Then came a song that I am surprised has not been mentioned more in coverage of the event: Dixie, as sung by Elvis Presley. Yes, it was part of the hip-swinging singers cover of American Trilogy, a three-song medley. But it was still Dixie, the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy! Played at a presidential campaign event in the year 2024! Without anyone commenting on it!
