Rich Men North of Richmond

That’s right, the rich “men” up north. The doctors, lawyers, small business owners that employ the working class.

Got it.

The south now has a higher GDP than the north.

Apparently they are taker states, because the red states still take more in taxes than they provide. Someone should look into that if the south now has a higher GDP, people need to be paying more in federal taxes from the south.

Meanwhile, let's look at the #1 streamed rap song this week. And I'm a fan of rap, which is how I instantly knew to do some literary comparison.

Fukumean, by Gunna, is #1. Here's a brief excerpt, which I am forced to make redactions so that it isn't blocked immediately by the filters:

[Verse]
F-- you mean?
Young Gunna Wunna, they workin' my nerves
I'm about to pour up some syrup
F-- this b-- like a perv'
Smack from the back, grab her perm
Ice, the berg, uh, shi--' on all you lil' turds
Can't take that d!ck, wait your turn
In my own lane, we can't merge
Suck with no hands, you can learn
Let's see how much you can earn



This is the top one on SoundCloud right now. Now, imagine if a country singer were to produce something analogous.

I could easily go out and find a rap song glorifying violence or with an anti-government bent. I run listening to rap and can vouch that it's themes are not exactly a monument to progressive values.

When I hear all this anger about country music, I can't help but think that you really just dislike the audience, and the audience makes you afraid, and you need to try to justify it by pretending that song about working class woes is a coded call to arms. It's art. Relax.

Best post in the thread.

While I don't like the lyrics pp quoted above, I don't remember people who want to start a civil war loving this song either. That's the issue. It's not blue collar guys, it's blue collar MAGA guys who think it would be cool to take over the Capitol and start a civil war.

Everyone on this thread is sad.

No, just shaking our heads at how delusional they are. If they are oppressed, it is by their employers and local authorities right there in their communities, but my guess is this guy has a nice house, expensive truck, boat, is a member of a country club or yacht club, just like the rest of the MAGA crybabies needing to imagine some far-off conspiracy to excite their clannish passions because their real lives are so comfortably boring.

You think Oliver belongs to a country club?

People are fools

You can’t hear 4000 people chant sucede and simply dismiss it. Unless you are a fool

Yes you can

Only insane people think secession is a legit possibility.

Lol go for it, Mississippi. We’ll miss your economic power.

Got it.

The south now has a higher GDP than the north.

No, it has a larger GDP than the Northeast. That excludes so much of the Northern economy, and it includes places like Northern Virginia, the very place this guy is singing about. The Rich Men North of Richmond fuel the VA economy.

Local governments impact their life more than Washington.

They should be pissed at their local officials.

Most of the folks getting hard to this song pay little to no federal income tax.

Fair enough, and I'm sure that shift is happening since the north is in atrophy mode while the south grows.

And do the lower income think the wealthy southern cities will take their side?

Newsflash, the southern cities that produce value are mainly blue.

The south now has the largest GDP of any region. In fact, just 5 southern states alone outperform all other regions.

My condolences on the loss of your region's preeminent status.

People did sound the alarm. All of DC knew what was coming. And yet there was no preparation. You can see right here in the DCUM archives that we all knew it.

I was here for those threads and I also worked for Congress. Never in a million years did I expect J6 to be that violent and destructive. Never in a million years did I expect to hear the absolute batsh** insane conspiracies they were yelling over megaphones on the 5th. I had no respect for MAGA but I never thought they would aid in an insurrection. I completely underestimated their brainwashed devotion to TFG and Qanon.

A “hero of the far right” blames his problems on heavyset women (because of course no men are 5’ 3” in the heroic sub-Richmond) on welfare and anyone is supposed to take this seriously? Really OP?

Angry white dude is misogynist, news at 11
