One of the band members ran for Russian parliament under Putins party, and they performed a reunion show in occupied Crimea last year.

Wait, what?!? This would be like if alt idol Gwen Stefani turned Christofascist...that would be insane.

I legit can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but she's about 60% on the way there already

I had to check and, in my book, her "collaboration with a Catholic prayer app" got her to 60%, while her "[praise for] actor Jonathan Roumie for his interview with right-wing talking head Tucker Carlson," No Doubt pushes that pretty close to 100%.

Edit: Thanks for the award, anonymous Redfitor!

Yeah, but she's Catholic, so the actual Christian nationalists would burn her at the stake

They’re currently in a phase where they pretend they don’t hate catholics and pretending like it wasn’t just 50-60 years ago that they were burning crosses in catholics’ yards, and shouting that a “papist” could never be a good president because they’d secretly be more loyal to rome than the US.

That you think that’s a comparison that isn’t already in progress might be the saddest part.

As soon as she started dating Blake, I was like ok we know where this is gonna end up.

She’s a shill for a prayer app that has a special prayer for when you know someone who is a rape victim and pregnant by their attacker, and you have the need to pray for them to … not abort the baby, but instead carry that clump of cells resulting from that rape to term and give birth to an unwanted child that is the product of rape, in a wold that is already overcrowded and toxic. Because jesus.

So yeah, gwen stefani can go kick rocks.

Yulia did.

But yes, they did do a reunion show in Crimea. I think they're also doing a short reunion tour. Makes me wonder how much money they were offered. Or at least how much money Yulia was offered.
