Rich also highlighted a growing disconnect between country music’s conservative fan base and the liberals who now dominate the industry.

MEAWW reported that one-half of the Grammy-winning country duo “Big & Rich” recently dished on the disconnect between the country music industry and its fans.

Rich says that while most country music fans are conservatives, those who actually run the industry are mostly liberal. He says its this conflict that leaves conservative leaning country artists in a difficult situation.

Exactly. The right cowers at every ‘boo’ the left spooks them with. The right have only themselves to blame when the US finally dies.

It is called planned infiltration. And it is everywhere.

“They will ruin country music.”

Y’all mean the rock-pop-rap mashup they’re pumping out these days?

I saw a country music special recently and noticed how woke it was. They were all crying over George Floyd. They got as many POC on the show as they could possibly squeeze in, most of whom were not even country artists. I think Darius Rucker was the only POC who was actually a country artist. RIP, country music. Now it’s just like every other aspect of show business.

Remember this....

“Old Town Road” earned him two MTV Video Music Awards including Song of the Year, and the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song; Lil Nas X is also the first openly LGBTQ Black artist to win a Country Music Association award.
