I love that you said this because I was watching all these memes fly around and I was feeling very confused.

And I am all too familiar with the single mom scenario. I have a great job but I had to cut it down to part-time because the health insurance plans I was offered to cover my daughter and I would have broke me.

I still think Oliver Anthony is, if not a closeted MAGA Chud, somebody who thinks similarly scrambling to say "Some of My Best Friends Eat Fudge Rounds!", so he doesn't get snowed under in a wave of constructive criticism (and lower royalties and sales!) like on like Jason Aldean did.

My kid brother sounds a lot like him—"I'm not a Republican any more! I agree Trump's an asshole and a con man!" But that sure doesn't stop him from mocking my ex-wife's niece for her feminism, making homophobic "jokes" despite being bisexual himself, and having lost his last job because he was making jokes about "Messicans"...in the hearing of his Hispanic foreman. 🤦‍♂️
