Right- if you want to be part of the “in” group in those circles, all that stuff essentially comes with it. I have yet to meet an wine drinking, socially liberal Episcopalian Lady Gaga fan who is also a climate change denier. ---

I think that would be good. I really _hope_ that it is NOT the case that folks in the future will look back at those old photos of smiling whites around a lynching and say "yep, now we’re back where we’re supposed to be, just like back then, as they stand around a lynching, smiling. ---

You never met my beloved late sister, who checked all the boxes for a socially liberal Episcopalian right up until she decided Hillary was a crook and climate change didn’t exist. As for liberal conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers seem to cross all ideological lines. ---

Well I think that we have a significant portion of the US who feel that way now, they have their own party and red hats and everything. But I’m talking post collapse and I use the term we to mean humanity, not Americans. ---

I just chose her because on the whole, _A Star is Born_ aside, her body of work is about as far from country music as I could imagine. I could have said Beyonce, Wu-Tang Clan, Slayer, etc… and the point’s the same- their fans don’t usually overlap too much with country fans. ---
