American country music embraces Democrat protest song (2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
us and them
'protest song' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'american country music embraces democrat' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'country music' becomes 'anthem' (I've seen this in another clue).
'embraces' indicates putting letters inside.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'anthem' placed around 'd' is 'andthem'.
'us'+'andthem'='US AND THEM'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
