And then they make the point that everyone is trying to move to Tennessee so it can't be bad. Like hey, I left my nice house to move into a roach infested ghetto because I'm so broke I can't afford anything else, but it must not be bad since the less desirable location made it cheaper.

Edit: first relisten in a decade, didn't quite get the lyrics right but the spirit is there

Edit 2: were you asking "what?", or continuing to quote the song? He does say "What?" After each refrain.

The only thing he's kinda wrong about is the culture war being useless.

It's insanely effective at getting assholes to vote for Republicans. It has become some scumbags entire identity

It is useless to any sane person who doesn't want people to fight each other.

I stand by my conviction that the massive far-right propaganda machine that dominates social-media and television viewership is outright mind-control. It works less well on those who are educated, but it works well enough.

And then there's people like my dad, a literal rocket scientist (retired now) who is a FOX News grandpa and a devoted MAGA loyalist. He should know better, but his media diet of fear, rage and culture bullshit is so sweet and tasty!

But you don't understand! Some teacher in a school I've never heard of, in a city I've never been to told one of their students that its "OK" to be transgender. Therefore, I think we should defund the ENTIRE educational system.

I had to add the "/s" because I know idiots that say things exactly like this.

Tennessee could be a southern Vermont/Maine/New Hampshire if not for our political environment. The same chain of mountains that ties us all together and they are spectacular. This is one of the greenest states with amazing natural spaces.

I dont need full on tree hugging collectivism, I want us to respect women, respect individuals, support the impoverished, o wait do the basic things Jesus said to do in the bible.

I know most christians do a mix of cherry-picking and complete fabrication (what portion of christians do you think confuse dante's inferno and paradise loss with the bible?). It'd be nice if they cherry-picked the Mark 10:21

Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him, “You’re still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!”

or the Matthew 25:40-46

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

But mostly they just use it as an excuse to be jerks. It's a big book with ample support for that, but they could choose the nice parts.

I drove through TN yesterday and was blown away with how beautiful it was.
