You're damned right. They NEED us fighting amongst ourselves so they can rape and pillage all of our futures for their own profit. But so many of us fall for their tricks, as it's so easy to "own" the other side online, which eventually breeds an irrational hatred and "othering". With the kettle about to blow in this country the last thing we need is neighbor fighting neighbor because they think differently from one another.
Is it because Republicans are RINO wimps? The DeepState is running this country right now. Barry is the puppet master. Important to them: Trans, No Borders, Ukraine, No Maui love, Indictment after indictment to cover for Joes criminal activities. Nothing more evil then THIS Democrat party!
@@jenniferlloyd9574 As if being 'one of the elites' is something bad. No, I am not 'one of the elites'. I just do not like when people are divided into 'good us' and 'those baad baad elites'. I do not like it when people are forced to like any hateful hogwash because 'it speaks the Tarruth".
I am a black woman, born & raised in Detroit. There is NOTHING right wing or racist about this song. And every time i hear an interview with this man or he's just talking to the camera, he's always talking about inclusiveness with EVERYONE. If anyone hears racism in this song, they're the racist...clearly. My music playlist is full of rap & this one song. Imagine when my song switches from WAP Cardi B to this 😂 My friend was like, WTF is this when the song switched. I said just listen to it. He actually listened to it & now it's on his playlist 😊 We listened to all his songs online & are now fans. I've added more of his songs to my Playlist. Give this man his flowers NOW!! Stop trying to make everything about race! These songs should speak to ANYONE that is struggling. Thank you, Oliver! Let's go have a beer & a bowl together 😊
Yea you need to stop listening to crap like wap and songs about us killing our own black brother. When you wake up you understand most of the things we grew up on keeps us dumb🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@Goganzuela exactly! As a black man who grew up democratic I can tell you most black families are brainwashed!!! All my dad said was republicans are racist without no facts! Now I’m grown and educated I see how the democrats put all the policies to destroy regular people regardless of color. They want us to depend on them! Don’t get me wrong republicans ain’t all good but definitely better for hard working people that want more money in their pockets.! I wouldn’t even call myself a democrat or republican but I’m supporting trump and anyone who thinks like him. Put America first!!! Black folks was eating good under Trump now most of them are suffering under this idiot they voted for
There is no middle class. Don't go focusing on how much money we have. Focus on how the money is obtained, the power dynamic. Then you will see, there are only two classes.
This is not a conservative or liberal song. This is not a white, black, or brown song. It is your song, it is my song and most importantly it is OUR SONG, OUR ANTHEM.
This is 100% a conservative song. It's about conserving American traditions. Liberals are insane cultists that are getting exactly what they voted for. In 2023, being a normal well adjusted adult with sensible opinions makes you a "right winger".
Brings a tear to my eye every time. Maybe because I’m older and I’ve seen prosperity and I’m seeing us going to shit. Washington DC abuse ALL OF US black, white etc. we need to end it.
Oliver Anthony has figured out the reason poor people are suffering. It's definitely not the corporations that are giving "shit pay" while they rack in record profits and make obscene amounts of money for their investors and top brass. It's also not the scummy politicians that perpetuate the system that allows this and are happy to let people languish in poverty while blatantly lying to their constituents. No, the perpetrators of this injustice are much more insidious. You see, the reason for the USA's inequity is none other than OTHER people that are struggling to make ends meet! To be more specific, an even smaller subsection of the poor: a cabal of fat people on welfare who dare to use their assistance from the government to buy sweets. These dastardly villains are enabled by all the rich men north of Virginia, because there definitely aren't any poor suffering people in the north, and there DEFINITELY aren't any rich assholes in the south who regularly exploit the poor. Such an insightful and deep point of view is unprecedented. If only those people on welfare were put in their place, we'd live in a utopia. I'm glad we have brave artists like Oliver who aren't afraid to "own the libs" and get to the heart of conservatism: "I'm poor, but fuck poor people who get help!" Open your eyes people, how are you so close to class consciousness yet turn on your fellow common man?
Oliver Anthony lives in a 27 ft camper with a tarp over the roof, and turned down an $8 million recording contract! I'm 61 yrs old, and this kid is singing for ALL of us. The words resonate to the soul! He's truth-telling, and that's a fact!
Turns out he turned down the money because he struggles with mental and emotional issues. Much respect to not put yourself in a situation that could be detrimental to your mental well being.
As a 45 year old white male, I feel the only people who have truly labeled this song as racist are the people who want us to be divided. They know that this song rings true to everyone in the US, and they know that songs like this unite us in our feelings of discomfort towards them and the power they hold. If they can convince us this is racist, then they can continue to divide us so they can stay in power. They are scared of us, a United US! You gained a new subscriber today. Stay safe, and God Bless.
I have come to realise something. The man sings about having to worker harder than ever for jack pay, a concept the left criticized for decades (And rightly so), and now all of a sudden, despite the fact we have the same goal, it is far right. It's a damn shame...
@oliviayoung8040 then you dont know what a libertarian is. Libertarian want deregulation, currently laws are skewed in favor of big corporations...its hard to start business, they tax independent contractors as corporations making it not worth it to have a side hustle. It keeps everyone employees and not self sufficient Libertarians are not Republicans on steroids. Republicans don't like the free market anymore than Democrats, they want to keep it regulated so they can use it to make more money
the fact that he googled it and it came up as a "neo nazi anthem" is exactly whats wrong with our society. This song should hit home for ALL Americans. Thank you for your honest reaction!!
the (((media))) going straight for the 'nazi / far right' label to demonise a guy who simply wrote a song abut how people are struggling and cant take anymore
Did it really? These people are insane man holy shit. We gotta stand together and stop all this before they completely destroy our country. They are scared to death of us uniting and standing up to the corrupt government. God bless 🇺🇸
Money ain't it anymore. Lord Jesus is. It is going to close soon. Better get on board! It's a world God has allowed satan to rule. Satan is running the roost. Much worse than Sodom and Gomorra. Child porn, sex trafficking, Gender confusion, mental illness, mothers killing babies.
"This is gold." Bro I went and saw him in Atlanta last week. The crowd cheered and sang along so well to this song at the end of the show that he played it twice. Tickets were on sale day of for like 9 bucks. Go see him if he's close by, guys. You'll be glad you did.
I’m Conservative. I’m 54, a Vet, and have been working since I have been 7. This is not a right wing anything. This is a song of pain. Anyone can relate to the song. It seems like the more hours you put in, the more time is lost and nothing gained. Oh yeah! It’s an American anthem. A call to take care of eachother because you are My people, I am your people. It brought Me to tears. Thank You for sharing.
Speak for yourself. This song does not resonate with me at all. It is totally right wing. And if speaking out an opinion you disagree with is woke then it is good to be woke. So I am all for woke then.
Libertarian here, love this song. We need to stop the tribalism and realise that while we fight each other, the politicians and elites grow richer and more powerful. It's not about left vs right. It's them vs us
@@andrediamond4374 recently I had a conversation with my husband, his cousin and his dad about this stuff and we all have different opinions. Someone brought up tribalism and how it's bad and I said to him what I am gonna say here. I don't think tribalism is the problem, it's forced tribes. On our own we would make our own tribes based on family or common interests or whatever but we are so divided by higher ups who play on our inherent desire for having a tribe by making it so we have to join false tribes. They do what they can to keep us from any kind of natural tribalism.
I clicked on this because of the title. As a white conservative I was genuinely interested in your opinion, I expected to respectfully disagree, and prepared to defensively disagree. Thanks for reminding all of us, that we are in this together, and political party should never divide us. You reacted to this song exactly as I did. It’s time to reunite, and stand together.
Same here, and I was not disappointed. I was always predominantly a liberal but with every passing year I get a bit wiser and tilt a bit more towards conservative values. I can only hope to remain a plain old moderate in the end. 😁
Yeah, it's time to reunite, and stand together, except the media and Democrats won't allow it. Divisiveness is the Democrat playbook, that's how they get elected.
Who would have thought a country man, with red hair, from the south, who doesn't want fame or money, would be uniting everyone of all races, all incomes, all political stances, and locations. This is a powerful song.
This song transcends race, politics and party lines. It's all Americans that are struggling right now. God bless this man for writing this protest song.
Well, one party wants to ELIMINATE coal miners. He supports coal miners. He also reads a quote from the Bible before performing. I think you can put that picture together from there.
Mining coal is a terrible job and burning coal sucks. Would be nice if we could give miners opportunities to earn a living that didnt poison their family’s water and put them in an early grave. Such a false narrative that you gotta be pro coal or anti miner. It aint miners getting rich off coal.
Not to mention that one party seems to have been very involved with Epstein's island, to the point that Bill Clinton had been there 20+ times. That same party also made it possible for welfare to be massively abused. In fact literally everything this song brings up was caused by a specific political party. The economic problems we're having right now are the direct result of the actions of the sitting president. So no, sorry, this song is not apolitical.
As a 50 year old, black woman who just got laid off from her job after 21 years, who was in the middle of trying to buy a house and a better neighborhood this song relates to me and everyone else in this country struggling
I agree with you on this! It’s not about race!! We are ALL citizens and deserve better! I love this song! He’s got a great voice, great guitar playing and so true! I love my friends of all colors and we all deserve so much more! Government is so wrong!!
I'm a 44 year old white, country living ,conservative, hard working small construction business owner from the black dirt area of Tx. I almost scrolled right past this, I am a "comment reader" and I have to say my heart was soften more after reading these comments. Black, white, brown, male , female, believer or non believer, dem, lib or republican we're all in this mess together and I pray God has mercy on us all. Love y'all
me too. my awakening started nearly a decade ago but i am from winnipeg but i moved many years ago and i started to realize "oh its the fault of policies of retarded lefties that made the place this a shit hole" what i do like about these "this dude react to dis thing" is is you, normal humans got it before the person tried to get clicks. but what i dont like is the same thing. the song speaks for itself
Canada has def fallen. It’s scary because it’s a preview of what’s coming to America soon. No real free speech and your govt will kill people who are depressed and/or have a ton of other fixable problems. Canada is terrible, which is weird cause when I was growing up Canada was pushed as “Just like America without the imperialism” - after the Freedom Convoy situation was handled, I can never look at Canada the same again. Also assisted suicide is just reprehensible from a moral standpoint.
You might still be liberal, just not voting for the criminal gang that says it is Liberal. All the criminal gangs in power PRETEND they are different, PRETEND to fight each other, but all collude as they EMBEZZLE fiat government money.
Anthony Bourdain taught me, with his show, that the majority of the people of the world are good, peaceful souls. It is the governments that are corrupt.
I believe what we need to do is know and EXPOSE the embezzling scam the gangs have been doing for decades. They just pretend to fight each other. Here is the MINIMUM we need to know in order to end the reign of corrupt sociopathic money ADDICTS who are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern: Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked? Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money! The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money. They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us. The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity. They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need. Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us. They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools". The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally derelict in their duty and UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more.
If you call yourself a Liberal and I call myself a Libertarian or a Trumper, then we already have preconceived notions on what divides us. I think songs like this show folks like us that we have more in common than what divides us, no matter what CNN says. Thank you.
@@jmmurphy1515 yup! It’s the only way out of this mess. Even if the other dude is a “meanie”. At least we weren’t broke af and helpless. I’ll take the meanie over the imbecile if it means my family ain’t struggling
So much going on, division at a all time high. As long as we see our neighbors against us there it will be our down fall. UNIGHT STAND TOGHTER WE SHALL OVERCOME.
"It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them." --Olive Anthony He has told both parties to get fuc*ed
We all have a lot more in common than those in power want us to see. Division equals diversion of our attention, which equals more opportunity for them to gain more power. No matter our skin color, our background, or our political affiliations, at the end of the day, we ALL just want to be able to go home to family that is happy and provided for. The best way to get rid of racial tension and day to day struggling to barely keeps our heads above water is to get rid of the career politicians. That is what this song is about.
Hey brother. Im happy you found Oliver. He is speaking truth. Would you be surprised to know Oliver Anthony thought it was stupid people thought that was written about dems. He said that was written to all politicians. That that song was not ment to be a song for the right or left. Just a song from his heart.
I’m a middle aged white conservative woman , I’ve been a conservative my entire adult life , with that said I think it’s time that we put our political ideologies aside and stand united against the government . I love all and want the best for all my fellow Americans. I want to see everyone eat .
Demoncrats believe in standing united WITH the government. Do you not see that? A huge portion of America wants you to pay more in taxes, be poorer, and have less rights. Stop pretending both parties are the same, they aren't.
