The Left's woke colonizers are the reason the culture war exists

The connection between the tribute and the performance was obvious to those who have been paying attention to the media’s coverage of the Nashville shooting: The Left is convinced that the “trans community” is the real group of victims since the shooter identified as trans and conservatives had the audacity to point that out.

Ballerini’s performance was also certainly meant to be a response to recent legislation in conservative states, such as Arkansas and Tennessee, restricting inappropriate “adult cabaret performances” in the presence of children. It is apparently unthinkable to Ballerini and the CMT executives who approved her performance that a good chunk of the public would want to shield children from inappropriate displays of obscenity.

However, it certainly was not lost on either Ballerini or CMT that many of the people who support laws such as Tennessee’s are the same people who listen to country music and even tune into country music awards programs. Indeed, that was the entire point. The Left is determined to force its values onto every segment of the population, especially those segments that disagree.
