Exactly. Don't be complaining about people on social services and then be surprised when your comments are being held up by other bigots.

Exactly! It starts out alright and then just nose dives into a pool of bullshit. He knows exactly what he was trying to say when writing it.

Watch him come out with a song placating to the left with medicare for all and climate change next.

It makes it easy to know which articles I don't need to bother reading

It’s felt that way for a decade

Yeah, it seems a bit strange. At least he's not a grifter (yet). Or, maybe he's just really bad at grifting.

His politics and messaging is inconsistent. He's got Reagan-era tax and welfare talking points mixed in with qanon pedophile conspiracy lines. Then makes a video where it sounds like he thinks he's a centrist. I guess the Overton window really has shifted, lol.

His politics amount to Jews running the world and queers being child molesters so don't expect much in the way of critical thinking.

The disgust makes sense when it's Rage Against the Machine and conservatives but homey apparently hasn't looked at mainstream country in the past 30+ years because it ain't "Folsom Prison Blues" anymore its "I Love America And My Ford Truck (Unless Ford Goes Woke)"

I listened to the song with no knowledge that Republicans were using it as a dog-whistle; I immediately thought it was written about rich conservatives, then I found out the dumbfucks had adopted it as their own.

I can see why he's pissed off.

Why would you expect someone to understand a group of people just because they like a song they made? Art being misinterpreted, or interpreted in a way the artist never intended, is the oldest story in the book. Long story short it's not at all "odd that the singer doesn't understand his fanbase".

Tldr: some no name dude wrote a country song. One of the lyrics shits on welfare recipients. Conservative hogs lose their mind and his song hits top charts. He comes out backpedaling and claiming we all "interpretted the lyrics wrong" and welfare recipients are victims not leeches. Now everyone is confused.
