Now it makes sence. I guess it debuted thanks to the drivers license success/hype

Janet Jackson defended her brother who molested children. Worry about that

Taylor openly dated a racist and now racist will be blocking her number one. Go worry about That

The song is resonating now BUT something had to be manipulated behind the scenes for this completely unknown artist to surface in such a big way.

 

Whether it's a calculated industry push, sketchy social media algorithms (hello Elon), or chart manipulations... something is off

Joe Rogan is the biggest podcaster in the world, and the conservative influencers like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro have a lot of power while… the online left as a whole has been essentially dead and rotting with no actual power ever since the right-wing Joe Biden became the Democratic nominee and eventually president.

 

It’s not hard to see why right wing MAGA garbage like this song and “Try That in a Small Town” have caught fire and why there is zero potential for any sort of counter from the left. The initial burst of enthusiasm may have been inorganic and forced, but the song is unfortunately resonating with normies who are being radicalized and moving to the right.

Joe was the worst pick EVER. Republicans will claim 2024 and I’m preparing my passport. All these music pushes are more proof of them trying to flex their power. Media usually always was the Lefts hold but they are even losing that swing.  Sad.

It isn’t racist but many right wing people with racist white supremacist ideology are peddling it. They want Hollywood and music industry to go broke from Being “woke” basically wanting them to shift from left centered as they have been for ever to also being less progressive.

This still is nowhere near as bad as Janet Jackson defending her brother when he was molesting children
