    Hello and welcome Dutch Uncle,

    I'm glad you found us. It seems online discussions may take on a new importance with social distancing. I am so glad we have this medium to interface with one another. (I don't do the FB thing.)

The song didn't do a lot for me the first time I heard it so I found the video and the lyrics to dig a little deeper. After a few times through, it began to grow on me. I like it. I think it's got the makings of being something great. Time will tell.

The double-standard of Trump supporters is as epic as it gets - it needs a stronger term than "double standard."
    Without message-manipulation there wouldn't be much to DT.

    It is mind-boggling how people can become so removed from reality as American conservatives have.

    No, the listeners are not chauvinistic. This new Dixie Cunts' song represent what's wrong with a lot of women in country music, they hate men. I don't care to listen to female chauvinists singing songs inspired by their misandry.
    Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.

    Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
    Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.

    There was nothing to be vindicated from. Maines did the right thing when she spoke out against the wrong war at the wrong time and the wrong place. And we had the wrong president then, too! The state of Florida rigged the vote with an unconstitutional voter roll purge. Gore would have won.

    After a long, long hiatus, the Dixie Chicks are finally back. The country-pop trio have released “Gaslighter,” the lead single from their upcoming album of the same name, and their first since 2006.

    Co-written with and produced by Jack Antonoff, “Gaslighter” is a fiery anthem inspired by divorce, particularly Natalie Maines’ prolonged legal battle to separate from her ex-husband. “Gaslighter/Denier/Doing anything to get your ass farther,” the Chicks belt out on the chorus. “Gaslighter/Big-timer/Repeating all of the mistakes of your father.”"

    Welcome back, Dixie Chicks.

    We missed you!

    Gaslighter Lyrics
    From Your link to the lyrics:

    Natalie Maines said about this track in an interview with Zane Lowe, "It was the first song we wrote with Jack Antonoff. At the time we thought we thought we were gonna write with a bunch of different people and get different producers and we wrote with him." "Gaslighter" was inspired by Maines' divorce from actor Adrian Pasdar.

    Well, I guess that explains who the song was written about.

    Apparently, it is mere coincidence that it also describes Donald to a T.

    And we have to wonder what most Dixie Chicks fans are going to think about the song.

    It has come along at a very precipitous time in his presidency.
