It's pretty funny that the expectation on any man who picks up a guitar these days is not that he has a decent voice to go with, it's that his political ideology is "correct" and cohesive and that he makes sure to convey the entire thing in a 4 minute song.
The people getting their knickers in twist over this song are lost.
No one would give a shit if he wasn't doing racist dogwhistles
Why is it always race? I understand the welfare queen myth, but nothing about that song made me reflect on skin color.
Maybe it's just you.
The "welfare queen" myth was always a racist dogwhistle from the jump. This is well documented. The "you're the real racist for noticing racism" bullshit isnt going to fly here.
