Conservatives loved Dolly yet stand against everything she valued. It’s interesting.

They don’t stand against EVERYTHING she valued. True, she did philanthropy, but Dollywood paid workers substandard wages + she was a fan of the US military and Israel. These are all conservative values (which I myself am against)

The only “value” a lot of them have is just whiteness

Philanthropy is a conservative value as well

Philanthropy is a value shared by most of everyone. However, philanthropy as a cure for society’s ills—that is, instead of addressing the things that put people in such a disadvantageous position as to need philanthropy—is a right wing value shared by liberals and conservatives alike. This is embodied in the quote by Hélder Câmara, “When I feed the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist”
