I'm not on Tic Toc but I just read on NPR that the T* supporters are using a song by The Chicks

Not Ready to make Nice. Wondering if any subscribers have seen this n what the Chicks have to say

1. It's like he's doing it on purpose now. Pretty sure it was ass-holes like Trump that were the point of this song.

Now, they’re using it for TSF. I hope the Democratic convention has them on for entertainment..that would be just great

They would not appreciate that Shitler misappropriated their song.

Clear Channel had rallies where a bulldozer trashed their CDs... I'll bet a hundred dollars they were there cheering it on.

fans for criticizing GW Bush for the Iraq War.
The song is now 2O years old. It’s been playing non-stop with women lip-syncing the words. Also leftists women shutting down right wing women on TikTok who are also singing this song. There’s a battle going on with leftist women explaining that right wingers were the ones who made the Dixie Chicks suffer and they’re not allowed to sing the song.

It is one of the worst instances of total lack of self-awareness you can imagine. That song is a visceral condemnation of exactly them.
