My daughter believes his politics represents those of the poor, working class, deplorables that the ruling class want us to believe is the biggest threat to our democracy. She told me the line about ‘the obese milking welfare’ is a racist dog whistle.

I am more inclined to believe he is making a statement about the means by which the ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ prioritizes the re-distribution of wealth to secure their own positions, but i am a boomer.

There are many ways to lay the blame for the obese situation. I don’t particularly believe one more than another. It does make sense to me that the churn those beliefs produce is more responsible for change than the beliefs themselves. Churning something new is the work of creators and songwriters. Let us keep churning and watch what happens.
