I really dislike how skeptical and dismissive this article is, most of the paragraphs seem to be worded to suggest “conservatives think they are embattled and suppressed but actually have lucrative institutions and are backed by rich media figures” and generally dismiss the legitimacy of the voices this song represents. They attack the legitimacy of the chart-topping nature of the song by loosely suggesting it’s due to coordinated iTunes purchases. They seem to claim the Epstein reference in the song is something to do with QAnon. It’s infuriating and distracting, I’d rather get background on how the song impacts regular people and some context on its message rather than read a half-baked attempt to marginalize it as conservative whining.
