At this point, I have to think that they are just trolling.
"Look at these snowflakes getting offended over a silly video. We only care about important things, like the War On Christmas!"
they use it as a sort of dog whistle. They use music KNOWING the artist won't support it, then further lure in fans of said artists who were leaning right to be full right. "Oh I love Ariana Grande's music, they're using her song in this video? awesome! what? she doesn't support this? screw her I hate Ariana Grande."
That's the entire basis of the MAGA movement, and all fascist movements.
Literally all of their political "beliefs" are simply the same emotional and stupid thoughts they've had since they were school yard bullies. It's all about blaming everyone else for your problems, and killing them for it.
Its the political version of an abusive, 70 IQ point dad beating his wife and kids because he's insecure about his tiny dick, which unironically fits Trump literally.
It says it in the article.
