    he also pissed off racist by saying "diversity is our strength". anyone shocked by this needs a reality check. He is like the most bog standard white man. average opinions in everyway, like he was made in a lab. there were also plenty of black regular people with bad taste saying they liked the song too. the only people who thought this was some far right manifesto were people who were already obsessed with trying to center their idea of the white working class as far right racist hicks. too be clear i do think hes racist but like average white man i have to interact with daily racist. not "nazi" racist.

      There are no moderates in the US there are libs, fash, a few leftists, and the people that we call moderates that are just an incoherent mess of ideas that you can’t pin down.

      There’s a guy at my work that’s a republican but he loves everything that Biden is doing but also thinks trumps covid policy was great. He thinks unions are great and is onboard to help organize but he also believes “anyone can get rich” and they’re keeping the truth of this (which to him is increasing your credit score, making an llc and using your credit to siphon money into it) because of racism
