Country Music

Republicans and country music go hand in hand. Country music plays to the hearts of Republicans the way Donald Trump plays to the hearts of Republicans. Country music is honest, transparent, and speaks about the way of life most Republicans have in their parts of the country. It's true, country music is the soul of the Republican party.

You can narrow down a country music song's theme to one of a few categories. Every country music song is about love, guns, alcohol, or sex. Just listen to any song and you'll hear one of these as the main themes of the song. Go ahead and look at the top 10 country songs right now. I'll wait. You can read this 10 years from now and it will still be the same.

But these themes are simple and anyone can identify with them. It's not like Democrats and their rock music about whatever drivel they are talking about. Singing about San Francisco or Seattle or whatever. This music is true to the core and true to the people who listen to it. It's authentic.

But why is it only Republicans like country music? Many Democrats are city dwellers and have never understood why my horses need beer, why I need to take a Louisville Slugger to my lover's car, or why you want to take a ride on my big green tractor. There is little snark in this post because it's true. It's practically a different culture. But maybe we need to take the time to experience each other's way to life to better understand everyone's needs. We can start with music that brings us together.