Why pick a side really. I think Gays and trans people should be left alone. Preachers and pastors should be held accountable for diddling along with all the other diddlers. I feel like no one should ever have to go hungry, be without shelter or be in debt for the rest of their life due to student loans or medical bills. I also own a bunch of guns and I'm pissed that my blue AF state just banned damn near everything. Both sides suck. One a bit more than the other but they all want you pissed off at me for preferring Biden over a would be dictator and me to hate you for not caring that he wanted to be a dictator. Personally, I think they both suck. We don't need to pick a team. We should be the team damn it. I don't hate you for being a conservative. I also don't hate Trans people, blacks, etc, etc. Not saying you do but there sure has been a huge outcry over bud light (for reasons), teaching about LGBTQ and black history in many places. That's typically not really coming from the left. There aren't many books that should be banned We can think for ourselves.
I am a 57 year old white country boy from the south. You are my family. The only ones keeping us apart are those rich men who are terrified we will stop looking at each other and start looking at them. Peace.
The racism/division narratives are pushed by Russia and China more than our own rich men (though they surely aren't innocent, especially those in cooperation with those foreign powers). Nothing scares the other powers more than an actually united United States.
This is not a right or left wing anthem. This is an anthem for us. All of us. Everyone who laces up their boots everyday and works all day just to make their bosses richer. Just to get a paycheck and still have to decide what bills get paid and what ones have to wait. Those of us with medicine that we can’t afford. Kids clothes that we can’t afford. Gas we can’t afford. Food we can’t afford. Houses we can’t afford. This anthem is for you and I brother.
And the obese milkin' welfare Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds Not for me. This a bigot’s anthem in every man’s clothes. He couldn’t resist punching people on welfare in the face. Bc he knows people like you think that way too. This is a maga anthem who will sing it a trump rallies and vote him.
NO - it's an anthem for the NON ELITES. People have to stop cheering and applauding and ELECTING the elites into office. They will never speak or work for you the people.
Their's a lot of good bosses out here that look after their employees and the employees still find it hard to pay the bills. It's the taxes that are killing the people, don't blame the little man.
Your insight into 'Rich men north of Richmond' is SOOO on point! Too many people have gotten distracted & caught up in the labels which the parties have given us, keeping people divided, perpetuating hurt feelings & maintaining constant bickering. Sadly, that's what seems to be their ultimate goal. I myself, like Oliver Anthony, am from VA & as a Virginia Resident, we all are acutely aware of those "Rich men who reside North of Richmond", Washington DC, & when we live this close to that area, you catch the whispers & rumblings of their corruption. They rely on the belief that if we are always holding each other accountable & taking toll of another persons flaws, then we won't, & don't, address our own accountability , we stay in discord & in the end, we REALLY miss what 'those in power' are pushing, & selling off of the sweat of the average Americans brow. Because we are too busy tallying the tab of our fellow 'hardworking citizen'. People really HAVE to wake up, hold these politicians, no matter the party, accountable, stand united & hold ourselves accountable, for how much leverage we are freely giving them. Your observations & reaction to his amazingly guttural lyics are so honest, pure & ring true to what most of the American people honestly feel. I appreciate that you shared some of your story, that you shared from your heart & that you listened objectively as an American & not as a "Politically Stereotyped" listener. My political views mostly align with the Republican Party but this song isn't for any party left or right, it is for the average 65 hr a week hardworking, struggling American. Thank you! You have such a beautiful, beautiful soul my friend & definitely a new subscriber in me! Take care & God Bless you. ❤
Most country people are conservative...at 68 and listening to this thoughtful young man song my chest gets tight an I reckon that makes my eyes leak a tad...It touches me deep everytime I hear it...God gave you a real message Oliver Anthony...thank you for sharing
Well if you see leftists they want a larger Government controlling more and more which in turn if you think the Government is fucking everything up (which they are) you wouldn't be for bigger Government.@@Tyrellwastaken
It's right cause we fight for low taxes, spending our dollars in America, and stop this welfare nonsense. Like it or love it the left sends our money all over the globe, we pay for gender studies. Chicago is a hell hole that could had used a lot of the 200 billion we sent to Ukraine. It's azz backwards
Oliver is right. Our currency isn't what it use to be and no matter how hard we work to save the govern-ment's little colored pieces of paper they call "money" most of us will NEVER get ahead of the decline in value. Join the peaceful rev*olu-tion and start putting your savings into *Bit_coin instead of government currency or their eventual *C*B-D*C. If they don't control our money and how we save our labor then they don't control us. But if we keep doing what we're doing we're gonna keep getting what were getting. Something has to change. Fact: Paper currency buys less and less the longer you hold it while *Bit= coin" "Sat_0shi* buys more and more the longer you hold them. You can start with as little at $5 or $10 dollars if you want and I bet it will buy twice as much this time next year as our BS currency does today. Think about it, look into it, and G_od Bless. (I hate writing in code so I don't get banned.)
@@bradbutcher3984that ain’t even close to true although Crenshaw does it too. Nancy Pelosi and her husband have to have over 500 mil. Cmon dude. Do your research.
Sir, listening to your honest review of this song as a ‘Democrat’ and having the same feelings and knowledge about current events as ‘Republicans’ do is absolute proof the media and Politicians are trying to keep us from coming together by drawing lines in the sand and telling us which box we must stand in. I get sick of hearing the divisionist tell us we are all different. Truth is TRUTH! And we all can see it clearly. Thank you 🙏
Man you spoke the truth with that comment. I have friends that I know probably are on the other side of the political view but I don't speak to them about that. Some of them are black and some of them are white but it doesn't matter if they are my friends. I'm with you I get sick and tired of hearing the media divide us into groups who hate each other. It's a lie and it's time that we quit listening to it. I don't care who you vote for what your beliefs are we are all Americans and we should quit letting these leftist try to tell us any different.
I'm a 28 year old White Liberal guy on the West coast. I slept on this song for a few months until all the hype died down a bit. Then I listened to it and it's wonderful, it reminds me of Johnny Cash, back when country music had an actual message besides the big trucks and blind patriotism. Also his singing was beautiful and raw.
Old country music was great. It was usually about sticking it to corporations, politicians, the law basically anyone, calling out corruption. Like “sold my soul to the company store”?!?!. Somewhere after early 2000s just went down hill.
High school dropout, lives in a camper, worked 12 hour shifts six days a week for years in factories in North Carolina and Virginia, and was about a month sober when he recorded this. The guy is legit
I’m not Christian, but feel the need to point this out… he was a month sober because he got on his knees and asked god to help him quit drinking and do something with his music. Here we are a month later and take that however you will.
As a conservative your reactions to the "right wing anthem" prove that we are not as far apart in our beliefs that MSM would have us believe. I have always believed that no matter religion, race, political view, etc. Americans are Americans and, while we may not always see eye to eye, we can all still love each other and respect each other. Thank you sir.
At the most basic level, the LEFT and RIGHT PEOPLE... the actual everyday people... they all want the same things. We all want security, safety, freedom, prosperity. Our wealth is being bled out and going to the 0.001%.
I'm not American and more left leaning in my political views and it makes me sick some people are trying to call this a 'right wing anthem'. They clearly missed the message or don't want people to note it
It gives me so much hope and love to see people of all walks of life resonate with this. If we come together and drop the tribalistic nonsense, we can win.
As a white, conservative this rings true world wide, not just Republicans. I look at you as a brother! Truth is universal. Don't let any politician devide us. God bless you!
Exactly! Time for the divisions to end. Republican, democrat, man, woman, black, white. It's all nonsense. It's us against the ruling class, nothing more, nothing less. And it's always been. Let's make "divide and conquer" a thing of the past!
Amen. I’m a liberal from the Bible belt, and I agree with you. Nothing great was ever done in this country or in this world by just one group of people. It took all kinds working together. We may not be perfect as a species, and we forget important lessons too soon sometimes. We all have to come together over the simple things that unite 98% or more of us tho to make this life better.
Im Independent/ Libertarian- we all agree this isn’t the way to treat eachother while these ass holes get richer. We need to start tackling their enterprises. Sending any politician that has broken any law, you and I would be jailed for, mandatory jail time extended for all politicians who have failed the American people.
I’ve never liked country, blue grass, or blues. But this guy Oliver Anthony sings like an angel from god himself! Rich men north of Richmond isn’t a political party’s song. It’s WORKING AMERICA’S song! Black, White, Brown, Yellow, or Tan all of us together can feel the truth in those words. They keep telling us everything is getting better while they sit on the millions they make off breaking our backs, DIVIDING US, and lying to our faces! We all need to come back together and talk about what we all agree on and just forget about what we don’t! We can fix anything with a little give and take! All Politicians know it too that’s why they always try to keep pointing fingers and talking only about negative things. Every G.D election is the same crap, ‘it will be the end of our democracy!” BULLSH!T!
This is good old, Appalachian Folk music. Comes straight from the soul right into your own soul! And you're so right, this isnt a song for the left or the right. This is a song for every HARD WORKING man and woman. And if it doesnt grab you by the heart, then I think that says WAY more about who you really are than you realize. We're FED UP with killing ourselves every damn day, just to barely get by. We're sick of being beat down & lied to. And they've programmed us to actually believe that they know what's best & somehow we deserve less than they do. Oliver gave us a beautiful call to action! Now its up to us to keep it going & lift each other up! Sincerely, good luck and much love & respect to each & every one of you ❤
I’m a Republican but you felt what I felt. We are all the same. Good truthful review. Powers in control divide and conquer. Keeps us all apart. This is common ground. An anthem for all Americans!
Why do you still call yourself a Republican? There's no bigger divide-and-conquer strategy than having the victims identify with a political party, especially one of the big two. If you know better, then tear up your red gang rag and join humanity in freedom!
This is a Libertarian Anthem. Not Conservative and not progressive. Democrats aren't Liberals any longer. Classic Liberalism is modern day Libertarianism. Careful what you vote for. If you're voting for Liberals, just remember what you're handing over in exchange.
exactly. the reactions to this song just further exposes how the government has screwed everyone and that the division not just in this county but the world is nothing but a fabrication.
YESSSS!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸 We need more of this and to start standing together. I think everyone’s TIRED! Humans need positive interaction with each other to survive!
We need to remember that United we stand, divided we fall; the government knows this fact all too well. Let's stand together against government corruption.
You might call yourself a Black Liberal as much as I call myself a White Conservative, but we have so much that brings us together. This song does it bro.
You know what, people like you and me who are "former Democrats", or formerly left leaning, we didn't change what we believed. At least I'm assuming that you haven't. It's the parties that have changed - most specifically the Democrat party which has gone so far to the left that it's not even remotely liberal anymore it's authoritarian leftist. People who care about individual freedom and preserving the constitution are now considered "right wing" when those used to be values that were shared by people on both sides. It's crazy. But what people need to start waking up to is that the Democrat party is just what the World Economic Forum is using to push through their Great Reset. They could have come in on either side - and don't get me wrong, I'm sure most of our Republican politicians are in on it as well, it really is a "uniparty" that just pushes a divisive narrative to keep us fighting and ignoring them - but the left was easier to use because they believe in big government and are usually more emotion driven. The vast majority of us at this point feel exactly like Oliver Anthony feels, he doesn't like either party they have both screwed us. We need to drop the party politics and start paying attention to who our common enemy really is.
Yup if we unite we would be a force to be reckoned with and that scares them as it should we need to get these corrupt politicians out of office democrat and republican
There’s no republican or democrat. Those are just the labels our owners wear to keep us confused, entertained and occupied. Politically, do you believe in more government which means more control and less freedom, or LESS government which means more freedom and… more personal responsibility. It’s a real gut check, which one are you… and which do you think you should be.
Latest statement by Oliver(Chris) Anthony---It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000+ messages and emails I've received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on. Im sitting in such a weird place in my life right now. I never wanted to be a full time musician, much less sit at the top of the iTunes charts. Draven from RadioWv and I filmed these tunes on my land with the hope that it may hit 300k views. I still don't quite believe what has went on since we uploaded that. It's just strange to me. People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place. So that being said, I have never taken the time to tell you who I actually am. Here's a formal introduction: My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and "Oliver Anthony Music" is a dedication not only to him, but 1930's Appalachia where he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris. You can decide for yourself, either is fine. In 2010, I dropped out of high school at age 17. I have a GED from Spruce Pine, NC. I worked multiple plant jobs in Western NC, my last being at the paper mill in McDowell county. I worked 3rd shift, 6 days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell. In 2013, I had a bad fall at work and fractured my skull. It forced me to move back home to Virginia. Due to complications from the injury, it took me 6 months or so before I could work again. From 2014 until just a few days ago, I've worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world. My job has taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated. In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property and still owe about $60,000 on it. I am living in a 27' camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off of craigslist for $750. There's nothing special about me. I'm not a good musician, I'm not a very good person. I've spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it's in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away. That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land. When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don't let them take it away from you. Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God and have let false idols distract us and divide us. It's a damn shame.
