    I took the “young men killing themselves” a bit different. It wasn’t about food but a commentary on not only suicide, but how men and masculinity have been under assault. We shouldn’t have to be ashamed or feel guilty for being men.

      ​@@enforcehuskers7770you have to be a little more specific with that they try to use race to divide when honestly its a class thing the working blue-collar worker and people but really don't have much versus the rich and wealthy politicians up north richmond. You see Trump at least understood if you want to please to do good you have to take care of them good. Like after 9/11 happen and we had to go to war Toby Keith did some patriotic songs to boost morale for military members. We got to co-exist together so we might as well take care of each other is best as possible but not just make everything a handout but you know help the one struggling to get by. And if Biden administration Bidenomics was actually doing thing wortha damn would it be no reason for this man to put this song out. And people need to wake up and stop voting with people just because you don't like the other guy I don't give a damn why you don't like them I don't give a damn everyone should just wants best for this country in the people that live here. But no have to Country don't give a s*** about that they just soft snowflakes that get hurt and look which part of the country has to suffer for it I would say the other side suffers too but tell they leave where they flee from just to bring the policies and politics with them

      Please, please do not give up hope. People are getting on their knees and turning to God. They are following the Commandments, reading the Bible, instilling respect and manners in their children and sincerely praying for every soul. This country is going to turn around because we have been so downtrodden, but realize that despair is part of the evil agenda and the only way that life is going to get better is by the hand of God. Yes, God is listening and our prayers will be answered. Keep the faith, talk and listen to God. God made you and everyone for a reason and it is not for you to have a meaningless life. Miracles are coming. May Almighty God bless everyone in His mighty and special way ❤️🙏😇🇺🇸❤️

It makes me literally tear up which RARELY HAPPENS in fact the only times I’ve cried in the last 15 years was when I lost one of my best friends whom I met while we were stationed in Alaska together almost 20 years ago, when President Trump was elected and when my dog Precious had to be put to sleep. I didn’t cry when I lost my mother, my nana, my cousin, either aunt etc. I grew up in Boston and I had two parents who were baby boomers and never cried. Yet what I’ve seen happen to this country that I LOVE SO MUCH I WOULD’VE GLADLY DIED FOR HER….makes me SICK!! WHEN DOES IT END?

    The crazy part about his second verse “We got folks in the street, who got nothing to eat, and the obese milking welfare” is that it’s true, a majority of the poor people in this country are fat in fact 35% of poor people are overweight.

    I think you misinterpreted a few things, #1 he is talking about “miners” ex. Coal miners, etc and then “minors” on the island. #2 he is talking about how the hardworking “young men” are working themselves 6 feet in the ground and or suicide, just to get taxed to the extreme just so someone that is obese on welfare can buy another box of fudge rounds and go further down the rabbit hole of obesity. The whole song is basically about how the government slaughters the working blue collar. Not being rude just offering up another perspective

      You blame Bidenomics while ignoring the fact that we're in this position due to Reganomics which further got pushed under both Bush and Trump. Trickle down doesn't work when the rich have turned the trickle into a drip. Economist consensus for the Trump "tax cuts" is: "For the wealthy, banks, and other corporations, the tax reform package was considered a lopsided victory given its significant and permanent tax cuts to corporate profits, investment income, estate tax, and more." if you're going to make it political at least do some unbiased research.

    Awesome song and awesome reaction. I don't ever leave comments but I felt this needed to be said. I love to see a fellow Virginian coming to light. I also want to touch on the part where you talked about food... I've been a vegetarian all my life, not by choice but I was born that way, I've never liked the taste, smell, or look of meat. As a vegetarian I thought I was pretty healthy as I grew up and thought I was following all the "healthy" ways of eating. I've lived with IBS my whole life and getting into my late 20's I started getting debilating pains in my knees, back, elbows, shoulders, and I started to notice severe psoriasis in my scalp. Fast forward to me now being 35 and actually learning what real healthy food is, I started to eat only alkaline organic food, with absolutly no vegetable oils and no dairy, just clean alkaline organic food. My joints no longer ache, my psoriasis is gone, I use to live in constant pain from a motorcycle accident in 2014 that broke my tibia in multiple places and it never healed. I no longer have that pain anymore and to really top it off I no longer have IBS. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW LONG I'VE GONE WITHOUT HAVING SEVERE STOMACH CRAMPS EVERY DAY UNTIL I MADE THIS CHANGE. The chemicals in modern day food take a while to catch up to you fully but our bodies show us signs along the way. Listen to your body people and follow the money. It's all about the money. Much love from Virginia ❤️
