Because she's in Country Music I suppose. She seems to be more outspoken as she's gotten older. Perhaps more of a who cares at this point attitude.

I can't imagine that she's a repub. Or at least that she's been one at any point in the last 30 years.

AKA "Unknown Hinson" over her decision to remove "Dixie" from the name of a Dollywood restaurant. It cost Baker multiple jobs and endorsements, but I imagine the culture-warrior cult probably threw a bunch of shit at Parton over it. If she was ever Republican, she's probably had second thoughts.

Baker's a damn fool. Having grown up around that sort of trash I loved the satire of Squidbillies; intentionally or not Dan Halen was a flawless warning about Donald Trump.

....one of the best things to originate from my red state, that’s for sure. She is a national treasure.

Thank you, Dolly, for your classy and lovely words about RBG. Both of you have given us years of your talent, hard work, chutzpah, and strength. I stand in awe of you both. And I am grateful to have occupied this planet while you both inhabited it.

There is a mural in Nashville with her quote of "Of course black lives matter. Do you think your skinny white ass is the only one that matters?.
She is one of the few things that I can be proud of being from East Tennessee.
