Bono believes the Republican Party has been “hijacked” by the Trump administration, but says it doesn't represent conservatives as a whole, whom he wants to welcome back to U2's fanbase. "I think this is the most extraordinary moment. I mean, I think this is the greatest heist in the history of the world: stealing America. And it's not a caper movie—it's real, and it's happening. "I just don't want to put off good people who vote conservative, who vote Republican. Their party has been hijacked; it's an aggressive takeover of the GOP. I want to invite them back. I want them to return. People vote conservative for all kinds of reasons that are totally valid." (via @nytimes) consequence.net/2026/10/bono…
