Pfft...
That song is all about male privilege - "rich MEN of richmond"
Seriously?

The song is sexist.
He must think that only "men" have the intelligence, drive, focus, and ambition to succeed in national level politics. Has he forgotten about great aMEruhkins with names like Warren, Harris, Murkowski, Fienstein, Clinton, Collins, Jackson-Lee, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, and Pelosi.

The song is transphobic.
Is he afraid to acknowledge that some of the highest positions in our current government are held by transgender professionals north of Richmond and not just "men" North of Richmond?

The song is xenophobic.
He fails to acknowledge that in addition to rich NORTH of Richmond there might be politicians living east, west and south of Richmond as well as those from other parts of the world that have found their way into national level aMErickin polyticks.
Of course he probably just thinks everyone in the South is friendly, generous, and honorable - only those dirty Northerners are crooked...

Shouldn't the song be titled, "Financially Well Off Multicultural Persons of Nonspecific Gender Identity Maintaining Living Quarters Near Richmond"



I just don't know - I'm going to have to think long and hard on this one. I'll have to do some research to see how George Snuffaluagus says I should feel about it.
