It's a business enterprise. The DCs can say whatever they want. The same freedom applies to those who listen to them or choose to make a stink about not listening to them.
More power to the DCs for saying what they want. More power to their former fans for vocal opposition to their political positions and no longer purchasing their music.
Personally, I don't care either way. I don't think this signifies, however, a new generation of politics anymore than popular country music with religious overtones signals some sort of Christian revival.

Besides that- The "other side" still offers nothing to vote for.
