(submitter’s note: this is about Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page”, which has nothing to do with MAGA or conservatism.)

Seger has also been quoted as saying Obama’s been the best president of his lifetime, so there ya go.
Sick of this “country music = MAGA” attitude. Most of the old guard and a lot more of the alt-country scene are decidedly NOT conservative.
Look I get the frustration and horror at what is happening in the US but god do I also hate folks on the left just giving up on the U.S completely or hoping it falls and not caring how bad it’ll get for everyone, that sort of shit is NOT helping anything or anyone.
Also (not) happy to know that homophobic bullshit is still probably a thing for the Far-Left as it is among the Far-Right, if not as open as the Far-Right.

It’s just being realistic at this point. Not giving up or hoping it fails. The Democrats have proven over and over that they’re not even remotely up to the task of opposing the right wing, AOC nor Omar have the optics to rally enough people, and Bernie threw in the towel. We’re on our own here.
“This song is so fucking gay.”
Ah.
Gay as a pejorative.
Oh! And ‘retard.’
You’re, what, twelve?
“Redneck trucker maga retard anthem”
Um… Wow. I’ve heard this song since about 1975 and never, not once, thought the guy singing was or pretended to be conservative. Rather, he’s complaining about the conservatives’ reaction to people who are different. Always stupid, always the same.
Which doesn’t prevent MAGAts from taking it as an anthem, but it’s certainly not the artist’s intent.

EXACTLY! I think the 2nd verse makes that meaning quite clear:
Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, "Is it woman, is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered so you don't dare make a stand
The guy said ….“This song is so fucking gay. Redneck trucker maga retard anthem”
Which sounds totally contradictory anyway, but if you know literally ONE DAMN THING about who Bob Seger is, the song is obviously autobiographical. It came out in the early 70s and he’d already been performing for a decade or so by that point. My mom grew up in Ann Arbor, MI, around that time, so I’ve heard the history, lol.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
