Even when you’re furiously insisting that Donald Trump isn’t your president, the chants can get uninspired. The hard miles tick by, confrontations with police come and go, and you’re left with the same four or five options. Luckily, anti-Trump protesters here and around the country have had some help. It starts as a low growl down the block, ascending slightly, dropping, then climbing again. And as it grows louder, you realize: It’s a bass line, it’s pounding out of every car or truck that passes, and it’s bringing with it the simplest and purest truth any of us can currently contemplate: “Fuck Donald Trump.” Los Angeles-area emcees YG and Nipsey Hussle released this catchy track months ago, back when we all still underestimated Trump’s appeal. Now he’s about to be the president, and “Fuck Donald Trump” has become the new Star-Spangled Banner. YG brings his Fuck Donald Trump Tour to town tonight. Enough said. DIRK VANDERHART
