There’s a new song that should be scaring Lefties far more than the phantom white supremacists lurking around the corner or the insurrectionists under their beds. We are witnessing a genuine lightning-in-a-bottle moment right before our eyes, as a desperate young man exquisitely captures the angst of America’s normals. Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” is a gut-punch of despair, born of decades of ratcheting, idiotic policies wringing the common sense, community, and opportunity out of this country.
“A song came to life and took flight on YouTube this week. It was posted on August 8, and by late Friday it already had 3.1 million views. It hit #1 on iTunes,” wrote my PJ Media colleague Jeff Reynolds on Saturday. (As of this writing, the number of views is 9.4 million and climbing.) “Some young guy nobody ever heard of sang a song in the woods in front of his deer stand, with his dogs lying at his feet, and it immediately captured the soul of America.”
The turnout at Anthony’s first-ever gig — which the singer aptly referred to as “this moment in history” — wasn’t too shabby, either…
