Jack White doesn't want to leave it alone regarding former President Donald Trump's use of one of his most famous songs.

On Monday, White and Meg White, the duo behind The White Stripes, sued Trump, his campaign, and one of his top campaign officials for using "Seven Nation Army" in a short video posted on X and other social media platforms.

"This machine sues fascists," White wrote on Instagram, screenshotting the top of his complaint, a play on Woody Guthrie's WWII-era message that he emblazoned on his guitar.

I truly don’t understand how right-wingers process the cognitive dissonance, they try to claim all this music and popular culture as their own and as speaking for them, but nearly to an artist, the artists who make it all despise their politics. What the fuck do you think the White Stripes have been saying all this time?
