If he is from that section of virgins, he had a front row seat to the failures of our government, and prioritizing money over lives that happened in the early days of the opioid epidemic. The song makes a lot more sense now.

If validation of feelings is your point, then DCUM must be filled with authoritarians.

Except Bruce Springsteen is a talented songwriter. This guy is just regurgitating talking points. There's no characters, no narrative. It's boring.

You must be looking for a novel, not a song.
Millions disagree with you. Millions.

This is a really weird take. You guys care about majority rule now? Millions more people voted for Hillary than Trump— millions. He was still the present. Millions more voted for Biden— the January 6 thugs still arrived. Now it’s supposed to be meaningful that millions of people like a song about how people with every opportunity are such victims?

You are an idiot.
Nice attempt at whataboutism.

You think he had "every opportunity?" You know his grandfather is from Appalachia? He doesn't come from "privilege."

Yes he has had every opportunity. He had a fully funded public education to 12th grade. He lives in a state with an excellent community college system. He has had the time and opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument so he obviously wasn’t working to keep food on the table for his family. His problems, by his own admission, are of his own making. This isn’t a victim.

Yes and no. The current public school education system is designed to create factory workers, not leaders. How many of our politicians are community college graduates?

And this board routinely mocks community colleges. They even mock UVA!

He's also from the poorest town in Virginia. https://www.thecentersquare.com/virginia/article_5617dba6-dcb0-11ea-b2ed-1f8ad0db8583.html

I agree he isn't a victim, but then, very few people are. By most definitions, though, he's had much more of an uphill climb than most other people.

Farmville also has a horrible public school system. That "fully funded education" is a joke in Farmville.

I don’t believe the crowd here wants authoritarians to validate their feelings of grievance.

The irony of course is that "DC" is just a mirror reflection of America. If you don't like DC, then that's a result of what's happening in your town government and your state government. And the people YOU send to DC from your home state.

Every person in DC is from another place (aside from the native population who have been here for generations....but they don't really run the federal government).

The average voter thinks Congress is a dysfunctional institution, and then doesn't think twice about sending the likes of Boebert, Gaetz, MTG, Tuberville, Gosar, etc. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

Mahjoree,
Mahjoree Tayluh Greene.
They call her MTG.
We love to say Em Tee Gee.

That’s what you call a buttaface.
Do they still say that? Buttaface?

That’s what they call a buttaface,
But that’s OK. That’s OK.

Basically the song says:


We are the loser Walmart whites

We still look down on the blacks - hail richmond

We are the loser Walmart whites.

Saved you a listen.

LOL it's constant validation of opinions, beliefs, and ideas often shared in a very authoritarian, only one point of view is acceptable way.

Second verse:

We don't like paying taxes

Even thought we mostly don't owe any

Government welfare is for lazy people

Except when we need it

Immigration is the biggest problem in the country

How come they can't find anyone to work at McDonalds?

I need a better job

But I forgot I'm stupid and racist.

Neither of you have really listened to the song or understand the struggles of the working man.
Stay in your bubble. That will serve you well.

He’s from Goochland but lives in Farmville. Check real estate in Goochland. They don’t exactly have terrible schools in Goochland but they also have Benedictine and St Gertrude’s.
Benedictine is where Steve Bannon went to high school. They moved to a new campus.

From what I have read, he was born and raised in Farmville.

Born and raised in the charming town of Farmville, Virginia, Oliver Anthony has always been deeply rooted in his love for music
