Well. That didn't take long.
Well. That didn't take long.
And under the bus he goes.
The distinguishing mark of so-called "conservatives" in the US is not, in fact, conservatism — that is, a desire to cherish and protect the good in their society.
Rather, it is betrayal.
They are not conservatives, but rather traitors — betrayers. They betray their faith, placing Trump ahead of Jesus. They betray their country, placing Putin ahead of Washington. They betray their species, placing oil companies ahead of humanity.
Conservatism can only be redeemed by embracing the actual good of our actual society. You can only conserve that which really exists. That includes the "melting pot" of multiculturalism.
News sites need to start using screenshots of tweets. That article is mostly empty space with some @s in it for me.
I don't wanna judge this guy yet. He could mean well. The song has a great message until it doesn't.
"They want to know what you do and think!"
Yeah fuck the man!
"Fat people on welfare shouldn't be eating fudge!"
...what?
But he seems young, kinda wholesomely uneducated, passionate, and genuinely has a good voice/can play pretty well.
I'm not surprised conservatives latched on.
I'm glad to see he's shaking them off.
The songs ok, but that lyric seems to defeat the purpose. Hopefully his future hits do a better job keeping his message clear and consistent. Hopefully that message is "eat the rich" and not "starve the poor".
All these people know is hate.
They can only support "their own" for so long before they start directing their hate and rage at each other.
Cycles keep spinning.
"We are the melting pot of the world and that's what makes us strong our diversity. And we need to learn to harness that and appreciate it and not use it as a political tool to keep everyone separate from it.”
Conservatives: No, that's exactly the tool we've been talking about.
It's saddening and hurtful that overt racism is accepted and trendy in The United States of America. I genuinely don't understand how the most foundational core component of this country is lost on so many people. The US was founded to escape persecution and oppression (as it persecuted and oppressed the natives and later did the same with "imported labor"). Oh, yeah... I guess hypocrisy and contradiction is right there within the core too.
This article is garbage, here's "thing someone said" + random twitter comments about it. So one, it spreads the toxic original message of hate from rando idiot conservatives toward the idea of diversity and a melting pot. Then two, it makes us liberals broadly associate all conservatives with the hate message from rando twitter accounts. Imo this is garbage "journalism". If prominent conservative thought leaders are commenting about something on twitter it could be newsworthy, but you probably know that it's probably not when they include users such as "TriangleCyclops", "DPZCrypto", "BoxingMD1", etc. Yep those 3-4 tweets must represent literally millions of people's exact thoughts.
Somebody else remembering their School House Rock:
Finally a song that captures our thoughts and perspective and how we really feel!
(the song is complete fucking garbage)
Do beards prevent leopards from eating your face?
Good for him! Fuck the haters
Don't went #1 on Billboard Wtf, song is so mid
