Why would Trump order flags to be lowered for Dolly Parton and why would MAGA even mourn her?
Ever since Dolly Parton died (rest in peace to her) I have been seeing Donald Trump and MAGA morn her, even though Dolly Parton stood for everything they are against.
For example: Dolly Parton started a free book program: ‘The Imagination Library’ and it has been running for (I’m pretty sure) over 30 years. However over the past year, funding for it has been cut by Indiana and Missouri Lawmakers (who largely align with MAGA and their “ideologies”) Not only that but Dolly Parton has been a huge advocate for LGBTQ+ rights when the MAGA and our current administration have been very against LGBTQ+ rights.
For example: Dolly Parton was one to speak out against Anti LGBTQ+ laws and legislations. She spoke out against North Carolina’s 2016 ‘Bathroom Bill’ while the Trump Administration has been trying to set back the LGBTQ+ movement anyway they can.
And so I ask, why would MAGA even morn her. Her ideas would conflict with theirs and I would bet that she probably wasn’t a big fan of their movement either. Maybe it’s me being too heated with personal issues going on right now but I don’t know. I would like to hear what you all think in the comments.
