Between Dolly Parton’s quiet COVID research fund, BLM support, and her sending generations of children books through the USPS, she continues to be one of the most relevant and wonderful people of every era. — Dolly represents the best of America, while Trump represents the worst.

Meanwhile, The Federalist Society has decided to attack Dolly Parton.

Oh FFS!
Short version: she is a decent human being who has survived all kinds of crap BY being decent, they are a bunch of shits.

I have a lot of time for her.

@GreenFire @Strandjunker Jesus said “judge not”. These fake Christians that go around “labeling sin” are putting themselves in God’s role. Which is blasphemy. It’s like they don’t even read the Bible. (It’s different matter of trying not to sin, yourself. They don’t seem to be too good at that either. Boards vs motes in the eye also applies here.) My view of The Gospel is that it’s all about love. If you’re not doing that, it’s a clue. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%207:1-3&version=NIV
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 7:1-3 - New International Version

Judging Others - “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

@obviousdwest @GreenFire @Strandjunker the Nazis also picked and chose from the parts of Christianity that were aligned with what they wanted - and paraded themselves as Christian in public

@GreenFire @Strandjunker They are desperate for a distraction. This is their circus. Gee, how much is their world crumbling that they took this desperate step?
@GreenFire @Strandjunker With all due and proper respect, the Federalist Society is a seditionist club of insurrection-supporting traitors that can individually and severally go fuck themselves. Being slandered by the Federalist Society as it now exists is a badge of pride.
@Strandjunker didn’t even know she HAD a covid research fund! The US doesn’t deserve her 😭

@Strandjunker

Be a Dolly Parton or a Jimmy Carter,

not a Kristi Noem or a Donald Trump.

Now do I have to tell you how you must vote next November?

@Strandjunker

It's the difference between inherited wealth, Trump, and self-made wealth, Dolly Parton.

Inherited wealth produces sociopathic hoarders, callously indifferent to the welfare of their fellow humans.

Those folks think "pay it forward" is for chumps.

@Npars01 @Strandjunker If I could add a bit of nuance to it - I think it's important to look back on the role models for those inheriting wealth.

By that I mean how did the previous generation handle the wealth, how did they treat others, and how did they see themselves.
