They definitely tend to lean left, as all my friends in that scene do. But there are more and more punks on forums spouting pro-Trump rhetoric, and it's fans of "mainstream" bands, not the Nazi stuff.

Jon Lyden (Johnny Rotton of the Sex Pistols) was photographed wearing a MAGA shirt and has said he'll vote for him. Duane Peters of U.S. Bombs is making skateboard decks with Trump on it. Glenn Danzig supported the travel ban.

It sucks.
