The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) didn’t tank their career for that kind of slander.

Real Country singers couldn't be more opposite to MAGA. I mean, could you ever imagine Cash simping for this lot?

Real country died out a long time ago at least in the mainstream.

Willie Nelson?

Failed pop stars turned country is MAGA.

Do you think country music artists are mostly conservative?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think they'll portray themselves as conservatives whether they are or aren't. Mainstream artists typically have corporate-crafted personas that they have to stick to in order to stay relevant for their target demographic.

I think you are right. I also think a lot of traits that country music stars portray are seen as conservative type traits.

Cowboy hat and boots, dirt road, cold beer and so forth.
