You Missed

Tom MacDonald's song "You Missed" is a raw and unfiltered critique of contemporary political and social issues in the United States. The lyrics delve into the contentious atmosphere surrounding progressivism, identity politics, and the perceived hypocrisy of the left. MacDonald begins by addressing the changes in societal norms, particularly around gender and race, suggesting that these shifts have led to increased division rather than unity. He accuses progressives of wanting chaos and control, rather than genuine peace and equality.

The song also touches on the attempted assassination of a political figure, presumably Donald Trump, and the reaction it garnered on social media. MacDonald expresses his disillusionment with the left, whom he once thought were merely misguided but now views as malevolent. He criticizes the celebration of violence and the double standards he perceives in the left's advocacy for tolerance and equality. The chorus, "Thank God the left can't aim," underscores his relief that the attempt was unsuccessful, while also highlighting the absurdity and danger of such extreme actions.

MacDonald further critiques the left's stance on various issues, from drug policies to border control, and the perceived ineffectiveness of the current administration. He questions the logic behind trusting certain scientific and political narratives, suggesting that they serve ulterior motives. The repeated refrain, "Bitch, you missed," serves as a defiant declaration against those who, in his view, are trying to undermine the values of freedom and democracy. The song is a powerful expression of frustration and resistance, encapsulating the deep political and cultural rifts in modern America.
