Ok but anyone who isn’t retarded knows the 2020 riots were not worthwhile.
And riots happen in cities where (1) such retarded people live and congregate and (2) retarded people are also in charge

I agree with the message of the song, but the actual song isn’t that good.

While I agree, I have to ask, then: Why do Bostonian Jo Dee Messina and Canadian Shania Twain affect a Southern accent when they sing?
The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and most British and Australian artists sing with an American accent. Adele sings with an American accent. Harry Styles sings with an American accent. Name any British artist and 90 percent of them sing rock and pop with an American accent.

Bad examples as you can hear their accent in a bunch of their songs. Having said that, you're right that Brits and Aussies often "sound" American when singing, but that's typically not on purpose. Some Brits work hard to sound very English (e.g. Lilly Allen), but that's on purpose. Language experts believe this is because the American accent, somewhat ironically, is closer/closest (among native speakers of modern English) to the natural, native accent of the language.
ETA: Although Shania's is somewhat slight, Messina clearly, unambiguously affects a Southern accent in her songs to sound more "authentically" country. Maybe it wasn't always that way, but modern audiences think Southern when they think of country music. Southern artists do dominate country music history.

For "country" music, actual country music, traditional country music, you have A.P. Carter and Alan Lomax to thank before any of those people you just mentioned. You mentioned Johnny Cash, hell he was so influenced by the Carter Family that he married one of them. Their reach and influence is farther and more impactful than probably anyone's living or dead. It was A.P. who made it one of his life missions/goals to preserve the traditional songs of his home and geographical area. Without him, and by extension The Carter Family, "country" music would not have evolved the way it did.
Carter Stanley was named after the Carter Family. He grew up on their kind of music, both playing and singing their style. John Carter Cash, Johnny's son, carries their name. Bob Dylan came to the hills and hollers to pay respects to Carter Stanley and spent the better part of a day trying to find his grave.
Alan Lomax endeavored the same as A.P. Carter to preserve the traditional songs of his time and the past. His field recordings still give inspiration today, from "country" to folk, blues, rock, Americana, R&B.
That's what "country" music is built on, no matter how bastardized what you hear today gets. It still pulls from there. Stapleton's rendition of Tennessee Whiskey is a perfect example. David Allan Coe isn't to thank for that one, not the words, nor the melody.
All that said, there are some good folks out there today still carrying the torch. Some perform the traditional songs, some are completely original, few get the respect and attention they deserve.

I don't care for country music (classic rock for me), but if this song pisses off the left and liberals I am all for it.

Country music died in the early 2000’s baw. Anything after is shite.

Insightful analysis. Looking forward to you starting 2-3 more threads to discuss.
I thought it made it on your boat list for the summer? Did you end up defaulting on your 108 month loan in the past couple days or something?

As far as Jason's song itself, it's very stock and I'd be shocked if it took more than 10 minutes to write. It's over-produced and the only thing that makes it resemble a country song is the singer's poor impression of a country accent

Nobody actually is offended by the song. It’s all fake outrage because someone dared to write a song going against the leftist mob narrative
Of course it’s fake and cheesy but nobody would even know about this song if the left wasn’t crying so hard about it

Must be a good thing then.

One of my favorite Carter Family songs doesn't feature A.P. The song was deemed risqué for discouraging marriage, a raucous suggestion in those days. The two girls performing it were afraid of recording and releasing it, fearing blowback.
