snip-"She once told an interviewer she had gone with Trump in part because her audiences would have booed her if she had endorsed Hillary Clinton."
snip-"Trump was able to tap the feisty, often defensive spirit that has long informed the Appalachian region (broadly defined) that spawned much of what Americans came to call "country western." It is akin to the fiercely defiant spirit that animates J.D. Vance's memoir Hillbilly Elegy and that attracted Trump's endorsement of Vance's Senate candidacy in Ohio."
snip-"... when she appeared on stage in 1988 with the Republican nominee for president, George H.W. Bush... Lynn told the crowd and the cameras that looking at Bush was "looking at country." And in case there was any doubt, she leaned into the microphone and proclaimed: "I know George Bush, and he is country."
More there.
I did not realize much of this history.

But once she secured the bag, she forgot about what it was like to be po'
Dolly never did though, and that why I love her 
There will ALWAYS be racism, that's just the way it is.
However, oncce that OLD head dies off and out and the more the world expands ..... things will eventually gt better for us all ..... It'll be a while for sure, but these old, racist types die out ...
Case in point: A friend from West Virginia that I've mentoned on this site who told me years ago that Joe Manchini (changed his name to sound less Italian) was a pile of crooked, greedy, pile of poo in my posts whose white has a 23 year old nephew whose graduating from the University of West Virginia along with his 22 year old fiancee next summer whose BLACK 
......
They were going to wait next year post graduation to marry, but they can't wait, so they're getting married this Thanksgiving holiday season His Mom is not jumping for joy, but my friend told me last just week that his 50 cousin says "Well, it's his life, but these last few years are the happiest I've ever seen Eli, and that's all what matters." My friend said that if his Dad was alive, that would be another story though all together 
H said his nephew told him "Unc, there are more white guys out here like me than you think who would marry someone black, but they are scared of what their parents would think so they stay away from black woman, not me. You know me." I love speaking to my bud and his wife. They're going back to West Virginia to his nephew's wedding. And to top it off the young lady comes from a bit of money/great background. Fancy that, a black woman coming from money (Her parents and their family have been educators for 100 years plus, and very successful). Eli's lucky that a teacher saw the potential in him when he was a kid who saw his gift with math/numbers especially , and saw how intelligent he was and from there, things took off. Eli's going to be an educator himself--a math teacher, en route to be a Math Professor. His fiancee is also en route to being an educator and Professor of Black studies herself.
God, I wish my buddy's nephew/fiancee the best in luck in life, love, success & health.
A con man born to a wealthy family in Queens, NYC, and a ne'er-do-well New England preppy from Connecticut speaking in a clownish Texas twang are 'country'? And embody the spirit of Appalachia?
She can do all the head-fakes in the direction of feminism she wants, but the slag-heap siren was just another empty-headed hillbilly.
I'll never again attend any of her concerts.
What's the point of this?
She's dead with no chance of coming back.
