They still don't understand the meaning of the song Fortunate Son.

The huge irony of playing it at a Trump rally.

They just know the refrain. They'd be shocked at the actual verses. They ain't pretty.

There were a lot of people who thought that Swift was serious when he wrote "A Modest Proposal". Some people can't quite sift through the nuances of satire, parody, double entrendres (they don't have to be sexual) or subtlety.

I'm glad he isn't one of the mouth breathers that bought into Cult 45 after doing that show. There were some real disappointments.
