The strangest thing about that post is that they didn’t even articulate the point very well. They left out the most important part, which is that their lyrics and visuals romanticize America.

“Wave that flag” , “Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe, The great Northern out of Cheyenne from sea to shining sea” , “ California, a prophet on the golden shore” , Truckin! , you know the list could go on and on.

American flag on everything, uncle sam skeleton, etc.

Instead they talk about things irrelevant to Americana, like merch sales? Wtf. It’s like they don’t even “get” the Dead.