thats one of the best musicians ive heard in a long time and he hits it deep and meaningfull across the world not just in america we all feel it love that guy ,, subscribed
Not a country fan nor liberal, but this song speaks to all of us who are struggling who just want to provide for family/friends. We The People. Respect for giving this a fair look and sharing your views sir.
yes the ((globalists)) have and want total control, they are also satanists and freemasons, they propagate and push anti-Christian, anti-Christianity, anti-Christ propaganda, ideologies and sentiments. My advice is to convert and believe the catholic faith, the society of saint pius the tenth marian corps (the sspx-mc), is the catholic church and the true faith. Learn and pray the rosary, pray your rosary's intention for the consecration of Russia to Mary's immaculate heart, and anything else you desire. And don't say the illuminous mysteries.
This man’s music has done more to unify the people in 2 weeks than the government has done in 20 years. I think we can all relate to the raw truth spoke in “rich men north of Richmond”. On top of it all the man is extremely talented and raw. Watch his interviews and you’ll see he is just a man that wants to see people for who they are without labels. Like most people truly do.
This is a Libertarian Anthem. Not Conservative and not progressive. Democrats aren't Liberals any longer. Classic Liberalism is modern day Libertarianism. Careful what you vote for. If you're voting for Liberals, just remember what you're handing over in exchange.
As a person who has a blue collar husband who works himself into the ground who never complains and does what he has to do to make ends meet and not have anything to show for how HARD he works.. this song is spot on, screw the rich men north of Richmond.
I’m about a conservative as they come. We may not agree on a lot of things but we both love Jesus and like this song. I really appreciate you giving this song a chance not just going with what you heard about it. We really need to get back to being able to disagree and still respect each other and enjoy our common interests. One day we will be praising God for eternity together and none of our differences here will matter.
This song has no color, it speaks to everyone. I come from Portugal, and I can say that this song has also struck us here in Europe. We are living the same thing in Europe. Life is getting more and more expensive, and we work to pay politicians who are getting rich while leaving us to suffer. They refuse to pay us more to force us not to think, just to wake up, work, pay our bills, and thank them for the scraps on the table.
The idea of the United states was to escape taxation, and theft. they have lied and distroyed the meaning of what this nation was founded on. Misinterpreting the constitution for personal gains. Socialist programs that corrupt and destroy capitalist societies. Money has no value, they can now steal your assets. PURE EVIL.
@bradycameron9179 this song touched alot of people around the world, he is describing parts of the U.S, but we all live a human experience and we can all relate! Love to you and your family!
Who elected The Government? Does anyone out there understand how our government is supposed to work for us, the taxpayer and how badly most of us have been marginalized and disenfranchised over the last 40 years? There is NO both sides to it either. Look at what republicans have done to cut people from voting(our voice), enrich themselves(trump grifting his voters so they’ll pay for his attorney expenditures), interminable wars so the war machine(anyone remember Halliburton?)just keeps on looking for cannon fodder. By the way, this guy’s griping about how bad he’s got it but I’d be curious to know how much that guitar he’s strumming cost him. Give me a break.
We need to stop electing democrats and republicans, fire the crooks in dc by replacing them with honest decent average people. The type of person who will only do it out of responsibility to the country instead of the type who seek power and notoriety. Look at the mess at home and abroad the experienced “experts” have created. It’s insane to keep these people in office.
@inacook2285 you are absolutely correct! The comments on this song, from the actual video to reactions of those hearing the song for the first time, ALL have the common theme, that we are all of the American family, regardless of our ancestry. I've also noticed this song has struck a cord with the working class around the world. 🥲❤
Song made possible from this man due to privileged pampered politicians.. Biden Harris Pelosi economics and border policy, children sex trafficking and drug into US CITIES.
I’m a conservative from the south of all places and this song has shown how we’ve let the media make us think we’re divided. We’re not as divided as it appears and we just need to stop being liberal, conservative, black, white, Hispanic, etc and just be Americans. We’re all being extorted by a small bunch of out of touch elitists who are serving themselves and not the people who elected them. On the topic of this song, it’s real music. It’s right to the heart and relatable. I’ve heard people talking about Oliver’s voice cracking but to me that just gives his singing character, it shows a man singing and not a machine making it “technically perfect”.
I thought it was weird when he dissed poor people for being fat and eating snacks. I thought this was supposed to be a song against the "rich men north of Richmond," not the fat broke-guys south of Richmond...
@heythere9371 dawg you're purposely trying to divide more. We all know being fat is unhealthy and it's not fair that people who chose that lifestyle get to use food stamps to buy crap food. The people who actually need food stamps are more rare than you think.
I don't think he was really dissing "fat broke people" but more talking about how the welfare system has some inherent flaws that enable people who aren't actually disabled and just want to be lazy and get a free check to spend on more than just necessities instead of taking the plethora of job opportunities that are available now. And since that is happening, people who actually need welfare like the physically or mentally handicapped and veterans that struggle with coping and living or even those who are stuggling in low income areas and could benefit and us it to work their way out of the bad situation they're in, it takes away from them getting the help they need.
Amen. I’m a liberal from the Bible belt, and I agree with you. Nothing great was ever done in this country or in this world by just one group of people. It took all kinds working together. We may not be perfect as a species, and we forget important lessons too soon sometimes. We all have to come together over the simple things that unite 98% or more of us tho to make this life better.
I'm a 62 year old white man and people should see the system we have wants to divide us - this song speaks from the heart. I truly believe he is blessed by God to send this message (and others) to us all. God uses His people like this. At a recent concert he read from Psalm 37. Read it and know His word is encouragement to His people. God speaks through Oliver's lyrics.
As a hard liberal, grew up in Washington state where left wing policies are known to all, this man speaks the truth. It's not an anthem for either side. It's an anthem for all those who rightfully feel oppressed by just living in this world. This is how we can get over the silliness of politics and all come together. Song of the decade in my opinion, let's just hope this man keeps going and support everything he does. ❤
You are correct and I respect you and our diversity. This is what America is. Freedom! I love you and all of your friends and family. FYI, I’m Republican. Not right-wing. I can get along with a democrat in a heart beat. Except for eminem. I don’t like that punk.
I love that both sides love the song. Just curious, if you think we are over taxed and the government is corrupt why do you consider yourself a Liberal when Liberal politics regularly expand government control and raise taxes? That view seems contradictory but maybe I’m missing something. No disrespect, truly curious what your opinion is.
bro it says minors are more important then minors are more important the minors on epstien island if thats what u support then u do u but ur a horrible person
preach! I grew up in the west coast too! and this song represents most of us! Most of us working class citizens who's just trying to put food into the table. This song is all about our struggles. But hey, if it doesn't fit their narrative, their story, they/them. its right wing and racist.
@@chendry6830Trump literally gave the highest tax break to corporations, in the history of corporate tax breaks. One that was permanent while the middle class tax break lasted 2 years. But yeah "democrats" and such.
I'm not American, but this song hit me pretty damn hard. This isnt about what political side you're on.. this is about ALL of us working people getting absolutely fucked by the elites and politicians that run our countries
It's sad that someone who isn't even American gets this song but these ppl who are blessed to live here and not have to worry about paying thier bills see it as a hateful or racist song. The fact that the song has exploded like it has tho gives me hope more and more ppl are waking up.
Thank you for being a black liberal and taking a minute realize we aren't as divided as the media wants us to think we are.. I'm straight out of the hills of Kentucky and don't judge anyone based on color or beliefs.. We are all just trying to get by... I'm just an old soul, living in the new world.. take care..
were divided but that might not be forever and they will account for their corruption and malfeasance and maybe it wont make the world right but it will bring to justice some of the elites who have trafficked in phony racial justice politics....
this was already well known that rednecks are like 90% away from becoming communists but shit themselves with people who identify as such. fox news rotted y'alls brains
The media is the true evil and dividing factor of modern civilization. They create the story, the narrative, the problems, and solutions as they see fit.
Man, one of the most overlooked lines in this song is, “I wish politicians would look out for MINERS and not just MINORS ON AN ISLAND!” Love the line & love the direct dig at those Epstein connections.
I love it as well for the same reason!... problem is I think that that's why they are saying it's a "right wing anthe." They are misinterpreting his meaning. Instead of realizing the song is about unity. That "ALL" rich men north of Richmond want total control. They only see their side.
I’m in tears, reading comments..look at us all coming together what they didn’t want..my heart is so full and I love all of you I don’t care what political side you on..we sufferin..this man’s soul be singin’ we feel his pain ..OA’s soul sang and we felt it. I’m on your side on the peoples ..we got each other through this dark time in the world. ❤
And even with that, look at all the asshats tryin, as hard as they can, to stop the *coming together* that happened organically from this song. Some people will destroy anything.
White male here, I hope all eyes open to the words of this song. We’ve been separated by outside forces, yet we’re closer than most know. Love and respect all. We are not enemies.
I found myself just pouring tears reading these comments too. I can’t explain why it hit me so hard. It’s just unbelievable how anointed this song is and how hardship brings us all together. No matter the race or ethnicity. We are all God’s creation, made in His image. I love this message.
I say we all we got we all we need. This country is not as divided as the politicians and news wants us to think. Look how close the elections always are that shows we aren’t as divided.
This is the working man anthem. There is no R or L in this song. Most of the country is working paycheck to paycheck and politicians in Washington DC (rich men north of Richmond) don't care about them.
That is the most outrageous bs. The USA always lived good. And now America lives good. This attempt to present himself as oh so poor working man exploited by the evil govn'ment is downright cringy. There is no R or D (why L?) in this song? The hell there is not! This song all about politics. This song would never be advertised when Anthony's and his bakers idol Trump was in the office. Then the shoe was on the other leg and everybody was supposed to praise Trump the Great. This is not about music. This is all about politics.
The media and the rich men north of Richmond are working hard to squash this music because it’s a song of the people, regardless of ethnicity or background. Their worst fear is for Americans to be unified and standing together as one. Great review and great music!
You're right. Think about all the times we've united against evil within our nation and what happened? Same old rich men North of Richmond (this includes the founding fathers). Civil War & Reconstruction...ended. Civil Rights movement...leaders shot. Black Lives Matter is categorized as a hate group when those doing the violence (less than 7% of protests) were officers and instigators, and opportunists. Those people marching true to the actual cause were not violent and did not steal, which was the vast majority of protesters.
What’s crazy is that Oliver has openly stated that he’s in the middle politically, he ain’t a right winger at all, and he talks about how this song is suppose to be a representation of all people of America. God bless this man
A black man being in agreement with a total stranger white dude. This is the best reaction of this clip I have seen yet and it hit deep. This song will be the anthem for the United Auto Workers upcoming strike. This will embolden EVERYONE in America for a livable wage! I'm an Aussie and can see the wave of Americans coming for the Hill....
Libertarian / Anarchist black man here. This song is great and I'm glad it's resonating with people. Never encountered your content, brother, but I appreciate your fairness, honesty and open mind. Love to everybody in the comments!
The Op and the comment above me is a thing of beauty and if everyone is on the same page those that create this pain we all have will/would be in deep shite
I see your love , double it and raise you with a hug and a handshake ... this is a new chapter in the western world I hope .. we don't need their greed and diversity speeches
white conservative Christian here too, listen guys, the main problem today is both side will over look corruption as long as their guy can stay in power, we have to be better
This song is exactly what we needed in a time where the country is separated this brings us together. We may be on opposite sides but all of us can relate to this message. You earned a subscriber nothing but respect 🤝🏽
I cannot relate to the message. And I do not need the song at all. If you do it is your business. But I do not like when others decide what I like and what I need.

