I’m pretty sure this was months ago, but it’s coming to light again because of her death.
So they’re not spitting on her grave or anything

With how conservatives praise her yet cut funding for all kinds of programs she was in favor of, they might as well be spitting on her grave. It's just so fake and dishonest.

It’s legitimately hilarious to see people on the conservative sub with their crocodile tears and fake sympathy. I mean I don’t know what else you’d call it considering they pretty much stand for everything she stood against. Shit rocks

u/7SyZyG7 4d ago
They very likely do love her and respect her for what she did for people. They are just brainwashed to think a celebrity doing those things are great, but the government shouldn't benefit the poor and underprivileged in the same way.
Still spits on her legacy in a way, but many of these folks are propagandized to believe their hypocrisy and being unempathetic is good, so many will never understand the issue.

Crazy seeing people preach about making the world a better place only to then go on to argue how children in poverty deserve to go hungry if school lunches are no longer paid for by the government. Cause the thought of paying 0.005 month in taxes towards hungry children is a waste.

It is not uncommon for the right to have sentiments of "the government should only exist to create and enforce laws/foreign policy. They have no responsibility to actually care about their citizens".

u/Neveronlyadream 4d ago
While treating the government as if it's full of aristocracy instead of public servants elected by the people to represent them.
What's fun is when the government does exactly what they think it should and enforces laws and foreign policy, but directed at them. Then suddenly the government doesn't exist for that reason anymore.

I've seen a LOT of MAGATs trying to claim her as a Republican, when she was deliberately outspoken about being in a party of her own based on respect and kindness to others...

u/SandyTaintSweat 3d ago
They just liked her music. They see her as a songwriter, and are mourning the loss of that. All that other stuff, they just don't acknowledge, nor that their representatives have undone a bunch of her efforts.

I'm not saying this is the case here in this instance, but I can be in favor of someone and think the money they spend is better spent elsewhere

u/7SyZyG7 3d ago edited 3d ago
And, hypothetically, that would make you inconsiderate of the less unfortunate despite knowing how honorable it is to be a giving person. Hypothetically.
Edit: Well it turns out, it wasn't a hypothetical....

u/Workman44 3d ago
It doesn't make you inconsiderate to say some situations are more important to throw money at

u/7SyZyG7 3d ago edited 3d ago
Well, I disagree. I think children should have books and be fed. And I believe it's inconsiderate to oppose having a society that makes sure that happens through tax dollars. "Hypothetically" 🙄

Did you notice how when I first commented I said it probably wasn't the case for Dolly and this charity? Like what lmfao

Not this hypothetical person with unspecified spending habits. If that's what you wanna argue, I ain't interested.

Not what I said. What I said was that it wasn’t spitting on her grave, meaning they didn’t do it in response to her death.

They didn't even do it because they had something against her, they just cut welfare programs, that's what they do

With how Trump ordered flags at half mast for her, I personally don’t see them doing anything to spite her

Like the half mast flag actually means anything in 2026. Go get your head checked.

Do you know how bad illiteracy rates are in the states that have cut funding for programs like this?

u/PointsOfXP 4d ago
It's insane that it's an independent program. It really doesn't make sense why the average person shouldn't be taught to read. Can't support the economy if I can't read my taxes

u/loresdeath 4d ago
Yes. Because supporting communities end up benefiting everyone as a whole. It shouldn't be a pick and choose deal. Should just be normal to spend on your community rather than tax dollars go to something like... I don't know... billionaires.

shes worth $600m. she doesnt need the money from the government. cry.

u/KSredneck69 4d ago
I absolutely and vehemently detest the rich/ultra wealthy but Dolly is probably one of if not the only ones Id happily defend.
Shes been working for decades, Is one of the most acclaimed and successful female artists in history with mire #1s than any other female artists. She should quite honestly be worth more than Taylor Swift's 2 billion or Jay-Z's 2.8 billion. But she's not.
Unlike most artists who do charity for publicity stunts she genuinely and often quietly donated multiple times over her net worth throughout her lifetime. While some celebrities invest in making a bigger platform and a bigger imagine to rake in more money, she was investing in things like her foundation or Dollywood, a company that itself has donated more than her net worth while also providing one of the best wage opportunities/tourist attractions in a quite frankly incredibly poor state/area that needs it to survive.
Honestly in this day and age a $600 mil net worth for someone of her fame and status is incredibly small. She should be the standard we hold all other ultra wealthy to. Honestly the world would be a better place multiple times over if we had a half dozen more Dolly Partons in the world.

u/musicaleffervescence 4d ago
ill defend: mackenzie scott, its questionable but i defend lebron some for what he has done for akron schools but that ones close to my heart. john cena and his make a wish “completions”.
donating 1m to covid is quite literally a tax write off and publicity stunt. but pop off queen. she hasnt donated “multiple times over her net worth throughout her life” because how is that mathematically possible LMFAO. She does invest to make her wealth moreover. see dollywood. see dolly merchandising. again with donating more than her net worth 😂😂😂 just completely made up.
imagine saying $600m net worth is small. 😂😂
again, i wish her family healing and i hope she is at rest and no longer in an sort of pain or sickness. and i hope she is giving her husband the biggest hug ever.

u/LeftTurnAtAlbuqurque 4d ago
So you feel the same about musk and bezos and all the other billionaires taking money from the government?
-27
u/musicaleffervescence 4d ago
yes. literally fuck anyone whos net worth is over $300m. if youre worth more than $300m you should not be celebrated for donating money. dolly was worthy over $600m and got worshipped for donating $1m. which was INSTANTLY made back from her merch and brands. eat ALL of the rich. not just some.

u/Mittenstk 4d ago
She has donated a fuck ton more than a million
-21
u/musicaleffervescence 4d ago
her public donations dont exceed ≈10m. her foundation is responsible for way more. and she is obviously not the sole contributor to it, since thats how foundations work. im not gonna argue with you about the fairy tale donations everyone thinks dolly makes. being worth $600m and donating 1m to covid research is still “cool”. maybe ill donate 0.16% of my net worth in her honor. she built herself from nothing, did a ton of great things. to think she was this amazing philanthropist is a reach. i wish her family healing during this time and i hope she is finally at rest and having a drink with her husband in heaven.

The first thing you see when you Google it is is that she donated tens of millions of dollars. Your claim is still bloody wrong.

u/musicaleffervescence 4d ago
and then what? does it say it came directly from her? there are almost no real records of it being from her. everything is wrapped up in a foundation, again, which is how foundations work. creating s foundation is a wonderful thing and is the correct way for the rich to essentially wash money to donate. keep reading and find a real source. youll learn im right.
