I have a feeling it will go the same route as Happy Now. Inspired by Obama but the word "Election" isn't said. It all depends on how specific he gets with the subject matter. Unbroken could have easily been written alluding to PTSD in the military but instead was a direct hammer on the nail. If we have more songs written like that, yeah it's going to sound dated.

But if it's taken from a middle of the road perspective, it will still be problems happening. Immigration will still be an issue in October of 2020 etc. He's not stupid enough to say Trump on the albums.
