Hows The View From The Fence?

I have pondered this for awhile and want to let it breath.....does the band appear more silent to you in these times of authoritarianism? I was born in 19** I came into political consciousness under Bush Jr. Back then it seems, Eddie was far more outspoken. Every concert it seemed he was throwing shade at that admin. Wether is was to Bush or Cheney. Granted I was listening to bootlegs of that era a lot more and have not done so in this era under the Orange Man...and yes he's thrown in quite a few references in a lot of their material and I see the occasional bits of him siding with Bruce...but it feels different now. We are in far more dangerous times than under W arguably. I know the band continues to work behind the scenes for causes they believe in....but I am the only one that feels like they are not being as vocal about America's slow decay into fascism? I want to be wrong...but it feels like even they know how bad it has and will continue to get. In this age of unlimited access to what money goes where and to what cause...where can they place themselves?
