The new song by Kid Rock is the the manifesto for Trump-o-fascist movement. It presents, better than any political tract ever could, the core beliefs in selfishness, vanity and the contemptuous rejection of all social conscience and responsibility. It is the cry in the wilderness of the American settler colonialist entering the Cumberland Gap in 1800 and screaming, as Kid Rock does in the chorus, "Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live!" Manhood as an eternal teenage bender. Manhood as monad. Politics and citizenship means to jet into the heavens on a rocket in the shape of a giant hand flipping the bird. In the end, for Kid Rock and Trump-o-fascism, there is only the self - the self and a gigantic fuck you to every attempt to ask it to care.
