I'm not surprised that Weird Al would have clarity/social/political awareness. I presume that he generally is that way, but generally sees his role to be about joy and fun, letting others take care of the more serious stuff that needs to get done and remaining a trusted 'brand' for people to just have some fun and joy regardless.
So yeah, I think it's pretty weird for Weird Al to be doing this performance. It suggests that things are so bad Al thinks it's warranted to put aside his general role because it's just that important.
