    This is why they’re so good at what they do and are winning. They never take a loss. They constantly flip these things to their advantage. The left just yell “Fuck off nazi scum” for the millionth time and then wait for tomorrows news to forget about the thing that pissed them off yesterday. Like fucking goldfish. When was the last time the left did something like this?

    The left can’t even manage to sway the charts in any meaningful way. It’s not like people are sharing his music and giving him a bump. Cause why would we ever do that. Rally around someone. Just passively watch and comment hoping for some victory to just materialize on it’s own.

    hahaha I just scrolled down after posting this and the second comment is “Just blatant, bald faced racism. Just non stop racism from these nazi loving racists.” never fucking change guys, never change.

    He’s fucking American, I genuinely don’t even understand their issue with him is. I get that it’s just racism but how do they rationalise it without admitting its just racism? What are their talking points because it makes no sense

        I totally get that but usually they have some talking point to avoid directly admitting that

          This is just the mask-off, “We don’t care that he’s a US citizen…he’s not white”, kind of racism. They aren’t even pretending that there’s more to it at this point.

              Yes, but many Americans don’t know that. The name is Spanish. Hell, so many Americans don’t realize that New Mexico is a state in their own country.

                And it wasn’t until the U.S. invaded Mexico and forced it to cede large swaths of its territory. Same with California, Arizona, Nevada, etc.

                Puerto Rico didn’t exactly beg to be annexed, either.

                I think a lot of this panic about Latin American people illegally taking over the United States stems from repressed colonial guilt.

                  It’s more based on fear, since the US Latin population seem to be maintaining a healthy birth rate, while the white people seem to have either lost wood, can’t find the right hole, or have 'nads packed with PFAS. In some US states, whites are already a minority, and the various schemes to impose minority rule are unstable and require increasing effort as demographics keep on shifting.

    What’s the complaint? That it’s not an American performing?

    The Who performed at the Superbowl before. They’re not American…

    EDIT: Yes, I know he’s American. I’m trying to understand what these misinformed people are claiming to be upset about. They’re not even consistent, which suggests that they’re BSing about their reason.

        I wish they would just admit it. If you have to lie about what’s upsetting you, you should realize your reasoning for being upset is probably BS.

          I’m pretty sure they think they are annoying it because that’s what they think “not American” is. Same reason why they didn’t give a fuck when white Europeans with songs in English were there.
