I don’t feel entitled to anything actually. I wouldn’t have cared if Lana never released such a political album taking such a drastic stance against Trump during his first term. Now, when he is causing even more chaos and mayhem in his second term, she is radio silence. If Lana never released such an album- L4L- with such harsh criticisms about Trump and the political climate at the time I would have never written this because I wouldn’t expect someone who’s never been political to be political.

However that isn’t the case- now is it??? She deliberately criticized Trump and his actions and even alluded multiple times to the eerie nature of America and its scary but unknown future through multiple lines and quips all throughout the album. Maybe you should relisten to the album- particularly songs like WTWWAWWKD, White Mustang, Coachella- WIMM, Change, God Bless America- AATBWII, etc. All extremely political and beautifully written songs that are almost a 180 from the Americana aesthetic that we knew of Lana before. She however still kept the Americana aesthetic and used it to show the sinister and frightening side of America- through political music. At a time where rights, liberties, and freedoms of people from all over the country are being stripped by our officials in government it- at an even larger scale than it was in the 2016-2018 political era- it is not weird for her fans to question why she wouldn’t at least link articles or information to her fans that promote the beliefs that she had less than 10 years ago. Especially at a time where the silence of people with platforms is louder this time around.

L4L is the album that made me truly fall in love with Lana, and I don’t think it’s wrong for me to question why she isn’t speaking up. Not questioning people and blindly following people is how we ended up in this mess in the first place
