I think this guy has a screw loose. A plain ordinary untalented person who is dining off a short lucky break of fame. Greta Thunberg.

His crap is political. It’s nothing BUT political. And now he says it isn’t? I guess he doesn’t want to wind up having HIS mug shot plastered everywhere.

Interestingly … when I listen to that song, the first politicians who come to mind are Republicans — Mitt Romney and the Bush/Cheney cabal, in particular.

“That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden…That song’s written about the people [Republican candidates] on that stage and a lot more too, not just them, but definitely them.”

And from the article: “Though he’s excited about the song’s global success, the singer added that the people he’s seen responding to the song are ‘not conservative people’…”

This is the guy who did the virtual signaling “diversity is our strength” woke catchphrase in his first TV interview too. Now he’s pretending that a song about government overreach, high taxes, exploitation of minors, abuse of the welfare system, etc. isn’t political and the people responding to it aren’t conservatives. He also said the left attacking him (as a right-winger, white supremacist, fat shaming, poor hating bigot, etc.) just did so “in relatiation” to conservatives identifying with his song, which he’s seems to be baffled by, even though the themes of the song were highly political and in sync with the conservative populist movement, whether he likes that or not.

Conservative crook is an oxymoron. Ryan is a crook, but he is faux conservative.

At the of the day it was a heartfelt song with a message that hits home and should hit home with every freeper. It’s an excellent song and is the part of playlist. If ya don’t like because it doesn’t pass some bizarre purity test for some then screw ya. I like it

Read carefully... he went after both parties, or the uniparty, for their polices that are against the best interests of Americans.

I did read carefully. He definitely seemed more bothered by being celebrated by “conservatives” than being called a fascist by leftists—maybe because he excused the leftists attacking him as only doing it in “retaliation” for conservatives falsely claiming his song.

If you want to read carefully, you will notice he said the song had “nothing” to do with Joe Biden, but “definitely” applied to the Republican candidates, some of whom aren’t even Washington politicians like Biden.

And I didn’t realize “conservatives” is a “party,” much less the “uniparty.” I think a lot of people on our side are seeing what they want to see with this guy.

It’s understandable that he doesn’t like being taken up by politicians and talking heads and turned into a symbol, but if he’s not disgusted by Biden, there is something wrong with him.
