<p>Dropkick Murphys singer Ken Casey isn't a fan of President Donald Trump and he also isn't convinced that Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will be good for the Democratic Party.</p>
<p>"This Magger [MAGA] guy in the audience was waving his f---ing Trump hat in people's faces, and I could just tell he wanted to enter into discourse with me," Casey was quoted as saying in an article in The Atlantic published Thursday.</p>
<p>Casey recently called Trump a "rat and a coward" and excoriated a fan in March for carrying a Trump hat, saying, "They've been holding up a f---ing hat the whole night to represent a president. This is America! There's no kings here!"</p>

<p>To the same fan, he added, "Do you mind, sir? We're gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who like, fought Nazis in the war and s---, so if you could just shut the f--- up for five minutes."</p>
<p>In The Atlantic article, he suggested that he thinks Trump supporters would let the 47th president have his way with their partner.</p>

<p>"They take the fact that we don't support Trump as us being shills for the Democrats," Casey said. "They love to call us cu---, which I find ironic because there's a good portion of MAGA that would probably step aside and let Donald Trump have their way with their significant other if he asked."</p>
<p>But Casey said he is unsure about the ability of popular Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez to lead the party.</p>
<p>"If I think about all the people I know in my life that have shifted over to Trump voters—AOC ain't bringing them back," Casey said. "I actually like her, but it ain't happening."</p>

<p>He admitted the importance of looking past political divides and looking at people for who they are, recalling his practice of speaking to Trump supporters after his shows.</p>
<p>"There was him and his son, and they were the nicest two guys. It made me think, I have to get past the shirt and the hat, because they were almost doing it for a laugh, like it was their form of silent protest. This guy said, 'I've been coming to see you for 20 years. I consider you family, and I don't let politics come between family,'" Casey recalled.</p>
<p>"And I was like, Wow. It was a good lesson," Casey said. "But how many families out there in America have politics come between them, you know?"</p>
<p>Casey said he prefers Democrats like Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore or Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.</p>
<p>"I'm not against going full-on progressive," he said. "But if it's not going to be that, you got to find a centrist. It can't be mush. It's got to be someone who can speak the language of that working-class-male group that they seem to have lost. That's why I love the idea of a veteran, whether it's Wes Moore or Ruben Gallego, or even Adam Kinzinger, who's talking about running as a Democrat."</p>
