Part 5/13:
A focal point of the discussion revolved around Bryan's audience and their political awareness. It was questioned whether the average country music fan—perceived as largely apolitical or centrist—would connect the song's lyrics with broader political issues such as immigration and law enforcement. In earlier discussions, it was suggested that Bryan's fans may not be deeply engaged in political debates, which complicates the impact of his lyrics.
The debate also touched on whether artists should involve themselves in politicized content, especially if their fanbase is unlikely to interpret it as intended. Some argued that Bryan's move was a miscalculation, considering the backlash from both sides of the political spectrum.
