Oliver Anthony, a country artist from Farmville, Virginia, released a single called "Rich Men North of Richmond" that resonated with struggling, every day Americans. But he was demonized in some corners by liberal media for having put out a so-called right-wing anthem. Rolling Stone Magazine published a piece about the popular single entitled, "Right Wing Influencers Just Found Their Favorite New Country Song." The piece noted that the lyrics may appeal to "right-wing influencers" in part because Anthony "rails against high taxes and the value of the dollar, but also wades into some Reagan-era talking points about welfare."
