3. I got over his juvenile, pseudo-patriotic musical crap pretty much as soon as I was no longer a juvenile.

Since then, any time I hear "Proud To Be..." tuning up, I think "Oh, shit! Not this again!..."

4. IMO, it takes a lot to lose country music fans.

Garth Brooks got hit with accusations from his former hair and makeup artist that he sexually assaulted her. Bet he doesn't lose one fan.

LeAnn Rimes married Dean Sheremet as soon as she reached the age of majority. Divorced seven years later. A little after that, she had an extramarital affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, whom she later married.

And much more.

Country music fans don't care (as long as their heroes don't denounce Trump).

Embraced by those don’t give a shit about freedom but only care about their privilege. Fuck them and fuck him.

Decades ago, I remember feeling one with the crowd at an Oklahoma rodeo when we all sang along to the speakers blaring the tune. Now when I hear 'rodeo' I worry for the treatment of the animals and those foolhardy riders. 😪 Now when I hear the Greenwood Trump anthem, I want to 🤮

you’ll believe he’s a “patriot” who will “defend Her still today.” As if he ever defended his country before recording that crap.

Full disclosure. I had to play that thing in hot rotation when it was a hit. I hated it after about three plays.

Arcade NY - ran interference for him.between his girlfriend and side chick. I didn't realize what I was doing until my then Fiance explained it to me. Other than being a ho - nice guy and a lot of fun. Up there with Charlie Daniels, Doug Stone and Symons Judd for shenanigans.

Too bad he's a douche now.

12. That song is the worst ever written and has been around for decades.

So his crappiness has long predated Trump.

"God Bless the USA" is a shitty, shitty song. Worse than God Bless America, which is also a bad song.

He's been a known right-winger for decades. His song was used at the 1984 RNC.

Most of his fans are probably just fine with Trump.

14. All I'm sure of is that what voice he once had, he has no longer

That was really pitiful. I feel bad for him. If you love to sing and your voice goes it would be pretty damn heartbreaking I think.

15. They used to play that dickhead's "God Bless the USA" before every high school football game where I grew up.

Never our National Anthem, always that fuckstick's song. I've had an extreme dislike for him for decades because of that.
