Funny thing is... the artist is unintentionally railing more against the GOP than Democrats.

How an obscure country artist’s viral song became a conservative anthem

Conservatives and far-right pundits are rallying around a new country song from a relatively unknown artist that went viral online after appearing on YouTube last week.

Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” shot to the top of the U.S. Apple Music and iTunes Country charts and racked up more than 9 million views in five days, launching the indie singer — a previously off-the-grid farmer from a small town in Virginia — into the public eye almost overnight.

The song's lyrics, a soulful expression of working-class frustrations while tearing into wealthy Washington elites, have made it an anti-establishment anthem, especially among blue-collar workers.

1. Kind of like...

IQ45 using a song for his rallies that he doesn't really know the meaning of yet he co-opts it making him look ridiculous.

3. What are you trying to say?

The Aldean song got a weeks worth of posts on DU for similar reasons this is in the news...

4. I follow a bunch of acoustic instrument and songwriter sites. Rubes post

Rubes post this guy’s song, Aldean’s crud, videos with confederate flags, etc., to try to get around bans on political posts. I call them out, and surprisingly many threads are shut down.

I’ll take Woody Guthrie, Steve Earle, Dylan, Baez, etc., any day to these losers.

5. To paraphrase:

I know Tyler childers, and you sir are no Tyler Childers.
