      I just had a bit of a look at Facebook. Something of a mistake. The marching orders have been issued, the talking points are being repeated, the frothing rage is rolling over in a tsunami of apoplexy. This is what MAGA is getting upset about. Not people getting shot by the authorities.

      They can’t all be bots.

      Bad Bunny’s just trying to keep his vibe chill while Trump’s out here throwing tantrums classic distraction tactics, am I right? 😂

      You always know who has high status in an exchange. It isn’t the people bitching.

      One of the most genuinely uplifting half-time shows I have seen in a very long time.

      It’s interesting to learn that Donald watched Bad Bunny’s halftime performance instead of the Turning Point „alternative“ one.

      Funnier to me is that he watched the super bowl halftime rather than the TP one

      It was very political. Just too subtle for MAGA dummies to understand the meaning

      What are you if you’re against love? Bad Bunny’s message was nothing but love and positivity.

      Could you all imagine if Trump posted something positive on social media? We would assume that he’s either had a stroke or that someone had overthrown him to take over his account. That’s how far we’ve shifted as a culture.

      Just like how Obama ignored Trump’s money video when he next spoke.

      Let Trump whine, we know he will, just don’t acknowledge it. Don’t react. He thrives on your reaction to his antics. Classic bully.

      It was clearly apparent that Trump’s post was a pre-written generic hateful screed that was automatically posted (at exactly 9p).

      A message of love and unity is political because that one side is taking every opportunity to politically work against it.

      Of course by doing that he was more politically effective than he would have been if he’d waved a Fuck Trump sign. We’re in the phase where people need a way to put MAGA in the rear view mirror. Doing a straight show while Kid Rock was on the other channel doing whatever sad ass shit he did is perfection.

      You don’t have to be political to make a point in this climate. All you have to do is be an advocate for decency.

    18. Inevitable-Spirit491 on

      I thought it was political in the best way. And the lack on an overt political message has really brought the racists out of their holes…

      Appreciate the sentiment but it was overtly political according to the professor who Bad Bunny consulted in producing the program:

      >Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” 

      >This is why we need to be telling our stories.

      The electrical poles were a reference to how the island keeps struggling with power outages thanks to political mismanagement.

      The flag had light blue, not dark blue, as a political statement.

      The flags of all countries in the American continent parading at the end.

      It was plenty political.

      „We should all be friends and love each other!“

      -Bad Bunny

      „Not on my watch!“

      -DJT

      He didn’t steer clear of politics. The electric polls were a political statement about Puerto Rico’s power grid and infrastructure which the Federal government has turned a blind eye to. Giving a grammy to a boy that looked like Liam Ramos is a political statement. Saying God Bless America as a part of a message of unity among all the American continent nations is a political statement. These are all great political statements and great use of his platform.

      We’re in such a bad place in America that „political statement“ is now only equated only with hate speech. Which encourages the average American to look the other way as the country is being sold for parts by the current administration. The media has a responsibility to fix this messaging.

      A beautiful observation written by NC State Senator Michael Garrett

      I watched Bad Bunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not okay. In the best possible way.

      He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it “disgusting.” Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them.

      And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said “God bless America.”

      And then he started naming them.

      Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, “Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aquí.” My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here.

      The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.”

      I teared up. I’m not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere.

      That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother’s language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read “Together, we are America” into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is.

      And what did the President do? He called it “absolutely terrible.” He said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He called it “a slap in the face to our Country.” The leader of the free world watched a celebration of love, culture, and everything this hemisphere has given to the world, and all he could see was something foreign. Something threatening. Something disgusting.

      Let that sink into your bones.

      The man who is supposed to represent all of us looked at the flags of our neighbors, heard the language of 500 million Americans across this hemisphere, and felt attacked. That’s not strength. That’s not patriotism. That is poverty of the soul.

      And then there was the Turning Point show. Kid Rock in a college arena in North Dakota. Three million viewers watching a man who once wrote a song about liking underage girls perform as the “family-friendly” alternative to a Puerto Rican artist celebrating love. They called it the “All-American Halftime Show”, as if America has a velvet rope. As if this country belongs to some of us and not all of us. As if you need to sing in English to count.

      Here’s what I want to say to everyone who posted about that show tonight, who shared it proudly, who turned away from Bad Bunny’s celebration because it was in Spanish and the flags weren’t only red, white, and blue:

      Your children will see those posts. Your grandchildren will find them. The internet doesn’t forget. And one day, when the history of this moment is written, when our kids and their kids look back at 2026 the way we look back at the people who stood on the wrong side of every bridge and every march and every moment that mattered, they will know exactly where you stood. They will see who chose Kid Rock over a hemisphere of flags. They will see who called love “disgusting.” And they will carry that knowledge the way all of us carry the knowledge of what our ancestors did when they were tested.

      I don’t say that with anger. I say it with sadness. Because hate is an inheritance nobody asks for, and yet it gets passed down just the same.
      Bad Bunny didn’t say “ICE out” tonight. He didn’t need to. He just showed the whole world what America looks like when we are not afraid of each other. When culture is shared, not policed. When language is music, not a threat. When a flag from every nation in this hemisphere can walk across a football field together and the only words you need are the ones he gave us:

      The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

      Over 100 million people saw that tonight.

      And no Truth Social post can take it away.

      I’ve never seen or heard of him before last night, but even with my head in the sand could pick out the dozens of beautiful metaphors.

      Love how he basically showed all the mouth breathers how America is a continent not just the big bully in the northern part.

      Bravo Mr Bunny

      He didn’t steer clear of politics. The message was pretty clearly anti-colonial and pan-american, he started the show in the sugarcane fields that slaves picked from to enrich oligarchs. Observing real history and culture is political at this point.

    32. thesagaconts on

      Not true…he’s Latino and that’s enough for many to make it political. Look at some of the conservative subs.

    33. not_productive1 on

      I saw a tweet from Fox News right after the game that was like “Bad Bunny criticized for Spanish-language show, suspected political message” which has taken “I don’t understand this so I assume it’s somehow an attack on me personally” to heights heretofore undreamed of.

    34. legit-posts_1 on

      I don’t know, when the all the presidents men are evil assholes, the message „don’t be an asshole“ becomes political unfortunately.
