A big reason people love Lorin “Bassnectar” Ashton is that he is genuine and upfront about how he feels. His latest exchange on Twitter proves just how unfiltered he can get. The spark to the e-fire was Ashton’s brief message this last Saturday: he said “Jesus hates Republicans” while retweeting a message for people to vote. One fan, in particular, was not happy with it:
Ashton’s lack of fucks made sense to all of his longtime fans. For those new to his thoughts, he clarified his stance again a little later:
What I personally won’t tolerate:
Homophobia. Racism. Political corruption. Social Injustice. Bullying or mean behavior. Ignorance or religion or right wing nonsense. Standing up to a bully or shutting someone down who is trying to lie or spread nonsense isn’t mean. It’s powerful— Bassnectar (@bassnectar) August 14, 2018
I don’t think so. I think only a petty drama queen would jump to conclusions. And if I “lost a fan” who disagrees with me then so be it. I ain’t out here trying to get fans what a wack life that would be. If you look @ what I’ve said for 20 years, and still misunderstand then bye https://t.co/OvRYdCTl0K

People are bound to disagree on the style in which Ashton communicates his views, but his consistency and audacity makes for good conversations.
What do you think of this exchange? Tweet us at @GlobaldanceElec.
Except his views aren’t what set people off. It was him bullying the individual that really set people off
Lorin is a fraud who brainwashes his followers. Fuck this pussy he’s washed up.
Hahahha then why are you here
So religion is a joke but gives the basis for his argument as ‘Jesus told him’. Smh.
Anyone selling their tickets bc someone exercised their freedom of speach?
If so, send them my way. Talk about snowflakes lol
Love you Bass, finally someone has the guts to call out these hypochristians who put predjudice and religious freedom before civility and human decency. Love you forever Bass.
Telling people hate bassed on religion is wrong is not hate get outta her with this bull shit title. I’m personally at the same point I’d someone attacks any one I care about or anyone at all because they are different they can go to their fake hell.
