Who cares if she did in all honesty, her stance was known always to be politically neutral and focusing on her own life and career.

Sheโ€™s literally stated as such many times fam. Literally declining Medals of Freedom and refusing to endorse politicians for years on end. Her political life was private to her apart from support of LGBT communities and her own support for literacy.

Supporting literacy, LGBT rights, underserved Black communities, and families affected by natural disasters the government are neglecting are all political.

Not really, theyโ€™re common sense made to be politically charged. You donโ€™t have to side with any political group to serve your community. Though you might be more likely to support one party doing so.

One party very clearly does not support any of those things in this country and has actively attempted to dismantle organizations addressing them, including Dolly's.

The Republican Party uses anti LGBT stances as a cornerstone of their ideology.

Like I said, politically charged. She set up organizations to help because she wanted to help and felt connected to such a community. This wasnโ€™t based on politics but her own personal experience. โ€œDaddy was a Republican, Momma was a Democrat, Iโ€™m an entertainer.โ€
