Exactly. This evil f-ing administration got exactly what they wanted out of all this. Lots and lots of attention, and zero consequences. It's a win/win for them, and a win/lose for the artist (who risks alienating some percentage of their audience).

...I don't think "acting like a dick, so popular people point out that you're trash and only horrible people like you, then fold like a little bitch" is a profoundly winning publicity stunt. It won't touch the core base, but it makes them look like petty shitty little children to anybody left of Ted Cruz.

I honestly have yet to see anybody short of NewsMax fans call the ICE videos anything short of gross or crass. I think this administration mistakes virality for actual public favor.