@@Martin.Wilson Why are you guys so predictable? Everybody who dares not to like what you like must be rich. :))) No, I am not wealthy. And I cannot relate with this song at all. But I like your snotty belief that rich people are somehow inferior to oh so goody goody you. No, they are not.

@@RadRat1138This resonates with everyone on all sides. He also has made some anti left comments which is why it was labeled as a “right wing” song. We need to unite not divide.
@@RadRat1138 he was doing an interview with Jordan Peterson (not sure on the correct spelling of the last name). He declared himself center, which I think is 100% where people need to be. His interview got him declared “alt right or right wing” by MSNBC. I’m not sure how, but it was absolutely on MSNBC I watched it live.
There's something in Oliver Anthony's voice that seems like a throwback to the early Appalachian style music from long ago. He has such feeling and soul in his music, it's phenomenal. It just reaches in and grabs your heart and your gut and shakes you loose from your composure until your emotions well up inside you.
Oliver Anthony is actually his grandad's name and named his music after him in honor as his was a old school Appalachian mountain man and into the old Appalachian music. Your instincts were right. He's actual name is Christopher i believe.
@@BNezzy Interesting. I didn't know that. He has impacted more than just the music industry. He has struck a nerve with Americans of all kinds. Thanks, BNezzy.
Anyone who honestly believes that this song has ANYTHING to do with being a Republican or a Democrat is wasting their time because they can't think for themselves. They just listen and do what they are told to do. No questions asked 💯 this song is the new anthem for ANYONE who is sick and tired of being sick and tired and we're ALL over the bullshit 💯💯🎯🎯🙌🔥🎵💙
The sad thing is is that people call themselves liberals but you don't see that the lawmakers the ones that have been making the decisions in this country have been the Democrats. Now they want to throw you in prison for using the wrong pronoun. We all need to come together respect each other's lives Let each one live is they may but do the best for this country. They want to keep us divided on all of this stuff that we see running rampant in our country today so we don't see what they are doing behind the scenes! Because if they can keep us divided on race and sexuality and gender then we don't see what they are doing! I've come to thank that it's not even about liberal and conservative it's against the evil that's in this country and in this world
gonna be honest with you, libertarianism isnt the way either. libertarianism enables many of the issues we're facing today. they're incredibly pro-company and pro corporate. you're being mislead
The media divides. I believe we all want the same thing regardless of political affiliation. The quicker people ignore narratives on either “side” of the aisle the quicker they’ll realize we are the same.
@@xWrathx67the core principles of libertarians are the core principles of the vast majority of Americans. Leave us alone, let us live our lives and stop taxing us to death.
Personally I'm a conservative but I like hearing both sides. The media tends to over exaggerate things to fit their own agenda, be it left or right. This song is not what the media is painting it as. Props to you for checking it out instead of just reading the headlines.
I'm conservative, i can't stand either party. We the people are not enemies, we're all getting screwed
DJT introduced MAGA , he brought to light what we felt in “fake news” ! Solid statement, I am 🇺🇸MAGA🇺🇸 ! Screw the dem/repub thieves !
You're damned right. They NEED us fighting amongst ourselves so they can rape and pillage all of our futures for their own profit. But so many of us fall for their tricks, as it's so easy to "own" the other side online, which eventually breeds an irrational hatred and "othering". With the kettle about to blow in this country the last thing we need is neighbor fighting neighbor because they think differently from one another.
Is it because Republicans are RINO wimps?

