The name of the song itself is a huuuuuggggge dog whistle, imo. Tells me everything I need to know about the target demographic.

How is that? I'd honestly like to know. It raises my hackles, but i can't really explain why.

"Rich men north of Richmond"... I'm not american, so maybe that's why i don't quite get it

Kinda weird when your song talking shit about politicians contains an explicit reference to the folks you're talking about being north of the capital of the Confederacy.
