        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They do know something about <strong>&#8220;Toxicity,&#8221;</strong> after all.</p><p>Half of beloved alt-rockers System of a Down — singer Serj Tankian, 52, and drummer John Dolmayan, 46 — are embroiled in an internecine squabble over President Donald Trump&#8217;s handling of the fallout from <strong>George Floyd&#8217;s death in police custody</strong> — which they&#8217;re hashing out over Instagram.</p><p>&#8220;Run Donny run into your bunker,&#8221; <strong>Tankian&#8217;s lengthy post from earlier this week</strong> begins, underneath a picture of protesters near the White House, before continuing, &#8220;You may be the first US President to do so out of fear of your own citizens.&#8221;</p><p>Meanwhile, <strong>Dolmayan posted an image of Trump Wednesday</strong> that featured a tweet of his oft-repeated claim of having &#8220;done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln,&#8221; captioning it, &#8220;Let&#8217;s not let the narrative that&#8217;s being spun make us forget the truth of this statement.&#8221; (<strong>He voiced support</strong> both &#8220;justice for George Floyd&#8221; and the tens of thousands of good-intentioned policemen and women nationwide&#8221; in another post.)</p><p>Though <strong>the band&#8217;s music skewed leftist</strong> in their heyday, It&#8217;s not the first time Tankian and Dolmayan have been at odds politically in public: <strong>They released conflicting statements</strong> about Bernie Sanders&#8217; candidacy in February.</p><p>But the group — who hasn&#8217;t released new music since 2005 — has <strong>rescheduled a slew of tour dates</strong> (with fellow Aughts-era baggy-pants rockers Korn) for 2021, in what could wind up as the nü-metal equivalent of arguing with your relatives over November&#8217;s election.</p>]]></content:encoded>
