    If I recall, it’s pretty critical of Jackson, it kind of brings the audience along with him and then shows he’s a monster and the audience, like the USA, are culpable for his actions. On the other hand it really doubles down on “populism is bad mmmkay”.

    this thread: chapos who can’t handle that art is sometimes made on a stage so they try to denounce an entire activity as liberal like a AM radio host ranting about video games

    I mean if it’s called Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson I don’t think it’s meant to portray him in a positive light. This is like an edgy teens attempt to parody Hamilton, but this was made first.
