#3I would wager it struck a chord with more than "conservative pundits". Not only judging by its popularity, but messaging. It's a song about class struggle, not party politics. There are lots of people on both sides who've been hit hard economically. And even those that are doing fine can relate to not feeling represented by politicians in DC.
Oh, and the guy's voice is awesome.

Yeah, the fed money printer made a lot of really wealthy people even more wealthy, while the ruling class mocked the idea of it being inflationary (bald faced lying).
And yet here we are with food and housing out of control, and the only people suffering are the poor and middle class. That song speaks to a lot of people.

Yeah, the fudge round lyric is one of those typical conservative talking point comments, but the rest of his message is about class struggle and I think many people can appreciate the frustration found in them. The guy seems like a good bean but with a conservative upbringing. Most people should be focused on how washington fails them.
I'm partial to this one.

Full disclosure: I grew up in Appalachia so this is my type of music and I'm sure many/most people don't feel this way but I feel for the plight of my people even if they are idiots sometime. Christopher doesn't consider himself appalachian though. He's from piedmont.

I haven't listened to the song, but if it alludes to politicians and pedophilia, that's a QAnon reference, which would put it firmly on one side of the political spectrum...

How can you still think this is a conspiracy after Epstein?

It's good except all the fat phobia and hate for people on welfare. So no, it's not about class struggle. It's about rich politicians who help out fat welfare slobs instead of hard working people like himself. It's a conservative fiction.
Anthony claims he is center, but center in US means right-wing everywhere else.
Until Anthony makes a song about the Rich Men south of Richmond, lets wait and see about the class thing.
He did make a recent video called "Moving Forward" where he talked about how there used to be a sense of community and that people now are very disconnected from each other. He talks about how you need to help your neighbor even if they are different than you. And that we need positivity and not hate. It's a great message.
His message about diversity is excellent and I'm glad he is pushing that. I think he probably realized he attracted the wrong crowd.
