How the Hell did the other band members put up with him? Joey and Mary's politics leaned to the left of center. He was so upset over Bonzo Goes to Bitburg that they had to bring in Jean Bouvier to play the guitar. And he really lost it when Joey Ramone made a cameo in the Sun City video. They guy was a right wing prick, but, for better or for worse, he WAS the glue that held The Ramones together.

Michael Graves is also a Republican.

because a good, large percentage of self-identifying liberals literally can't handle opinions counter to theirs. I'd say I'm quite liberal myself and I don't understand it either

why do people feel the need to constantly act as if every person who doesnt have the same political views as them are just mad or in denial?

punk as it stands is a pretty liberal genre, and most people associate punk with left leaning ideals
the ramones blow anyway so who cares

Not quite the case to be honest.

In the modern day when left-wing views are the political mainstream, being some kind of socialist/left-liberal ceases to be "punk" in any meaningful way. You're not provoking anything because being a left-winger in most of the west today is one of the absolute safest things you can be.

This sort of thing is why I'm closet republican.

If you work in music or the arts you have to deal with these sorts of people and its better to just go with the flow rather than having to argue with irrational people that can't even coexist with viewpoints they don't agree with.
