    John Fogerty über ‚Glückssohn‘, der von Konservativen missverstanden wird: „Die Menschen dachten, es sei eine patriotische Ditty, die Flagge zu winken und all das zu winken, was den Zynismus und den absoluten Trotz, den ich im Song hatte, nicht wirklich verstanden hat.

      i was literally listening to this song and talking about this with my wife this morning.

      Its ironic that the song perfectly fits trump, but not in the way his media (and generally) illiterate followers think

      Isn’t it an anti Vietnam song. “ I ain’t no senator’s son“

      You have to listen to this with your ears plugged to miss the message. It’s so obvious. ??

      It’s like Starship Troopers. I love it, but knowing idiots exist who don’t understand it’s a critique and not actually advocating for that sort of mindset soaks some of the enjoyment out of it.

      Probably the same ones who didn’t realize The Boys (series) was making fun of them, or that Rage Against the Machine has always been political, but the machine is not who they think it is.

      They probably also really liked the Colbert Report.

      How about when they invited Canadas own
      Guess Who to play American Woman at the white house in the 70’a ! 🤣

      Conservatives have never been a part of culture in any way that doesn’t involve killing something or polluting the environment.

      GOP, always assuming the message is a positive, supportive one for their twisted beliefs.

    14. blueteamk087 on

      In my experience, conservatives generally don’t understand the lyrics of songs they proport to enjoy.

    15. mishma2005 on

      Please, everyone knows it’s a protest song. It’s like Reagan’s embrace of „Born in the USA“. They know, we know but they love to subvert and bend any and all art to their will

      It is literally a song about Trump aka Private Bonespurs.

      Conservatives simply have to read or listen to the lyrics to understand ots about the poor and minorities going off to Vietnam while the rich and privileged stay home.

      I would’ve been surprised years ago. Today, it’s not shocking at all MAGA thinks this song is patriotic.

    20. Hot_Secretary2665 on

      It’s crazy how nowadays we’re just expected to act like it’s normal for adults to not understand things that are obvious to 5 year olds

    21. WisestCracker on

      The entire basis of modern conservatism is only having a superficial understanding of everything.

    22. 2BFaaaaaair on

      Conservatives and not understanding, well, anything—name a more popular duo.

    23. Flat-Emergency4891 on

      God, just listen to the words. It’s a protest song. It’s a good song too.

    24. Specialist-Clue-7186 on

      I don’t really blame people for not understanding tbh.

      The instruments (and one of the best guitar riffs of all time) drown out the lyrics, the singer doesn’t enunciate his words very well, and a lot of media, especially Hollywood, have used it in war movies/programs during American patriotic moments.

      I’m very liberal and I remember reading the lyrics for the first time and being like, “oh, I completely misunderstood this” after listening to it many times.

      One big reason why so many conservatives hate art is because they’re too stupid to understand and they’re jealous that the rest of us can. When they get too much power and start doing fascism, they always go after artist they dont like (the ones who actually dont make art aimed at appeasing them)

    28. QQBearsHijacker on

      Conservatives understanding lyrical context challenge level impossible

    29. FunnTripp on

      I’ve heard covers (specifically acoustic) that give the song a completely different feeling and vibe , the lyrics really hit in a different way than the original.

    31. lawyerjsd on

      These are the same conservatives that are shocked Rage Against the Machine is a socialist band. They also love „Born in the USA“ without understanding the lyrics at all.

    32. Dont-be-a-smurf on

      HE’S LITERALLY FUCKING SINGING IT OPENLY, OUT LOUD

      It’s not like he’s singing quickly, or it’s a complicated song.

      He’s singing in plain language about class struggle and distrust for the patriotism and propaganda used by “fortunate ones” to take advantage of the poor.
