but then spend half the song
Once again, hyperfocusing on one line is not ‘half the song’ and when you put it in context, he’s simply saying that those people that need welfare aren’t getting it, while others are abusing the system. It’s not just about making laws to help poor people, it’s about ensuring that it gets to the people that need it.
He says we have a bunch of people starving, and we have programs to help, but instead of helping, he sees the programs being abused.
Do you not think these programs are being abused? Have you been to the south where poverty and obesity are at insane rates?
Also, it’s hilarious how he can touch on 20 issues that every one of us agree with, but the left hyper-focuses on one line they don’t like, because he just looks like a hillbilly trump supporter to y’all.
It’s weird that this song has gotten so much hate from the left. And the critique is always the same line about welfare, but you don’t hear them quote the rest of the words of the song.
First off, right before the welfare line, he mentions there are too many Americans starving, he’s saying that the welfare isn’t being allocated properly. If you’ve walked through the south, you’ve seen this. Trashing the whole concept of the song because one line, that in a vacuum, some people on the right use to discredit welfare shouldn’t be the goal.
I see so many comments saying we need to unite against the rich, and when a song goes viral saying to do that, he gets trashed because he looks like a republican. This song talks about:
Working overtime and getting shitty pay Feeling like the life is being wasted paying bills, and the little bit of joy we get is through substance abuse Politicians enriching themselves by screwing Americans over Inflation being too high and what money that we do get in our paychecks having 30% taken out by the government. Politicians not looking out for the working class, but befriending and partying with Epstein trafficking minors. Young men dying at absurd rates due to suicide
Are these partisan issues? They seem like working class issues. Yeah, that welfare line I think is out of place, even if there may be some merit. But don’t lose the forest staring at a tree. This is a protest song against how the politicians have treated the working class.
What genocide are christians commiting?
Well the author doesn’t say that any of them said that, he’s just assuming some people think like that.
Hahahaha of course the c/politics favorite source for news on Christianity is lgbtqnation.com’s opinion pieces. This is what gets front page on this community?
Yeah, even if people don’t believe fully in the bible, we can believe in many of the core values that Christianity preaches (that almost all of western civilization as we know it is based on).
We can understand that two parent households are better for children and the nation. That small communities helping each other is preferable than the government taking money out of our paychecks so they can determine what’s best for us. That the way towards a more unified people is not government overriding and pushing culture.
Getting to the core of the article, the author doesn’t back up anything that’s said in the title. He references someone who writes for a journal that references someone else referencing someone else that doesn’t like the ‘turn the other cheek’ verse the way the pastor was using it. What a shit article.
One side thinks it’s a flag of white supremacy and evil.
The other thinks it patriotic.
The left has already deemed it a symbol of hate.
“GOP wants you to carry your rapists baby
There’s exceptions for rape, she didn’t use the exception, people can’t force them to have an abortion, even if you’d like to.
then have them shot up going to school”
What? Get off the internet and stop making up fear mongering.
…What? You’re upset that a teacher might tell a child they can wear a skirt if it makes them happy?
Yes, I don’t want teachers having secret meetings with my kids, without my knowledge, telling them to wear skirts. It’s weird, inappropriate and absurdly outside of the teachers realm of usefulness to taxpayers.
Lol, you can legally be fired for being gay in KY, TX, NC, TN, GA and so on
I was actually unaware of is, what law allows this?
You can’t be fired for being Asian
Oh you’re just talking about ‘protected classes’?
That’s a right you have that I don’t.
Can I get fired for being straight?
Yes, kids can be taken from queer and queer supporting families. FL passed a law this year allowing the state to take trans kids away from their parents if they receive the proper
If parents are mutilating kids bodies, I don’t understand how the parents should be able to keep their kids.
You are arguing in bad faith.
No I’m not, just because you have to make up answers doesn’t mean it’s in bad faith.
If your gf was involved in any community work she would have informed you about this.
She’s very involved with the community, we went to my first pow wow and it was 2s themed this summer!
So I am to assume you don’t have a gf or she’s she’s calling herself queer after kissing one girl in hs. Your appeal to authority is irrelevant.
Oh, so we can just deny people their sexual identity now? You’re not queer.
Which teachers have taken kids away?
The government takes kids away from parents if we don’t send them to their re-education institutions
And what’s the context for a teacher telling someone they’ll be happy if they wear skirts?

Where did biden hang up any trump lags or blue lives matter flags??
Me thinking people should pay off loans they’ve taken out makes me a qanoner? I bought a car that had a loan…I paid it off.
That’s how it works.
You calling anyone who doesn’t blindly trust broad loan forgiveness just continues the divide in our country. Why do you just try to insult people that have different opinions than you?
what a…weird insult. How does my statement imply any sort of support for the failure of trickle down policies?
What are you referring to
The government caused the insane bloating of college institutions by offering limitless funds and pushing every kid to go school, now they’re trying to use our tax dollars to put a band aid on their mistakes? Hell no.
How much student debt did you get and what degrees did you get? Any reasonable degree and as long as you didn’t just waste time at college for 10 years on a bachelors, you should be completely fine.
You’re telling me that instead of taking their excess cash from interest payment freezes and paying the principal of the loans, people spent it and spent even more and are still going to complain how they have student loans?
The decision is aimed at better performance on state tests
Fucking good. We’ve constantly spent more than our peer countries on public education, but our quality of education is trash. I don’t know if it’s the bloated admin state, the desire to constantly try to teach new things in various ways then ditching the programs after 2 years, or just overall incompetence, but our education system is incredibly well funded, but doing shitty.
It’s like watching the angels buy the 2 best players in baseball and have a .500 record…except the U.S. school system is playing more like the A’s
Banger of a song. He’s right, we need to talk about these issues:
Working overtime and getting shitty pay
Feeling like the life is being wasted paying bills, and the little bit of joy we get is through substance abuse
Politicians enriching themselves by screwing Americans over
Inflation being too high and what money that we do get in our paychecks having 30% taken out by the government.
Politicians not looking out for the working class, but befriending and partying with Epstein trafficking minors.
Young men dying at absurd rates due to suicide
