It's not like the Country Music Awards organizers planned the awards to show just a week after the mass shooting in Nashville, but perhaps the planners of the shooting did time the event accordingly to maximize political impact. Well, that's some conspiracy stuff. Depends on who you ask. The celebration on the heels of the tragedy in Nashville has got to, and I am sure it is meant to, appall some folks. But that is the angle--to bring people to a breaking point.
With lyrics of killing your husband.
CMT is Country Music Television, the host of the Awards. And what you're watching is the Country Music Awards Ceremony held at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Singing is Kelsea Ballerini, and the song is "If You Go Down, I'm Goin' Down Too." And what you think you heard is exactly what you heard. Check out the lyrics.
CMT keeps using words like slayed and killed. They said these drag queens slayed it. Right after the Nashville shooting. Should be called drag queen awards now. They also are promoting gun control. Literally. They did a segment on it.. #CMT #GoWokeGoBroke pic.twitter.com/9CjuioJkg7

Country music was hijacked long ago. I mean this ain't the music of Dolly Parton or Hank Williams or Marty Robbins or two of my enduring favorites Tammy Wynette alone or in a duo with her husband, George Jones.
I keep all your secrets by the dozen
You know where my skeletons sleep
Hypothetically, if you ever kill your husband
Hand on the Bible, I'd be lyin' through my teeth.
But just as watching violent video games a mass murderer does not a player make, so violent lyrics don't a criminal make of the singer or writer or a cowgirl driving the Texas interstate.
Awards, ceremonies, and parties are supposed to be a break from the day-to-day world but it certainly doesn't seem like we're living in an everyday world. Is every context now a politically charged context? It may seem distasteful but it also shows that the events are different. Nashville is different and separate from Austin politically and tragic news us separate from an awards ceremony . . . right? I do like the attempt by the CMA to cut through the media's efforts to cast all of one group as AR-toting murderers bent on revenge on a Christian school or Christian theology. There are better ways of redressing one's grievances than by murdering adults and kids at school. So, to that end, I almost appreciate the presence of the drag queens in Ballerini's performance, though I myself cannot look at it. But like most public events, the presence of drag queens is a double-edged sword. It doesn't necessarily try to mainstream or normalize different genders. That's the media that's promoting the LBGTQ agenda. Though the CMA did accomplish the feat of a drag show onto that national stage. Why limit yourself to an elementary school library's afternoon reading hour?
So as these military measures go, they're often stacked, meaning there are multiple layers of assault in a single event. Here you've got the inclusion, conviction-destroying narrative shaping LBGTQ's "we're all the same" agenda with, drag queens, which is like the black face of the 1920s and '30s, and gun control. BTW, as the inclusion narrative becomes more extreme, it means the country is going to have more of these mass shootings to push the ethics, the politics, and normalization so as to destroy religious convictions. Immigration is part of this inclusion. So the farther the country goes to lowering standards to nothing, the more violence will erupt.
America suffers from cultural pluralism while being debt slaved by a tiny minority of the elite.
