Sorry but this song has nothing to do with politics. This song represents history. That is my take and by the way I do not represent any politcal party.
Historical note: This song has been wrought with politics almost since it's inception. Both the Union and Confederacy troops changed the lyrics to reflect their viewpoint during the Civil war. And, the lyrics have gone through many revisions since its inception. Originally it was written as a critique of the institution of slavery in the South, however Southerners changed lyrics to reflect pride and the war effort. In a bit of irony Dixie (or DixieLand) was written by gentleman from Ohio for minstrel shows.
Origins matter little.
Prior to the Revolutionary War, British soldiers sung an earlier version of "Yankee Doodle" to mock Yankee soldiers.
It is now a quintessential patriotic American song.
