Musically, he is more like Hank Jr. Politically, he would probably consider Aldean a part of the problem being someone who foments the division (just my speculation, not saying he has said that or even hinted at it). He also turned down a big music deal because he isn't looking for that life whereas that is what Aldean was after.

Edit to add: he has stated that he is pretty much dead center on politics in a video posted the day before his viral single dropped.

Unfortunately it got the "right wing anthem" treatment right away.

Maybe I'll accidentally hear it at some point, but I'm sure one my right-wing relatives will INSIST it be played at a football watching party and tell me how great it represents what liberals are doing to 'murica.

For the reason alone I'd rather not even know the song and will avoid it...lol...even if that is not true about it.

Lastly I have always been that guy who just wont get swept up in fads, viral things, "must see" things, etc.  So anytime something like this is all over the news you can bet I'm out.  

Oliver Anthony is sick of right-wing politicians, media & influencers using his song, especially at the debate: “This song isn’t about Biden … That song was written about the people on that stage. Not just them, but definitely them.”https://t.co/c9HHmhesap
