In 2012, on KIRO-FM he was asked if he supports gay marriage and replied: “Well, since I’m not gay, the answer to that would be no.” He was then asked if he would support legislation to make gay marriage legal and said, “I’m Christian. The answer to that would be no.”
In 2009, Mustaine was interviewed by far-right conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones for InfoWars, in which Mustaine stated that the album Endgame was inspired by his Christian beliefs and belief in an upcoming New World Order.
In addition, Mustaine disapproved of president Barack Obama, calling him “the most divisive president we’ve ever had” in and commenting that he believed that Obama was born outside of the United States during a March 2012 interview on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.
While touring Singapore in 2012, Mustaine claimed onstage that Obama had staged the shootings in Aurora, Colorado, and a Wisconsin Sikh temple in order to push a gun control agenda, which received backlash from Aurora survivors.
It’s the most honest. Conservative voters’ opinions on gay and trans people boil down to them thinking it’s icky, and also not giving a flying fuck about anything that doesn’t affect them personally.
It’s so weird because End Game is pretty explicitly anti-Bush, anti-surveillance, and anti-authoritarian.
“The ex-president signed a secret bill
that could land a legal US citizen in jail.
And the Patriot Act stripped away our constitutional rights. They say the concentration camps just popped up, yeah right”
Like, yeah the qualifier of “legal US citizen” is sus, but other than that it’s pretty based. In 2012 when it came out, “ex-president” was very clearly Bush, not Obama.
It’s such a shame how Trump and the Tea Parties managed to brainwash libertarians into being fascists.

Fuck Dave
“Since I’m not gay the answer would be no”
That’s gotta be one of the most braindead arguments against gay marriage one could possibly construct.

This is Dave after all
Well, since I’m not gay, that’s gonna be a no from me dawg.
But seriously, fuck Dave. And Junior.
Mustaine must have been smoking the good stuff, it is highly implausible that Obama was born in March 2012 given that he became president in 2008.

Dave strikes me as someone that’s anti-authoritarian unless he’s the authority.
You can see how Dave, Lars, and James would have been besties when they were teens.
