Watch house, Tyler Childers, Turnpike, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton, and Sturgill Simpson are all left leaning or progressive btw if anyone is interested in giving country music that doesn’t sound like tractor rap a try

I feel like a lot of classic country is pretty inoffensive in terms of leaning either way. They’re drinking beer and missing their ex man

Country music is about bootlegging and shooting cops . American fascism trades in the aesthetics of patriotism, which in the aftermath of 911 subsumed some of the pop music genre that overlapped with country a bit.

There is progressive leaning country. For example Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson

Outlaw country and modern folks like Tyler Childers and our treasure Ms Dolly are all wonderful to listen and are progressive

Its kind of regional whether the classic country will be offensive. Southerners? It certainly can be.

Exactly. Tons of people write it off but country was VERY anti-establishment for a time

Still is as long as you aren’t listening to contemporary bullshit. Childers got canceled a few years back for releasing a song that had the message of “hey let’s like kinda try to put ourselves in the shoes of black Americans”
