Woke country singers think the majority of people are ‘scumbag’ humans
The Washington Examiner ^ | August 30, 2022 | Madeline Fry Schultz

Until very recently, it was a normal and commonsense thing to say you don’t approve of children being pumped full of hormones or surgically altered for no medical reason. In fact, that’s what a majority of people still believe. Yet, when Brittany Aldean (wife of country music star Jason Aldean) recently said so, woke celebrities went ballistic.

In the caption of a makeup video she shared to Instagram, Brittany Aldean wrote, “I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life.”

This sentiment, while shared in a lighthearted way, touches on a very real phenomenon that many women can relate to. Being a tomboy used to mean nothing but that. Now, many young women are being pushed to change their gender just because they don’t conform to stereotypes. And this has much more dire consequences than depriving them of the ability to do their makeup later in life.

But none of this matters to the gender ideologues who, despite holding fringe positions, act as if anyone who disagrees with them is wholly out of the mainstream. Because Brittany Aldean had committed the crime of being publicly conservative, she received swift pushback from woke country singers.

Cassadee Pope tweeted that Brittany Aldean should include “LGBTQ+ people” in her messaging. Maren Morris added, “It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie.”

There are plenty more tweets where those came from, and the ongoing drama, which isn’t worth getting further into, includes pile-ons from singer Brandi Carlile, author Glennon Doyle, and TV star Jonathan Van Ness.

The Twitter beef is immaterial; what’s striking about this whole situation is the vehemence with which celebrities have gone after a woman who expressed a common opinion — and one that would not have been controversial just a few years ago.

In her response to the backlash, Brittany Aldean wrote, “Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care,’ is one of the worst evils. I will always support my children and do what I can do protect their innocence.” She added, “Some parents want to be accepted by society so badly that they're willing to make life-altering decisions for their children who aren't old enough to fully comprehend the consequences of those actions. Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions. Until then, leave children alone.”

This seems like an anodyne statement. But not to today’s Left, which is swift to condemn any person whose common sense conflicts with its agenda.

Letter people should pound sand.

That’s what happens when money is the goal for the art, same with a life path.

That’s what I was thinking. I remember reading an interview with Tim McGraw and he said he wished Bill Clinton could be King!
Now their daughter is a staffer for a pinko-lefty congressman.

Garth Brooks started the downfall of country music.

I always liked the innocence of the music of Amy Grant until I learned she was singing and doing bratwurst rodeos at the same time.

No doubt the country genre is tilting to rock. There are still many traditional country acts out there - Morgan Wallen Luke Combs, Dillon Carmichael, John Pardi, Hank Jr., Alan Jackson and others. Need to look harder to find them.

I was torn between which one to post. Because no one tells The Possum to pack up and go back home. The young country singers could learn a lot by watching Alan Jackson sing at George Jones funeral if they understand about that songs story. Still gives me goosebumps.

Affirming your gender is only OK if you are “trans”? Can you only “trans” once or can you go back and forth at will? If not, why not? Can a person half-trans?

“radio is her church”

When I hear people blaring music from their cars, some of it very crude rap featuring the “n” word and “f” bombs galore, you do realize that it is evangelizing them in a perverse way, it is their church, sludge is clogging up their brains.
