The purpose โฆ the monitor (and the music video, too, it appears) is resonating with of us in a grassroots type of manner โ seeing how he is performing it out within the woods, and in a really stripped-down surroundings. Plus, sure โฆ OA positively has expertise โ a novel sound, certainly.
Now, as for the precise lyrics โฆ they appear to stroll the road between the every-man, working-class American POV and far-right sentiments โ is determined by the way you take a look at it, we suppose.

Several right-wing influencers are praising Oliverโs tune/his ardour, and a few politicians are chiming in as properly with a giant thumbs up โ together with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
As for Oliver, he is overwhelmed by the eye โ saying heโll be performing domestically in the meanwhile. It stays to be seen if โRMNORโ may have the identical chart success Aldean just lately skilled, however based mostly on the groundswell already โฆ it is actually potential.
This is a reasonably fascinating development weโre seeing โ it seems when right-wingers understand one thing (like a tune) they assume addresses their grievances/views, they lean into it โฆ and, from the small pattern dimension we have seen, it may be efficient within the market.
Capitalism, child โฆ it reigns supreme.
