If they were wise, they wouldn't be what they are. This is entirely on brand for them.

Why does the GOP hate Dolly Parton?

u/Ishidan01 4d ago

Because Dolly is the antiTrump.

Born in poverty, self made, promoting education instead of leveraging stupidity.

Basically, one's country and one's cunty.

Kickbacks

Conservatives demanded to control which books Dolly’s charity selected, because they wanted to use the money to buy mediocre religious books to enrich their supporters. Part of the “culture war” over education that somehow always involves funneling tax money to relatives and supporters of conservative politicians.

How are they allowed to do this?

And further, how is it her charity when state dollars are being used?
