To be fair, yeah ... it really does. And it's not just limited to conservatives.
My girlfriend and her whole family were listening (and singing along with!) "Pumped Up Kicks" and they were still shocked when I pointed out to them that it's a song about doing a school shooting.
There are a lot of people out there who really do just turn their brains completely off when listening to music.
(I don't know how to do that. Which is probably why I greatly prefer music without lyrics, or music in a foreign language I don't understand.)
