Let me break it down really simple.

1 lives in one of the lowest cost of living states in the country.
The other lives in one of the highest.
They both make the same salary, therefore MTG is much more well off than AOC.
MTG is the only one leaning into this song, wanting you to believe that she is poor, just like you, when in reality, in Tennessee, she is living a life of luxury.

You don't think AOC is living the life of luxury? Be honest with yourself here. Don't argue a point just to argue a point.

Are you guys just screaming the fudge rounds part like Jerry Maguire?

The song is catchy and I like the sound but I am pretty sure it is supposed to be taken totally serious and I can picture it being Andy Samberg SNL parity.

Apparently he has been offered several multi million dollar recording contracts, and has turned them all down. He just wants to be a normal guy it seems. He doesn't want to tour or live that lifestyle.

I'm in the same boat. I played an intermission years ago and the artist told me I should be the one on stage. I told him I'd stick with practicing medicine. LOL

I'd rather sit by a campfire and play over a nice beer or two. My forte is original folk-ish stuff. I like to play everything from Childers to 80s hair metal.

What do you find most nauseating about all of this?

The song is fine. I like it, but it's a bit comical how it's sweeping the nation and has people "blasting" it all over Terra Haute.

The underlying message is great (about taxes and spending) but I can't take it too seriously when he's hitting politicians with silly lyrics about other poor people and fudge rounds rather than something like the military industrial complex. Also, politicians write the laws and the laws most certainly protect minors, so wtf is the actual gripe there? Epstein was arrested. Why are we mad at DC about that rather than...the military industrial complex? You know....things that do the most to actually enrich DC.

It’s harder to find something to rhyme with Military Industrial Complex.

Certainly more so than she ever has in her entire life. Comparatively speaking, no she isn't living a life of luxury. She's comfortable. Luxury is 8, 9 figures, unsusceptable to inflation

To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
