So today in "Batshit things happening during the Australian election” - the Liberal Party has dropped a rap diss track about the Prime Minister and shopping prices on Soundcloud, and for those wondering, yes it is the worst thing you will ever hear.

As if that wasn't weird enough on its own,
there's plenty of accusations circulating
that they made the song using Al, given
the bizarre choice of using an American
accent in the song, and it's been pointed
out that the cover art is parodying a Drake album cover which isn't exactly someone you want to be aligning yourself with in a rap battle right now.

Shoutout to this quote from Channel 7's
story when the song dropped:

[snippet from the article reading:
"At the time of writing, the track has one comment.  

it simply says "excretable", meaning extreme bad or unpleasant "  
[end of snippet]

It's absolutely fascinating how the right-wing is such a vacuum of creative talent. I don't know that I've ever heard a right-wing musical project which didn't make me wince for lack of quality on an objective level.

They consume everything on a purely surface level, so its impossible for them to comprehend the emotional depth and meaning behind true art. So when they try to imitate it, its incredibly basic and surface level as well.

Conservatives don't know how to create good art

small note, the image linked says "execrable", while the transcript says "excretable"
