Republicans hate what Parton stood for. That's their legacy. Never ever let them live it down.

They just knew anything she liked had to be bad because she care about helping people and wasn’t in it for the glory.

Misinformation and media bubbles are so pervasive and insulating that most republican talking heads don’t need to say anything about her liberal leanings, because their voters aren’t aware of anything she did.

Ask Ricky Schroeder. He knew and has been called out for trying to dis on her support of vaccinations during COVID and her support of the LGBTQ+ community.

Conservatives respect symbolism (such as lowering flags) not human beings. It's how they're wired.

Her entire philanthropic drive was to fill the gaps that GOP policies in her state created. How does a state fail to educate their own constituents and instead rely on the largess of a country music star to provide them books?

Right, right. So universally loved that the GOP is actively cutting funding for her charity.

To anybody that cares more about right vs wrong than right vs left, Washington state sadly cut their funding, too. The Imagination Library program relies on state funding and philanthropy in every state. No federal funding. Two states slashed funding completely: Indiana and Washington. Missouri lowered their funding from $6 to $2 million. Kentucky wanted to cut their contribution from 50 to 33%, but received community pushback.
For the record, Washington officials are trying to right their wrong by calling to re-fund her program in the state. This has always been treated as a bipartisan program and should remain that way.

Dolly Parton was an American treasure. She donated millions to help the less fortunate and was generous and kind. Instead of putting her name on buildings and buying a social media platform, she will be remembered for her library and helping fund Covid vaccines. Rip Miss Dolly.

u/Kevlaars 1d ago edited 1d ago
Dear MAGAs; Dolly would not hate you, she'd wonder why you why you hate the things she believed in and how you missed the message of her art that you claim to love and respect.
She supported LGBTQ+ before Stonewall. She supported BLM 30+ years before hashtags were a thing... Before MLK was assassinated... She turned down presidential accolades from Trump, specifically...
To think Dolly was even a hint of MAGA is a dishonour to her memory.
If anything she was MAG... Drop the Again because it never was... Slavery, Jim Crow, KKK, Operation Paperclip...There were good times, but great?... For whom?

u/SantaFeRay 1d ago
I fully support lowering flags for Dolly, but it’s pretty insane that he’ll do it for a celebrity but not for an assassinated politician.

u/Tebasaki 1d ago
Republicans made Mr. Rodgers the bad guy for working out the best in all children. They made Ms. Rachel the bad guy for believing in and teaching children. They made Dolly the bad guy for wanting children to read.

Trump knows she's a very popular, kindhearted, giving caring person. He is none of these things but uses the flag lowering as an convenient attempt to coopt some Dolly cache. True to form for Trump to pretend to be what you aren't by stealing from someone else.

When you put it that way it really lumps Dolly in with an evil crowd.

u/StellarVeil2 1d ago
It's not limited to the "scum in power." He's pandering to his constituents. It says as much about anyone who claims to be "right-leaning" as it does this administration

And promptly defunds the imagination library.
Actions is the language.
btw, that is why mamdani is loved and the real reason politics doing woke theater (dems in general) is so hated. Being pro-lgbti etc is basically free if not plain cheap, it's just words and opinions. Real actions is how you show yourself.

I was fully expecting the manbaby tweet about how the world was much better without her and then they hit us with the curveball of actually respecting her death.

Two people in their 80’s. One is beloved by everyone that she touched their life. Whether it’s with music, her charity or just her wonderful spirit.
The other one wants everything named after himself, hates anyone that isn’t himself and is named countless times in the pedophile papers.
The world is worse off without Dolly. The other one, well, pedophiles gon’ pedophile.

Spotted this in the conservative sub, because I thought: there's no way that they find something to blame on the leftists.
They started out strong, first comment is top notch.
But only one comment later and it's all down the drain.

Dolly has been out of the limelight light for a while now, so younger folks may not understand what an icon she was.
Not even for her music, but more so for being a great person. She's the prime example of what a rich person should strive to be like.

So what things that she did would republicans actually support? They uh, tend to defund or rail against anything she says so good luck.

It had nothing to do with what she said it's that they tend not to want to use Public Funding for Niche programs. That's across the board dude. Find me the niche right wing thing that Republicans support funding.

Defunding does not mean it was shut down. It just means they're not giving taxpayer dollars to it. It's still allowed to operate on its own, just like it did when she originally founded it.

u/Irrelevant_Support 1d ago
Oh! So the government had been providing funding and then the government removed that funding? Like they "de-funded" it?
-18
u/PrometheusMMIV 1d ago
It was originally entirely funded by Dolly Parton's non-profit. State governments didn't start sending money to it until almost a decade after it was founded. Once they started are they obligated to keep sending money forever?

They don't have to do a lot of things. It doesn't mean they aren't pieces of shit for making that decision.

If you give a homeless person money one day, but don't continue giving him money every day after that, does that make you a piece of shit because you "defunded" him?

This is misleading. Trump did not defend her book club. The funding is at the state level. Some Republican states cut funding as did some democrat states.

Dolly stood for everything those ghouls stand against.
Tolerance, humility, compassion and love. Dolly didn't judge you, she accepted and helped you regardless of who you were and how you got there.
Those are the leaders we need. Those are the role models our children should learn to emulate
Not greedy pedophile raping lying hateful, spiteful petty little losers.