If anyone hears racism in this song, they're the racist...clearly. My music playlist is full of rap & this one song.

This is not a conservative or liberal song. This is not a white, black, or brown song. It is your song, it is my song and most importantly it is OUR SONG, OUR ANTHEM.
Tell that to the left wing mainstream media. They attack anything they dont control.
This is 100% a conservative song. It's about conserving American traditions. Liberals are insane cultists that are getting exactly what they voted for. In 2023, being a normal well adjusted adult with sensible opinions makes you a "right winger".

Damn right!
💯
This isn’t a right wing anthem, it’s a call for all of us to become united as Americans. It’s an American anthem!! Truly amazing song
Couldn't agree more - this guy is great!
Brings a tear to my eye every time. Maybe because I’m older and I’ve seen prosperity and I’m seeing us going to shit. Washington DC abuse ALL OF US black, white etc. we need to end it.
Us vs them and we’re fighting internally while they get rich and laugh at us.
Oliver Anthony has figured out the reason poor people are suffering. It's definitely not the corporations that are giving "shit pay" while they rack in record profits and make obscene amounts of money for their investors and top brass. It's also not the scummy politicians that perpetuate the system that allows this and are happy to let people languish in poverty while blatantly lying to their constituents. No, the perpetrators of this injustice are much more insidious.
You see, the reason for the USA's inequity is none other than OTHER people that are struggling to make ends meet! To be more specific, an even smaller subsection of the poor: a cabal of fat people on welfare who dare to use their assistance from the government to buy sweets. These dastardly villains are enabled by all the rich men north of Virginia, because there definitely aren't any poor suffering people in the north, and there DEFINITELY aren't any rich assholes in the south who regularly exploit the poor.
Such an insightful and deep point of view is unprecedented. If only those people on welfare were put in their place, we'd live in a utopia. I'm glad we have brave artists like Oliver who aren't afraid to "own the libs" and get to the heart of conservatism: "I'm poor, but fuck poor people who get help!" Open your eyes people, how are you so close to class consciousness yet turn on your fellow common man?
@@olmanriver2355 you are completely right … they laugh while they line their pockets with our dollars. Tragic

As a 45 year old white male, I feel the only people who have truly labeled this song as racist are the people who want us to be divided. They know that this song rings true to everyone in the US, and they know that songs like this unite us in our feelings of discomfort towards them and the power they hold. If they can convince us this is racist, then they can continue to divide us so they can stay in power. They are scared of us, a United US!

It's a damn shame...
@oliviayoung8040 then you dont know what a libertarian is. Libertarian want deregulation, currently laws are skewed in favor of big corporations...its hard to start business, they tax independent contractors as corporations making it not worth it to have a side hustle.

Libertarians are not Republicans on steroids. Republicans don't like the free market anymore than Democrats, they want to keep it regulated so they can use it to make more money
the fact that he googled it and it came up as a "neo nazi anthem" is exactly whats wrong with our society. This song should hit home for ALL Americans. Thank you for your honest reaction!!
It's only a neo nazi song if you're a rich, corrupt politician. This song hits home for hardworking taxpayers who struggle with raising a family.

Bro I went and saw him in Atlanta last week. The crowd cheered and sang along so well to this song at the end of the show that he played it twice.
Tickets were on sale day of for like 9 bucks. Go see him if he's close by, guys. You'll be glad you did.
I hope he travels, I want to see him and support his group as well. Sounds so fun and inspiring.
I’m Conservative. I’m 54, a Vet, and have been working since I have been 7. This is not a right wing anything. This is a song of pain. Anyone can relate to the song. It seems like the more hours you put in, the more time is lost and nothing gained. Oh yeah! It’s an American anthem. A call to take care of eachother because you are My people, I am your people. It brought Me to tears. Thank You for sharing.
I will correct you on one point, it's not just an American anthem it's a world anthem. It has hit with people world wide already.

Straight up this song resonates to all of us, black and white. Anyone who says its right wing is some WOKE ass dude.
Facts.
Speak for yourself. This song does not resonate with me at all. It is totally right wing. And if speaking out an opinion you disagree with is woke then it is good to be woke. So I am all for woke then.

@@brandonammon3769 i am from Quebec we lived under Trudeau politics and Canada smell like Chinada! And it's pretty much the same across G7 country.
Libertarian here, love this song. We need to stop the tribalism and realise that while we fight each other, the politicians and elites grow richer and more powerful. It's not about left vs right. It's them vs us
@@andrediamond4374 recently I had a conversation with my husband, his cousin and his dad about this stuff and we all have different opinions. Someone brought up tribalism and how it's bad and I said to him what I am gonna say here. I don't think tribalism is the problem, it's forced tribes. On our own we would make our own tribes based on family or common interests or whatever but we are so divided by higher ups who play on our inherent desire for having a tribe by making it so we have to join false tribes. They do what they can to keep us from any kind of natural tribalism.
I clicked on this because of the title. As a white conservative I was genuinely interested in your opinion, I expected to respectfully disagree, and prepared to defensively disagree. Thanks for reminding all of us, that we are in this together, and political party should never divide us. You reacted to this song exactly as I did. It’s time to reunite, and stand together.
Both parties are now the Uniparty.
@@marianclough8577Time for a new party
Same here, and I was not disappointed. I was always predominantly a liberal but with every passing year I get a bit wiser and tilt a bit more towards conservative values. I can only hope to remain a plain old moderate in the end. 😁
Yeah, it's time to reunite, and stand together, except the media and Democrats won't allow it. Divisiveness is the Democrat playbook, that's how they get elected.
@peelow983, I did the same thing! Exactly why I clicked on this! As soon as I saw his face go, "HUH?" I knew that he was in this lifeboat with us!
Who would have thought a country man, with red hair, from the south, who doesn't want fame or money, would be uniting everyone of all races, all incomes, all political stances, and locations. This is a powerful song.
Literally everyone who is a true southern man born in the last 30 years. Shocking, I know.
If there's one thing you can count on the south with its rebelling against the federal government.
He turned down 8 million from a music company
Kudos he wouldn't sell his soul to the devil's industry Amen brother
because THEY lie to all of US
This song transcends race, politics and party lines. It's all Americans that are struggling right now. God bless this man for writing this protest song.
Well, one party wants to ELIMINATE coal miners. He supports coal miners. He also reads a quote from the Bible before performing. I think you can put that picture together from there.
Mining coal is a terrible job and burning coal sucks. Would be nice if we could give miners opportunities to earn a living that didnt poison their family’s water and put them in an early grave.
Such a false narrative that you gotta be pro coal or anti miner. It aint miners getting rich off coal.
Not to mention that one party seems to have been very involved with Epstein's island, to the point that Bill Clinton had been there 20+ times. That same party also made it possible for welfare to be massively abused.
In fact literally everything this song brings up was caused by a specific political party. The economic problems we're having right now are the direct result of the actions of the sitting president.
So no, sorry, this song is not apolitical.
And countries. I’ve heard people around the world listening to it and feel the same way. This is a worldwide problem.
It's definitely not a song that supports the dems
This man speaks for everyone!
As a 50 year old, black woman who just got laid off from her job after 21 years, who was in the middle of trying to buy a house and a better neighborhood this song relates to me and everyone else in this country struggling
I'm sorry to hear that, God bless you my dear!❤🫂
God has a plan for you. Maybe he is calling you to a better place.
It's time to unite the world over. It's the elite who divide us. Let's end the madness and take back our world

I'm Canadian and am no longer a liberal. This is an Anthem for real people.
me too. my awakening started nearly a decade ago but i am from winnipeg but i moved many years ago and i started to realize "oh its the fault of policies of retarded lefties that made the place this a shit hole"
what i do like about these "this dude react to dis thing" is is you, normal humans got it before the person tried to get clicks. but what i dont like is the same thing. the song speaks for itself
Canada has def fallen. It’s scary because it’s a preview of what’s coming to America soon.
No real free speech and your govt will kill people who are depressed and/or have a ton of other fixable problems. Canada is terrible, which is weird cause when I was growing up Canada was pushed as “Just like America without the imperialism” - after the Freedom Convoy situation was handled, I can never look at Canada the same again.
Also assisted suicide is just reprehensible from a moral standpoint.
And the corporate left wanting to discredit this song should show you what they want or believe in.
You might still be liberal, just not voting for the criminal gang that says it is Liberal. All the criminal gangs in power PRETEND they are different, PRETEND to fight each other, but all collude as they EMBEZZLE fiat government money.

