[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Country music is also really popular in Germany-I have a music app that is all german country stations.[b] I'm far left and into country music.[/b][/quote]

Country music is associated with red states, which liberals generally sneer at.  What is it about country music that they find appealing? [/quote]

Seriously?  First of all, many liberals live in red states.  And most liberals don't "sneer at" red states.  And most country music isn't about politics--it's quite often about love and relationships, which is a common theme in plenty of other genres of popular music. [/quote]
My family lives in a red state. We’re liberals—in fact, so far left that DH is a Democratic Socialist. Our (very blue) town has a Roots & Blues festival every year, and we absolutely love it. It’s not about politics; it’s about coming together over the musical experience. This year, we can’t wait to see Jason Isbell, Amanda Shires, or Lucas Nelson among others.

Last year, we were introduced to one of our new favorite singers, Valerie June, who is a country singer with very liberal leanings. [/quote]
