The fact that Democrats responded with visceral dislike to a song (Rich Men North of Richmond by Oliver Anthony) that expressed the complicated populist views of an actual working-class person shows how unwelcoming the party has become to actual working-class people

The basis of their dislike is pretty straightforward. To acknowledge that his perspective is valid would be to admit that they recognize they are controlled and are okay with that. They cannot admit that they are happy living as controlled units in a totalitarian machine.

Everyone seems to like Fast Car by Luke Combs, which is a cover of Tracy Chapman's song. The song is doing very well on the country western chart. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr7oYjnt3bM

...and Democrats still responded with visceral dislike to Anthony's song? What's your point?

Don't pretend they suddenly like country music. "Oh, I like every kind of music. Except country."

I just thought it was interesting that a folk-rock song by Tracy Chapman in 1988 who is Black made it to the top of Billboard's Country Airplay chart with Luke Combs doing the cover in 2023.

...and this relates to Democrats utterly despising the working class in general and country music specifically in what way exactly?