@@slmxgrm ikr lol it's rare.!
That's why they hate Trump 💯
Anthony Bourdain taught me, with his show, that the majority of the people of the world are good, peaceful souls. It is the governments that are corrupt.
I’m conservative but I hate what’s going on and neither side has balls to help us the people. This man sings absolute truth
I believe what we need to do is know and EXPOSE the embezzling scam the gangs have been doing for decades. They just pretend to fight each other.
Here is the MINIMUM we need to know in order to end the reign of corrupt sociopathic money ADDICTS who are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern:
Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked?
Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money!
The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money.
They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us.
The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity.
They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need.
Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us.
They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools".
The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally derelict in their duty and UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more.

I’m a old white guy fairly conservative and I agree with every word you just said! I think PEOPLE have more in common than they want us to believe!
It's because we are more alike than they want us to believe. Divide and conquer
True. We also have the same enemies enslaving us = The WEF criminal elites. Unite everyone you can against them. This is war.
The government doesn't care about us. We are all $$$ signs to them. He speaks facts
"It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them." --Olive Anthony
He has told both parties to get fuc*ed
We all have a lot more in common than those in power want us to see. Division equals diversion of our attention, which equals more opportunity for them to gain more power. No matter our skin color, our background, or our political affiliations, at the end of the day, we ALL just want to be able to go home to family that is happy and provided for.
The best way to get rid of racial tension and day to day struggling to barely keeps our heads above water is to get rid of the career politicians. That is what this song is about.
Hey brother. Im happy you found Oliver. He is speaking truth. Would you be surprised to know Oliver Anthony thought it was stupid people thought that was written about dems. He said that was written to all politicians. That that song was not ment to be a song for the right or left. Just a song from his heart.
I’m a middle aged white conservative woman , I’ve been a conservative my entire adult life , with that said I think it’s time that we put our political ideologies aside and stand united against the government . I love all and want the best for all my fellow Americans. I want to see everyone eat .
Demoncrats believe in standing united WITH the government. Do you not see that? A huge portion of America wants you to pay more in taxes, be poorer, and have less rights. Stop pretending both parties are the same, they aren't.
The political ideologies of the left is what put us in this mess.
Hallelujah!
Why pick a side really. I think Gays and trans people should be left alone. Preachers and pastors should be held accountable for diddling along with all the other diddlers. I feel like no one should ever have to go hungry, be without shelter or be in debt for the rest of their life due to student loans or medical bills.
I also own a bunch of guns and I'm pissed that my blue AF state just banned damn near everything.
Both sides suck. One a bit more than the other but they all want you pissed off at me for preferring Biden over a would be dictator and me to hate you for not caring that he wanted to be a dictator. Personally, I think they both suck. We don't need to pick a team. We should be the team damn it. I don't hate you for being a conservative. I also don't hate Trans people, blacks, etc, etc.
Not saying you do but there sure has been a huge outcry over bud light (for reasons), teaching about LGBTQ and black history in many places. That's typically not really coming from the left. There aren't many books that should be banned
We can think for ourselves.
That's what got us into this position. If Americans had a spine this video wouldn't exist

This is not a right or left wing anthem. This is an anthem for us. All of us. Everyone who laces up their boots everyday and works all day just to make their bosses richer. Just to get a paycheck and still have to decide what bills get paid and what ones have to wait. Those of us with medicine that we can’t afford. Kids clothes that we can’t afford. Gas we can’t afford.

Not for me. This a bigot’s anthem in every man’s clothes. He couldn’t resist punching people on welfare in the face. Bc he knows people like you think that way too. This is a maga anthem who will sing it a trump rallies and vote him.
You Got it!!
NO - it's an anthem for the NON ELITES. People have to stop cheering and applauding and ELECTING the elites into office. They will never speak or work for you the people.
Their's a lot of good bosses out here that look after their employees and the employees still find it hard to pay the bills. It's the taxes that are killing the people, don't blame the little man.
It's a People's Anthem.
Your insight into 'Rich men north of Richmond' is SOOO on point! Too many people have gotten distracted & caught up in the labels which the parties have given us, keeping people divided, perpetuating hurt feelings & maintaining constant bickering. Sadly, that's what seems to be their ultimate goal. I myself, like Oliver Anthony, am from VA & as a Virginia Resident, we all are acutely aware of those "Rich men who reside North of Richmond", Washington DC, & when we live this close to that area, you catch the whispers & rumblings of their corruption.
They rely on the belief that if we are always holding each other accountable & taking toll of another persons flaws, then we won't, & don't, address our own accountability , we stay in discord & in the end, we REALLY miss what 'those in power' are pushing, & selling off of the sweat of the average Americans brow. Because we are too busy tallying the tab of our fellow 'hardworking citizen'.
People really HAVE to wake up, hold these politicians, no matter the party, accountable, stand united & hold ourselves accountable, for how much leverage we are freely giving them.
Your observations & reaction to his amazingly guttural lyics are so honest, pure & ring true to what most of the American people honestly feel. I appreciate that you shared some of your story, that you shared from your heart & that you listened objectively as an American & not as a "Politically Stereotyped" listener.
My political views mostly align with the Republican Party but this song isn't for any party left or right, it is for the average 65 hr a week hardworking, struggling American.
Thank you! You have such a beautiful, beautiful soul my friend & definitely a new subscriber in me! Take care & God Bless you. ❤
Most country people are conservative...at 68 and listening to this thoughtful young man song my chest gets tight an I reckon that makes my eyes leak a tad...It touches me deep everytime I hear it...God gave you a real message Oliver Anthony...thank you for sharing

Ask yourself what else they have lied about. Right wing, get outta here!
It's right cause we fight for low taxes, spending our dollars in America, and stop this welfare nonsense. Like it or love it the left sends our money all over the globe, we pay for gender studies. Chicago is a hell hole that could had used a lot of the 200 billion we sent to Ukraine. It's azz backwards
Oliver is right. Our currency isn't what it use to be and no matter how hard we work to save the govern-ment's little colored pieces of paper they call "money" most of us will NEVER get ahead of the decline in value. Join the peaceful rev*olu-tion and start putting your savings into *Bit_coin instead of government currency or their eventual *C*B-D*C. If they don't control our money and how we save our labor then they don't control us. But if we keep doing what we're doing we're gonna keep getting what were getting. Something has to change. Fact: Paper currency buys less and less the longer you hold it while *Bit= coin" "Sat_0shi* buys more and more the longer you hold them. You can start with as little at $5 or $10 dollars if you want and I bet it will buy twice as much this time next year as our BS currency does today. Think about it, look into it, and G_od Bless.

Amen. I’m a liberal from the Bible belt, and I agree with you. Nothing great was ever done in this country or in this world by just one group of people. It took all kinds working together. We may not be perfect as a species, and we forget important lessons too soon sometimes.
We all have to come together over the simple things that unite 98% or more of us tho to make this life better.
Im Independent/ Libertarian- we all agree this isn’t the way to treat eachother while these ass holes get richer. We need to start tackling their enterprises. Sending any politician that has broken any law, you and I would be jailed for, mandatory jail time extended for all politicians who have failed the American people.
don't let politicians divide us, yet the first thing you tell us is your political leanings. you americans are so odd.
I’ve never liked country, blue grass, or blues. But this guy Oliver Anthony sings like an angel from god himself! Rich men north of Richmond isn’t a political party’s song. It’s WORKING AMERICA’S song! Black, White, Brown, Yellow, or Tan all of us together can feel the truth in those words. They keep telling us everything is getting better while they sit on the millions they make off breaking our backs, DIVIDING US, and lying to our faces! We all need to come back together and talk about what we all agree on and just forget about what we don’t! We can fix anything with a little give and take! All Politicians know it too that’s why they always try to keep pointing fingers and talking only about negative things. Every G.D election is the same crap, ‘it will be the end of our democracy!” BULLSH!T!
Hey, that's cool how you just went straight into another song he did. Wasn't expecting that. I enjoyed the reviews
This is good old, Appalachian Folk music. Comes straight from the soul right into your own soul! And you're so right, this isnt a song for the left or the right. This is a song for every HARD WORKING man and woman. And if it doesnt grab you by the heart, then I think that says WAY more about who you really are than you realize. We're FED UP with killing ourselves every damn day, just to barely get by. We're sick of being beat down & lied to. And they've programmed us to actually believe that they know what's best & somehow we deserve less than they do. Oliver gave us a beautiful call to action! Now its up to us to keep it going & lift each other up! Sincerely, good luck and much love & respect to each & every one of you ❤

