Worth pointing out WOTP was written and recorded in 2021 before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Maybe because the video is very reminiscent of the January 6th insurrection and seems to visualize those folk as the heroes and good guys hence Matt trying to deflect criticism with fictionalized doing some very heavy lifting. The lyric seems to be more nuanced (2nd verse seems to imply and trumpians view of themselves is wrong and somewhat ironic) but that video, oof, is at best, very very naive or ignorant of how folk would view it.
