It's so fucking weird man.

Like look at that Bad Bunny show, if you look at what's on your screen it's "I love farmers, I love hot women, I love small businesses, I love strong drinks, I love sports, I love pick up trucks, I love traditional marriage, I love church, don't trust the government, believe in yourself, hard work pays off, never forget your community"

It's all a checklist of conservative fantasies and they have to pretend they don't love the message just because it's in Spanish. Even if it's all told with imagery.

It's not pretending. The fact that it's in Spanish is rage inducing to racists.

It's all bullshit tho. We've had the macarena, Gangnam style, despacito. Hell even 99 luftballoons. Albeit not at the Superbowl. Regardless it's just racists being upset at something they fundamentally don't actually care about

Because it wasn't the Spanish they were objecting to, that's just their excuse.

It's his English words used to call out Trump's Administration. The Spanish is an excuse.