Brother, let's go to Heaven together...and in the MEANTIME, let's make this dirty Earth better for each other, as long as we can! AMEN.
@@URangryX "Brother, let's go to heaven together" sounds like an awesome song title for Oliver Anthony lol
Y’all got the idea down! I’m with you!!!
@@URangryX I love this comment so much, I'll go with you Jesus is the way!! God bless you and yours!!
Song gives me chills. Former Democrat now slightly conservative Puerto Rican. We all have a lot in common. They’re scared of us uniting. 🇺🇸
You know what, people like you and me who are "former Democrats", or formerly left leaning, we didn't change what we believed. At least I'm assuming that you haven't. It's the parties that have changed - most specifically the Democrat party which has gone so far to the left that it's not even remotely liberal anymore it's authoritarian leftist. People who care about individual freedom and preserving the constitution are now considered "right wing" when those used to be values that were shared by people on both sides. It's crazy. But what people need to start waking up to is that the Democrat party is just what the World Economic Forum is using to push through their Great Reset. They could have come in on either side - and don't get me wrong, I'm sure most of our Republican politicians are in on it as well, it really is a "uniparty" that just pushes a divisive narrative to keep us fighting and ignoring them - but the left was easier to use because they believe in big government and are usually more emotion driven. The vast majority of us at this point feel exactly like Oliver Anthony feels, he doesn't like either party they have both screwed us. We need to drop the party politics and start paying attention to who our common enemy really is.
Yup if we unite we would be a force to be reckoned with and that scares them as it should we need to get these corrupt politicians out of office democrat and republican
There’s no republican or democrat. Those are just the labels our owners wear to keep us confused, entertained and occupied. Politically, do you believe in more government which means more control and less freedom, or LESS government which means more freedom and… more personal responsibility. It’s a real gut check, which one are you… and which do you think you should be.
We must unite under the banner of freedom and America first.
@@nicoleallen5449Yeah change the puppets that will change a lot..lmao
Latest statement by Oliver(Chris) Anthony---It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000+ messages and emails I've received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on.
Im sitting in such a weird place in my life right now. I never wanted to be a full time musician, much less sit at the top of the iTunes charts. Draven from RadioWv and I filmed these tunes on my land with the hope that it may hit 300k views. I still don't quite believe what has went on since we uploaded that. It's just strange to me.
People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place.
So that being said, I have never taken the time to tell you who I actually am. Here's a formal introduction:
My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and "Oliver Anthony Music" is a dedication not only to him, but 1930's Appalachia where he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris. You can decide for yourself, either is fine.
In 2010, I dropped out of high school at age 17. I have a GED from Spruce Pine, NC. I worked multiple plant jobs in Western NC, my last being at the paper mill in McDowell county. I worked 3rd shift, 6 days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell. In 2013, I had a bad fall at work and fractured my skull. It forced me to move back home to Virginia. Due to complications from the injury, it took me 6 months or so before I could work again.
From 2014 until just a few days ago, I've worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world. My job has taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated.
In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property and still owe about $60,000 on it. I am living in a 27' camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off of craigslist for $750.
There's nothing special about me. I'm not a good musician, I'm not a very good person. I've spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it's in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away.
That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land.
When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don't let them take it away from you.
Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God and have let false idols distract us and divide us. It's a damn shame.
Thanks for this
You're amazing! God Bless 🙌 🙏
Wow, so true
Bless you. ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing this .. Oliver says it perfectly .. God bless this renewed feeling of togetherness
thats one of the best musicians ive heard in a long time and he hits it deep and meaningfull across the world not just in america we all feel it love that guy ,, subscribed
Not a country fan nor liberal, but this song speaks to all of us who are struggling who just want to provide for family/friends. We The People. Respect for giving this a fair look and sharing your views sir.
The guitar sound is bluegrass, but the voice and lyrics are straight up blues
I can't help but tear up when I hear Oliver sing you can feel his pain, and it's making me open my eyes. This man is a hero.
His real name is Chris.
yes the ((globalists)) have and want total control, they are also satanists and freemasons, they propagate and push anti-Christian, anti-Christianity, anti-Christ propaganda, ideologies and sentiments.
My advice is to convert and believe the catholic faith, the society of saint pius the tenth marian corps (the sspx-mc), is the catholic church and the true faith. Learn and pray the rosary, pray your rosary's intention for the consecration of Russia to Mary's immaculate heart, and anything else you desire. And don't say the illuminous mysteries.
This man’s music has done more to unify the people in 2 weeks than the government has done in 20 years. I think we can all relate to the raw truth spoke in “rich men north of Richmond”. On top of it all the man is extremely talented and raw. Watch his interviews and you’ll see he is just a man that wants to see people for who they are without labels. Like most people truly do.
The right man at the right time. Thank you God.
The government is the enemy. WAKE UP!!!
Govt is tryto divide us not unite us, so they can steal all our taxes and do whatever they want
You should change your pronouns to truth/facts
This is a Libertarian Anthem. Not Conservative and not progressive. Democrats aren't Liberals any longer. Classic Liberalism is modern day Libertarianism.
Careful what you vote for. If you're voting for Liberals, just remember what you're handing over in exchange.
2:38 you're exactly right. This is not a right-wing anthem and anyone who said it is didn't listen to it.
Doesn’t matter your color, political view or anything. This song is for the people. We gotta come together ❤️
To truly come together we have to be willing to acknowledge the contributions of others and give credit where it is due.
No it isn't. LOL
This clear is a song for the people. Anyone who disagrees is the problem
@@Unclerukus210 No, it isn't. Read Marx. Read Jesus.

As a person who has a blue collar husband who works himself into the ground who never complains and does what he has to do to make ends meet and not have anything to show for how HARD he works.. this song is spot on, screw the rich men north of Richmond.
Yeah, put fence around it. 😄
They will come time
I'm Scottish and this song applies just as much over here as it does elsewhere. Let's look for what we have in common, not what is different.

I am too and immediately thought the same. SNP and those in Westminster just as bad. Change needed.

