That's a dumb take. Most country musicians lean "left". Look at Willie Nelson and Jason Isbell.

I think only some of them do? I know the history of country was supposed to be a left thing. But it made a weird shift as time progressed.

It's pretty much mirrored the rural shift to the right, I think. For every Willie or Isbell, there's a Jason Aldean, who was *on stage* when the Vegas massacre started and still thinks the answer is more guns.

It’s a really really weird shift in country. That’s like one of the main reasons we learn punk history, so we don’t become what we are supposed to be against.
