Look at all that colour and LIFE. Only someone no longer really human would curtail that.

My avi is from 2016 when she publicly stated she did not vote for Hitllery so

This has always been extremely performative to me, and it isn’t just her who’s doing it.

 

Artists protest against certain states and the choices the state puts in place but they still go to these places on tour for a cash grab. If you were really about that life, you would refuse to even set your show up there and would let the state suffer from economic loss. These tours generate a big piece of revenue for these places because of hotel reservations, transportation, dinning, etc. If artists continue to skip these spots on tours, the government would realize and would most likely make a change. Why? Because it affects their money. The reasoning behind the CEO of Disney going against DeSantis is a prime example.

 

But artists are too worried about their own pockets and it ends up being performative

I understand where the logic is coming from, but what you're suggesting sends the opposite of the needed message. 

 

It's clear that these people will only listen and stand down if you don't give them the choice to. I live in Knoxville where this event took place, and I can tell you for certain that had she skipped, they wouldn't experience significant loss from it. Our football team brings in a **** ton of money, we have conservative country artists frequently at the venue, not much would change. 

 

What does make change is protest and defiance and raising your voice. History has shown that defiance of any unjust law, pushing back, disobedience, that's how things get shaken up. The oppressed need to band together and overwhelm the oppressors, not bend to their will. Skipping coming to Tennessee only allows Republicans to win. That's what they want. They don't care about financial loss because they will never personally feel it and their constituents that will are too blinded by the culture war to hold them accountable. They do not care about that and never have. Knoxville's leadership, and even leadership in Nashville don't care about financial loss, they don't care if their people suffer, they'll never have to experience it. 

 

This? This gets their attention. Look how scared some students protesting at the Tennessee capitol got them last month. They're easily shaken by someone challenging them.

You right. I wish everyone would stop going to these places but many are contract abiding at this point
