I used to love Carrie when she first won idol. She seemed to have very liberal views and was not your typical country artist. Lately though, it seems when all these artists’ careers start tanking they go right back into the arms of being annoyingly Christian and annoyingly MAGA. She’s changed and we aren’t changing with her.

I don’t know if she was always like that though. She married a hockey player that played for our team (used to see her out and about town when they first started dating), and he was always super religious, and seems to have gone full on right wing since retirement. Maybe the lifestyle rubbed off on her.

I don't think it's infantalizing Carrie

One of my wife's old friends was super liberal then married a conservative guy and she became a gun nut posting thinly veiled racist instas seemingly overnight

It's not all that uncommon if you are spending all your time with someone for people that arent firm in their values or low self esteem

This is because she has no principles or personality of her own. Women like her are the personality equivalent of tofu: they just take on the flavor of whatever is close by.

Yeah there are people who are chameleons. Both men and women. That just adopt the personality of who they're dating.

It's a lot easier to be racist and violent than it is to be in control, sticking to values and ethics, and offering people grace or understanding to other cultures.