Yes!!! Just popping by to say hello 😊 We are all one, truly, more than we know....❤
good to see another scottish brother
God bless you Oliver you bring tears to my eyes
I’m about a conservative as they come. We may not agree on a lot of things but we both love Jesus and like this song. I really appreciate you giving this song a chance not just going with what you heard about it. We really need to get back to being able to disagree and still respect each other and enjoy our common interests. One day we will be praising God for eternity together and none of our differences here will matter.
Hallelujah!!!
This song has no color, it speaks to everyone. I come from Portugal, and I can say that this song has also struck us here in Europe. We are living the same thing in Europe. Life is getting more and more expensive, and we work to pay politicians who are getting rich while leaving us to suffer. They refuse to pay us more to force us not to think, just to wake up, work, pay our bills, and thank them for the scraps on the table.
This song hit across the world because we are all human! Love to ya'll around the world.
The idea of the United states was to escape taxation, and theft. they have lied and distroyed the meaning of what this nation was founded on. Misinterpreting the constitution for personal gains. Socialist programs that corrupt and destroy capitalist societies. Money has no value, they can now steal your assets. PURE EVIL.
That’s good to hear. Ive heard that this song had some impact in Europe as well as the US but Ive never got confirmation
@bradycameron9179 this song touched alot of people around the world, he is describing parts of the U.S, but we all live a human experience and we can all relate! Love to you and your family!
AMEN mano. Abraco.
WE NEED TO UNITE AS A WHOLE AGAINST OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT!!!
Who elected The Government? Does anyone out there understand how our government is supposed to work for us, the taxpayer and how badly most of us have been marginalized and disenfranchised over the last 40 years? There is NO both sides to it either. Look at what republicans have done to cut people from voting(our voice), enrich themselves(trump grifting his voters so they’ll pay for his attorney expenditures), interminable wars so the war machine(anyone remember Halliburton?)just keeps on looking for cannon fodder.
By the way, this guy’s griping about how bad he’s got it but I’d be curious to know how much that guitar he’s strumming cost him. Give me a break.
The problem is the left dont think it's corrupt they think biden won 2020 and Hillary is innocent.
We need to stop electing democrats and republicans, fire the crooks in dc by replacing them with honest decent average people. The type of person who will only do it out of responsibility to the country instead of the type who seek power and notoriety. Look at the mess at home and abroad the experienced “experts” have created. It’s insane to keep these people in office.
Gonna have to get rid of the powerful commies and get a common sense guy in there running for office. So be informed when you vote.
Absolutely.
Glad you did that second song, I had not heard that and that was beautiful as well
Look at us COMMUNICATING and caring for each other in spite of race and politics...Your fellow Americans are your FAMILY...YOU are America.🇺🇸 ❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@inacook2285 you are absolutely correct! The comments on this song, from the actual video to reactions of those hearing the song for the first time, ALL have the common theme, that we are all of the American family, regardless of our ancestry.
I've also noticed this song has struck a cord with the working class around the world. 🥲❤
I love all my fellow American brothers and sisters 🇺🇸
Song made possible from this man due to privileged pampered politicians..
Biden Harris Pelosi economics and border policy, children sex trafficking and drug into US CITIES.
Absolutely true.❤
I’m a conservative from the south of all places and this song has shown how we’ve let the media make us think we’re divided. We’re not as divided as it appears and we just need to stop being liberal, conservative, black, white, Hispanic, etc and just be Americans. We’re all being extorted by a small bunch of out of touch elitists who are serving themselves and not the people who elected them.
On the topic of this song, it’s real music. It’s right to the heart and relatable. I’ve heard people talking about Oliver’s voice cracking but to me that just gives his singing character, it shows a man singing and not a machine making it “technically perfect”.
I thought it was weird when he dissed poor people for being fat and eating snacks. I thought this was supposed to be a song against the "rich men north of Richmond," not the fat broke-guys south of Richmond...
@heythere9371 dawg you're purposely trying to divide more. We all know being fat is unhealthy and it's not fair that people who chose that lifestyle get to use food stamps to buy crap food. The people who actually need food stamps are more rare than you think.
I don't think he was really dissing "fat broke people" but more talking about how the welfare system has some inherent flaws that enable people who aren't actually disabled and just want to be lazy and get a free check to spend on more than just necessities instead of taking the plethora of job opportunities that are available now. And since that is happening, people who actually need welfare like the physically or mentally handicapped and veterans that struggle with coping and living or even those who are stuggling in low income areas and could benefit and us it to work their way out of the bad situation they're in, it takes away from them getting the help they need.
@@heythere9371 fair point.
Amen. I’m a liberal from the Bible belt, and I agree with you. Nothing great was ever done in this country or in this world by just one group of people. It took all kinds working together. We may not be perfect as a species, and we forget important lessons too soon sometimes. We all have to come together over the simple things that unite 98% or more of us tho to make this life better.
I'm a 62 year old white man and people should see the system we have wants to divide us - this song speaks from the heart. I truly believe he is blessed by God to send this message (and others) to us all. God uses His people like this. At a recent concert he read from Psalm 37. Read it and know His word is encouragement to His people. God speaks through Oliver's lyrics.
God bless usa
Amen to that!
Amen 🙏🏼
Americans are so obsessed with skin collour it’s insane
You’re so level headed and non biased. I love people like you bro. We are all dealing with the same struggles man.
A whole country uniting, over a song. This is what they’re afraid of! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And yet the media trying to divide us all over the same song. So sad.
not just your country mate the whole western hemisphere. this song hits just as hard and true in the UK!
@billy2141 you’re right. My bad. Love it!
@@billy2141 I have heard some Scottish blues folk from the UK as much as 4 years ago!
I know y'all are suffering too.
Exactamundo!!!
As a hard liberal, grew up in Washington state where left wing policies are known to all, this man speaks the truth. It's not an anthem for either side. It's an anthem for all those who rightfully feel oppressed by just living in this world. This is how we can get over the silliness of politics and all come together. Song of the decade in my opinion, let's just hope this man keeps going and support everything he does. ❤
You are correct and I respect you and our diversity. This is what America is.
Freedom!
I love you and all of your friends and family. FYI, I’m Republican. Not right-wing. I can get along with a democrat in a heart beat. Except for eminem. I don’t like that punk.
I love that both sides love the song. Just curious, if you think we are over taxed and the government is corrupt why do you consider yourself a Liberal when Liberal politics regularly expand government control and raise taxes? That view seems contradictory but maybe I’m missing something. No disrespect, truly curious what your opinion is.
bro it says minors are more important then minors are more important the minors on epstien island if thats what u support then u do u but ur a horrible person
preach! I grew up in the west coast too! and this song represents most of us! Most of us working class citizens who's just trying to put food into the table. This song is all about our struggles. But hey, if it doesn't fit their narrative, their story, they/them. its right wing and racist.
@@chendry6830Trump literally gave the highest tax break to corporations, in the history of corporate tax breaks. One that was permanent while the middle class tax break lasted 2 years. But yeah "democrats" and such.
As a non American this song has hit the whole world
Hope this unites all of you
I am canadian and i can relate 100%
The people of the world need this. We are all in this nightmare.
Hope we do unite. We need this
You’re a libertarian like me brother. We don’t want the government on our ass. I respect u so much. Take it easy g.
I'm not American, but this song hit me pretty damn hard. This isnt about what political side you're on.. this is about ALL of us working people getting absolutely fucked by the elites and politicians that run our countries
Amen
It's sad that someone who isn't even American gets this song but these ppl who are blessed to live here and not have to worry about paying thier bills see it as a hateful or racist song. The fact that the song has exploded like it has tho gives me hope more and more ppl are waking up.
You nailed it!!!!👍🏼
Exactly!
God bless you, hope to have you help fight the next reich
This song should resonate with every American no matter your political views. That’s why it’s so powerful
Anyone who is angry at this song has trouble accepting the truth. This song describes the brutal times we are living in.
This s is a song for the people that our country needs right now. Hits me right on the heart
Thank you for being a black liberal and taking a minute realize we aren't as divided as the media wants us to think we are.. I'm straight out of the hills of Kentucky and don't judge anyone based on color or beliefs.. We are all just trying to get by... I'm just an old soul, living in the new world.. take care..
were divided but that might not be forever and they will account for their corruption and malfeasance and maybe it wont make the world right but it will bring to justice some of the elites who have trafficked in phony racial justice politics....
DAMN RIGHT WE ALL BLEED THE SAME.
this was already well known that rednecks are like 90% away from becoming communists but shit themselves with people who identify as such. fox news rotted y'alls brains
You gotta start judging people based on their beliefs. They believe kids should cut off their genitals.
The media is the true evil and dividing factor of modern civilization. They create the story, the narrative, the problems, and solutions as they see fit.
To the people saying "I don't normally like country music, but this song speaks to me." That's because this isn't a country song, it's a folk song.
Couldn't have said it better
Correct. This isn't country music it's folk/Appalachian music. Not enough people realize this.
Man that's mountain folk not Country...
No, the problem is most ppl today relate country music to that bro pop crap country coming out of Nashville. That shit is NOT country.
Sounds like some prejudice people spreading their bigotry about "country music"! God forbid you would like THAT kind of music!
Man, one of the most overlooked lines in this song is, “I wish politicians would look out for MINERS and not just MINORS ON AN ISLAND!” Love the line & love the direct dig at those Epstein connections.
I love it as well for the same reason!... problem is I think that that's why they are saying it's a "right wing anthe." They are misinterpreting his meaning. Instead of realizing the song is about unity. That "ALL" rich men north of Richmond want total control. They only see their side.
I don't think it's overlooked at all. I've seen many comments about it.
i think my favorite line is “if you’re 5ft 3, and you’re 300lbs, taxes ought not pay for your bags of fudge rounds”
I’m in tears, reading comments..look at us all coming together what they didn’t want..my heart is so full and I love all of you I don’t care what political side you on..we sufferin..this man’s soul be singin’ we feel his pain ..OA’s soul sang and we felt it. I’m on your side on the peoples ..we got each other through this dark time in the world. ❤
And even with that, look at all the asshats tryin, as hard as they can, to stop the *coming together* that happened organically from this song. Some people will destroy anything.
❤ the unity in these comments feel real, I love it too!
White male here, I hope all eyes open to the words of this song. We’ve been separated by outside forces, yet we’re closer than most know. Love and respect all. We are not enemies.
I found myself just pouring tears reading these comments too. I can’t explain why it hit me so hard. It’s just unbelievable how anointed this song is and how hardship brings us all together. No matter the race or ethnicity. We are all God’s creation, made in His image. I love this message.
I say we all we got we all we need. This country is not as divided as the politicians and news wants us to think. Look how close the elections always are that shows we aren’t as divided.
This is the working man anthem. There is no R or L in this song. Most of the country is working paycheck to paycheck and politicians in Washington DC (rich men north of Richmond) don't care about them.
That is the most outrageous bs. The USA always lived good. And now America lives good. This attempt to present himself as oh so poor working man exploited by the evil govn'ment is downright cringy. There is no R or D (why L?) in this song? The hell there is not! This song all about politics. This song would never be advertised when Anthony's and his bakers idol Trump was in the office. Then the shoe was on the other leg and everybody was supposed to praise Trump the Great. This is not about music. This is all about politics.
@@alexanderdvorkin8764you're braindead.
@@alexanderdvorkin8764 you're embarassing.
Go post somewhere else if you feel that.
You must be one of the Rich men North of Richmond.
The media and the rich men north of Richmond are working hard to squash this music because it’s a song of the people, regardless of ethnicity or background. Their worst fear is for Americans to be unified and standing together as one. Great review and great music!
You got that completely correct. The politicians work very hard to keep us divided, they fear a united people
And I see it my man, I’ve read countless amounts of articles trying to diminish this song. Make it about left or right, ETC. it’s truly sad .,
You're right. Think about all the times we've united against evil within our nation and what happened? Same old rich men North of Richmond (this includes the founding fathers). Civil War & Reconstruction...ended. Civil Rights movement...leaders shot. Black Lives Matter is categorized as a hate group when those doing the violence (less than 7% of protests) were officers and instigators, and opportunists. Those people marching true to the actual cause were not violent and did not steal, which was the vast majority of protesters.
Nobody is trying to quash anything.
@@christinehanson7579 and the sky is neon green right?

There's something in Oliver Anthony's voice that seems like a throwback to the early Appalachian style music from long ago. He has such feeling and soul in his music, it's phenomenal. It just reaches in and grabs your heart and your gut and shakes you loose from your composure until your emotions well up inside you.
Oliver Anthony is actually his grandad's name and named his music after him in honor as his was a old school Appalachian mountain man and into the old Appalachian music. Your instincts were right. He's actual name is Christopher i believe.

As a libertarian I agree with this song and agree with you brother. This song should bring people together not divide. We are stronger together
The sad thing is is that people call themselves liberals but you don't see that the lawmakers the ones that have been making the decisions in this country have been the Democrats. Now they want to throw you in prison for using the wrong pronoun. We all need to come together respect each other's lives Let each one live is they may but do the best for this country. They want to keep us divided on all of this stuff that we see running rampant in our country today so we don't see what they are doing behind the scenes! Because if they can keep us divided on race and sexuality and gender then we don't see what they are doing! I've come to thank that it's not even about liberal and conservative it's against the evil that's in this country and in this world
that's why the media is trashing it
gonna be honest with you, libertarianism isnt the way either. libertarianism enables many of the issues we're facing today. they're incredibly pro-company and pro corporate. you're being mislead
The media divides. I believe we all want the same thing regardless of political affiliation. The quicker people ignore narratives on either “side” of the aisle the quicker they’ll realize we are the same.
@@xWrathx67the core principles of libertarians are the core principles of the vast majority of Americans. Leave us alone, let us live our lives and stop taxing us to death.
Personally I'm a conservative but I like hearing both sides. The media tends to over exaggerate things to fit their own agenda, be it left or right. This song is not what the media is painting it as. Props to you for checking it out instead of just reading the headlines.
