; as the founder of acoustic punk band Against Me! (exclamation point their stylization). As I found their music to be against any conventional notions of talent or taste!, I had lost track of what they were up to long ago.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it turns out the former Gabel is still making waves, just not for good songwriting.<\/p>\n<p>Gabel joined a non-musician on tour: namely, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, who &mdash; despite the fact that he&rsquo;s not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bernie-sanders-raises-eyebrows-pausing-spending-devastating-primary-defeats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">running for president<\/a> or will ever face serious electoral opposition in his home state of Vermont &mdash; is barnstorming America on his &ldquo;Fighting Oligarchy&rdquo; tour, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpr.org\/news\/bernie-sanders-capacity-kenosha-uw-parkside-wisconsin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wisconsin Public Radio<\/a>, arriving at University of Wisconsin-Parkside on Friday to a capacity crowd of 3,500<\/p>\n<p>And how do you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-accuses-democrats-of-rigging-nomination-for-harris-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"GOP accuses Democrats of &#039;rigging&#039; nomination for Harris - Washington Examiner\">fight oligarchy<\/a>?

First, Gabel speculates on the dimensions of god&rsquo;s genitalia. (We will use the lower-case G here, since the blasphemy is so great that it&rsquo;s clearly not addressing any good deity, and certainly not the one in the Good Book.)<\/p>\n<p>The song then goes on to speculate what procreative material god&rsquo;s genitalia might emanate, with Grace saying it feels like he&rsquo;s making love to him.<\/p>\n<p>It then goes on to speculate on what god&rsquo;s kinks are and whether he&rsquo;s monogamous. (&ldquo;I know creation must get lonely \/ After all he&rsquo;s one and only&rdquo; is one of the only lyrics we can print here.)<\/p>\n<p>The song then goes on to make a terrible, gross sexual pun about the crucifixion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-tyson-fury-thanks-jesus-christ-fantastic-fight-oleksandr-usyk-says-actually-beat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jesus Christ<\/a> and then just degenerates (somehow, from there) into a random mess of vulgarisms about sex.<\/p>\n<p>The performance managed to go viral (probably in the literal sense, too, given the singer), and, as conservative activist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/notoriously-woke-target-announces-dei-rollback-just-days-trumps-inauguration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robby Starbuck<\/a> noted, &ldquo;[I]t&rsquo;s somehow more evil than it sounds.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The song specifically attacks Christianity with mentions of Easter and God&rsquo;s son,&rdquo; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Pure evil is what the Democrats stand for now. Make no mistake, this is a war of good vs. evil.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>We will not post the video, although a link to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/another-one-bites-dust-car-giant-ditches-dei-robby-starbuck-notches-another-win-normalcy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starbuck&rsquo;s<\/a> X post about it is <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/robbystarbuck\/status\/1898903558872829972\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. <strong>(<em>Be<\/em><em>  forewarned, it contains very graphic language and descriptions of sexual activity that will offend some readers. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DG8VEUcOsCL\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, Gabel called the whole thing an honor: &ldquo;Thank you for having me in Kenosha last night @sensanders I have so much respect for everything you&rsquo;re trying to do right now.&rdquo; I imagine, yes.<\/p>\n<p>So, too, did others: &ldquo;i love being on this side on things,&rdquo; one respondent wrote. &ldquo;Hell yeah,&rdquo; said another, singer Dave Hause, who was probably more correct than he actually knew.<\/p>\n<p>And this somehow turned itself into a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/one-final-republicans-pounce-before-election-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republicans Pounce!<\/a>&rdquo; story when it was reported by the media: &ldquo;GOP outraged after trans singer has vulgar lyrics at Bernie Sanders rally: &lsquo;just sick,&#8217;&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/cbsaustin.com\/news\/nation-world\/gop-outraged-after-trans-singer-performs-vulgar-lyrics-at-bernie-sanders-rally-just-sick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The National News Desk&rsquo;s<\/a> take on the disgrace was headlined. (The &ldquo;just sick&rdquo; comment was from former Texas state Rep. Dwayne Bohac.)<\/p>\n<p>However, the most telling line in the article was this: &ldquo;Neither Grace&rsquo;s management nor Sen. Sanders&rsquo;s officer responded to a request for comment from The National News Desk Monday about the performance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Of course not. But then: &ldquo;Sen. Sanders wrote via X he is confident Americans support his movement.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As noted on X, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bernie-sanders-turns-farcical-meme-howling-rfk-jr-onesies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanders<\/a> was busy pretending it never happened.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The American people will not allow us to become an oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,&rdquo; Sanders <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BernieSanders\/status\/1899148120413344193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, one hopes that America won&rsquo;t allow itself to be turned into a country where its &ldquo;resistance&rdquo; to authoritarianism takes the form of woke, demonic Christian-baiting. And, while one hates the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">tired role-reversal thought exercise<\/a>, sometimes it&rsquo;s the only thing that will fit: Imagine this song being sung at a political rally, except targeting any other major active monotheism or polytheism &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/british-offer-citizen-radical-islamists-execution-burned-quran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">especially&nbsp;<em>one<\/em> very particular monotheism<\/a> that doesn&rsquo;t even need to be mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>If it were any of those, Sanders would be effusively apologizing and calling off the &ldquo;Fighting Oligarchy&rdquo; tour. If it were that&nbsp;<em>particular<\/em> one, he&rsquo;d be under 24-hour protection from a phalanx of Secret Service agents while offering a newer, more grovel-tastic response every hour, on the hour.<\/p>\n<p>But this time? Nothing, except for a few &ldquo;Republicans Pounce!&rdquo; stories.

To put it bluntly, the lyrics of his performance are too explicit to share. Laura Jane Grace, formerly known as Tom Gabel and recognized primarily as the founder of the acoustic punk band Against Me!, has continued to make headlines\u2014not for musical talent but for controversial performances. Recently, he joined Senator Bernie Sanders on his &#8220;Fighting Oligarchy&#8221; tour, which is drawing crowds despite Sanders not running for president. At a recent event at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Grace performed a song titled \u201cYour God (God\u2019s D***),\u201d which is even more offensive than its title suggests.<\/p>\n<p>The song includes graphic speculation about divine anatomy and crude sexual references that target Christianity directly. It has sparked outrage among conservatives who view it as an attack on Christian values. Despite this backlash, Grace expressed gratitude for being part of the event and received support from some attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Media coverage highlighted Republican outrage over the performance; however, neither Grace&#8217;s management nor Sanders&#8217; office commented on it. While Sanders claimed confidence in American support for his movement, one can&#8217;t help but wonder how different reactions would be if similar sentiments were directed toward other religions. In this case, some blasphemies seem to be more tolerated than others<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2412358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Laura-Jane-Grace.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32175,11358,50410,36795,51922],"class_list":["post-2412357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bernie-sanders","tag-blasphemy","tag-controversy-2","tag-political-rally","tag-transgender-singer"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Laura-Jane-Grace.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2412357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2412357"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2412357\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2412366,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2412357\/revisions\/2412366"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2412358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2412357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2412357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2412357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
