Um… Wow. I’ve heard this song since about 1975 and never, not once, thought the guy singing was or pretended to be conservative. Rather, he’s complaining about the conservatives’ reaction to people who are different. Always stupid, always the same.
EXACTLY! I think the 2nd verse makes that meaning quite clear:
Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, "Is it woman, is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered so you don't dare make a stand
The guy said ….“This song is so fucking gay. Redneck trucker maga retard anthem”
Which sounds totally contradictory anyway, but if you know literally ONE DAMN THING about who Bob Seger is, the song is obviously autobiographical. It came out in the early 70s and he’d already been performing for a decade or so by that point. My mom grew up in Ann Arbor, MI, around that time, so I’ve heard the history, lol.
