The prime thrust of the song is a dogwhistle about the confederacy
It's a populist song it's got fuck all to do with race. Try thinking for yourself and stop being an apologist for corporatism. What you don't like is the populism because you like being lap dog to corporations so you try to conflate anything populist with racism because you saw someone else do it and you are a follower.
I didn't say race. I said Confederacy. The lyrics continuously dogwhistle about the mason dixon line and the union / confederacy divide.
Can it really be populist and anti-corporate if it repeats talking points from Raegan? And if it was almost certainly funded and put in front of us by a think tank?
The song is racist and so are you. Populism is corporate you fucking idiot.
