(16,539 posts)Martina McBride has been outspoken in her support of LGBT rights and the Black Lives Matters protests. One of her most iconic hits is Independence Day (don't let the title fool you). Lyrics were written by Gretchen Peters
https://genius.com/Martina-mcbride-independence-day-lyrics
"[Verse 1]
Well, she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So, I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day
[Verse 2]
Well, word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered, some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
When time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day
[Chorus]
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
[Verse 3]
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now, I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day
[Chorus]
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day
[Outro]
Roll the stone away
It's Independence Day"

(8,433 posts)More than likely he's just clueless or doesn't care about the rest of the song not fitting the narrative. Y'know, if she was a good wife he wouldn't have had to hit her.

He must not have liked it, as it seems to now be removed from the internets. I thought it was funny

(134,265 posts)your explanation was very thoughtful, WHAT IN THE F'n HELL were you thinking in the first place??? NOTHING connected to the orange pedophile and wannabe dictator is "nonpolitical", regardless of what he or his toadies might say.
