If he'd only written the first verse, I might believe it.

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.

I don't listen to country: can someone say what he said that's so controversial?

The song is about politicians sucking. There is one part where he trashes people on welfare as well. Overall the song is pretty good with the exception of the welfare comment.

He called out Epstein and now people who vote democrat are mad as hell because if they just work hard enough, maybe next year they might get to go to Epstein's Island 2, electric boogaloo.
