Program OF A DOWN drummer John Dolmayan was the showcased visitor on a recent episode of “The Suitable Watch With Lara Trump”, the podcast hosted by former U.S. president Donald Trump‘s daughter-in-law Lara Trump.

Dolmayan, who has been outspoken about his help of Trump and dislike of liberals, admitted that his political sights have been met with some resistance from some of the Method OF A DOWN followers.

“I locate it genuinely tricky to hold my mouth shut when I see injustice,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.Internet). “And I come across what is actually taking place to conservatives to be wholly reverse with justice, totally opposite with knowledge and compassion, wherever we are currently being victimized by persons that should really be there to shield you: news agencies, each and every social media system having one particular assumed course of action Google obtaining a person thought course of action.

“The dilemma I like to elevate to men and women is at the conclude of the day, if the richest and major businesses imagine a person way, should not you at least analysis the other way of thinking? Mainly because there are gonna be items that are in their possess self-desire. Just simply because they have an interesting identify or an purpose you imagine you can get behind and a slogan would not indicate that it can be a fantastic thing. Search into who the people are that they construct these businesses off of and attempt to glance into it a little bit deeper so you achieve a very little bit of perspective and be open up to other people’s opinions.

“Glance, I have done myself no services,” Dolmayan admitted. “I took a lot of flak, I misplaced a great deal of followers, I dropped economical alternatives, and mostly for the reason that I supported Donald Trump as president. ‘Cause he was my president — I voted for him 2 times, and I’m not ashamed to say it. I’d vote for him once more. I will vote for him again if he runs. I hope he does. I hope he does you have my aid. And the explanation why is since I think he is carrying out issues for the proper good reasons.”

After Dolmayan observed that “there are very unique thoughts” within Technique OF A DOWN, notably when it will come to him and singer Serj Tankian (who also comes about to be his brother-in-regulation),Lara Trump asked him what the original response was from his bandmates when he voiced his assistance for Donald Trump.

“I did get information from a couple of my bandmembers and my supervisor and my spouse specifically that was, like, ‘Look, probably it truly is not the greatest strategy to put all these sights out there,'” Dolmayan explained. “And my respond to to them was, I supported my singer in all the things he is at any time mentioned, whilst I failed to constantly agree with everything he’s ever claimed, and I just want the exact same respect again now. I’m not stating that he shouldn’t have a correct to his viewpoints. What I am expressing is there are youngsters in universities, and they are young they are impressionable. And there are kids that feel the way I feel, and they are alone for the most component due to the fact the viewpoint is swayed the other way. Academics are swayed the other way — your educators, the persons all-around you. You happen to be indoctrinated from a pretty young age in this region at this place right now — what we are dealing with right now, today. And who’s speaking for those little ones who are sitting there feeling like they are completely wrong but they can not assist the way they feel? Who are they hunting at and declaring, ‘That human being agrees with me at the very least.’ I may well not attain all of ’em, but if I attain a few of ’em, then that’s plenty of for me. And if that suggests I have to make a small little bit less money, then so be it. My loved ones just isn’t starving we are doing just good. If that suggests I am gonna have fewer options, so be it.

“It can be challenging to choose a stand,” John continued. “Most people are just hoping to gain a dwelling, consider care of their family members, give their young ones a minor little bit of a better life than they experienced, and that is their aim — striving to remain on prime of credit rating card expenditures and their house loan and rent, or whichever it is.

“All I can say is that if more than enough individuals are quiet, really lousy things are inclined to take place, if you appear back at heritage,” he added. “But if ample people today are vocal, quickly it could get bad, but sooner or later it is really usually greater.”

Dolmayan also praised Trump and accused Democrats of “demonizing” the former president and “blaming him for all the things less than the solar.” In addition, John referred to as Democrats “the correct bigots” who “fought to keep slavery” and were being “directly accountable for 70 plus million abortions, a massive the vast majority of whom ended up black.” Dolmayan also supported Trump‘s declare that his administration experienced finished additional for the African-American neighborhood “than any president since Abraham Lincoln.”

In an October 2020 job interview with Forbes, Serj admitted that he observed it “frustrating” to see John so publicly supporting Donald Trump.

“He’s Armenian. He is my brother-in-legislation and my drummer. Is it disheartening remaining politically opposite to your individual drummer and brother-in-regulation? Fuck yeah,” he mentioned. “Of class it is disheartening. But that’s possessing to do with American politics. When it arrives to Armenian challenges, we’re on the similar precise web page.”

Four months earlier, Serj reassured fans that, despite their differing beliefs when it will come to Trump, he each loves and respects John “irrespective of our extremely polarized political commentary.

“Remember irrespective of the stance, only artists that certainly treatment and are impassioned will hazard alienating their foundation for what they take into consideration the fact,” he added. “Our problem and probable fallacy is that we have two in one particular band. Some may possibly contemplate that a weak point but the creative, political and social dichotomy if not quadrichotomy has manufactured Method OF A DOWN what it is today.”

That exact thirty day period, John mentioned about the conversations he has had with the other users of Technique OF A DOWN: “You would be amazed at how civil our discussions are, particularly in between me and Serj, who seem to be to have the most diverging thoughts on factors.

“I have a whole lot of respect for Serj and his thoughts, while I will not agree with them really usually these times. And that’s all right. We develop just about every other’s horizons. I like to imagine that he learns from me and I study from him.”
