i think if Dolly ran for President, she’d win

abbykbhomesleak.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dolly has never been political. She just puts her foot where her mouth is. We know what side she's on. The good & right side. Reading is all important to her & I'm glad she is speaking up & hope no one "retaliates" over being so right.

Pretty sure that means Tennessee has to declare war on Indiana now.

if any americans or canadians reading this would be interested, i’ve made a discord server for americans considering asylum and canadians willing to help out. i’d be happy to send you all a link if you’re interested!

Get him, Dolly!!

Illiteracy is how the MAGA Nazis keep control... A population that doesn't understand can be hearded like farm animals/resources/capital, the south is a shining example.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

So right.

I grew up in Indiana. And it's because of this kind of backwoods dipshittery that I left Indiana as soon as humanly possible.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

I tried to. But I made the mistake of moving to Florida. Needless to say, even though I’m in Indiana again, I’m far better off here than in Florida. Just saying. Wish I could move my family to an actual Blue state or something. But I can’t afford to right now.

#GrinchBraun is dissing our National Angel...

They should be more like Dolly and less like her male counterpart in Rhinestone.

deeann1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Braun is a typical Republican and will do anything to gain approval from his wannabe king. Why must they involve innocent children in their power grabs and hate sprees?

chris-ggn1.bsky.social•2 days ago

a return to Kristallnacht, under the Nazi regime

Something tells me Gov Dum Dum picked the wrong woman to fuck with

That is awesome!

Her star power means nothing to them!

Burn them down @realdollyparton.bsky.social burn them fucking down 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

fredgrott.bsky.social•2 days ago

for context other Braun innovations:

1. school vouchers designed to defund public schools
2. capping property taxes to force local govs to also defund public schools

The speedy gallop to Indi-ssippi continues ...

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Myself, I usually compare the state to Alabama. Maybe 🤔 call it Indibama? 🤭😂🤣😂😉

scottheld45.bsky.social•2 days ago

I grew up in greater New Orleans.
I've lived most of my life in the Midwest.
I graduated from Carmel (Ind.) HS and was ridiculously well-prepared for college. I now live in Chicagoland (Valpo).
It's a tragedy what's happening to this state. It's going to take generations to repair it.

I live in Indiana and I can tell you literacy is not a strong point here

greatfausto.bsky.social•2 days ago

She should boycott Indiana and any state that dares to touch her charitable works

bradthorpe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Have you seen the advantage Democrats have among college graduates? What possible benefit do Republicans gain by promoting literacy?”

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

College education, or as Republicans nowadays like to call it “Liberal Woke Indoctrination!” That is why the Department of Education is under the gun right now. As Thomas Jefferson said…

psycat1017.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you are being scolded by Dolly, you are so far in the weeds, hold on ima get my gun and put that lame hog down.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

If a Conservative governor is being scolded by a Country Music Legend, that dog don’t hunt anymore. That’s all I’m saying. 🧱🌊

Idiot!!

Get ‘em Dolly!

chilldogs.bsky.social•2 days ago

braun must be an idiot to mess with Dolly!!!

riccitann.bsky.social•2 days ago

New proclamation Indiana is by far the most Southern Northern state in the Union.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a liberal Hoosier who lives in one of the few Blue enclaves in the State, I just need everyone to understand this about my Indiana. The Hoosier State does have a handful of Democratic enclaves dotted around the more populated areas. But the rest of Indiana may as well be Alabama.

susiejgray.bsky.social•2 days ago

If they read and learn, they’ll start thinking! Indiana doesn’t want that!

introverter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Reading is a real tall order for some of those folks tbh.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

And it’s the exact same way with all of the Red States.

susiejgray.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes it is! I live in one 🙁

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Blue dots 🔵 in a Red State. My state of Indiana does have a handful of Blue enclaves dotted around the populated areas. But outside of those, the state might as well be Alabama.

ginabobina1977.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dolly is a saint! How dare he! She actually cares about the children.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Apparently, ol’ Governor Braun ain’t all too keen about kids 👦🏼 doing any book learning and such.

ginabobina1977.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sounds like an ol’ fascist.

mrduplicity.bsky.social•1 day ago

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library costs about $2.10 per book, per month, or $25 per child, per year. This cost includes the book and postage.

heywaitaminit.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you're against Dolly, you're on the wrong side.

robertfingleton.bsky.social•2 days ago

All part of their grand plan to ensure in future that children are unable to read! 😡

ladyevenstarbpe.bsky.social•2 days ago

👍

harbourchick1.bsky.social•1 day ago

It is so much easier to manipulate the uneducated, the illiterate and the compliant.

brendamoghadam.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our governor is an idiot and is a trump clone. This is Indiana where all you need to do to get elected is put an R behind your name. Being a blue dot here is challenging.

robertlandrumjr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sad but true.
