In the late 1960s/early 70s, many mainstream artists wrote songs against things like the Vietnam war and racism. In the 1980s there were songs about foreign intervention in South/Central America or the issues facing the black community.

But, besides a few things (like Prophets of Rage), but correct me if I’m wrong, but we don’t really have any major artists calling for action against the way the Trump administration is managing the country, or the increase in racism, sexism and overall bigotry.

Where are the anthems like Fortunate Son, Born in the USA, Unfuck the World or Fight the Power.
