Who's Grooming Who? / Hear Oliver Out, Y'all / Mesha's Mis-Step

While the conservative right delights in Target's quarterly earnings numbers and Bud LIght's slumping sales, it's not the LGBTQIA+ getting popped in work trucks trying to meet a 14-year old girl for some "adult fun" in Cobb County. Also "get work, go broke" isn't a permanent fad, nor is it even true now. I'm begging my friends and listeners on the left: do not brush off Oliver Anthony nor the spirit behind his viral song "Rich Men North of Richmond." This Guardian piece is a touch tone-deaf and cumbersome, for example. Also newly minted Republican Meisha Mainor tried smearing "Dear Democrats" as racist AND Democrats, and not only failed, but had to apologize for it; but she's STILL doing it.
