In Other News: Conservatives hate dancing and music.
... But they absolutely love booze.
My friend got married in a conservative little Washington town near the Canadian border. When planning the wedding, they were told that city ordinance allowed them to choose either alcohol or music at the reception, but not both.
We ended up drinking and making Footloose jokes all night.
The Republicans in Washington tend to not care much about vices. They were gone legalizing weed. You go down to the Deep South and they hate booze so much that they have dry counties.
One of which has the Jack Daniels distillery smack-dab in the middle of it. Better yet, they have a legal loophole just for the gift shop.

While I upvoted for your spirit, most of the folks I make a living from as a basshole have red hats at home. They fuckin' love good live music if you separate them from Trump's diaper for a minute.
We are a lefty-as-fuck folk trio, and our elephant-flavored fans listen, dance, and usually keep their treason to themselves. They get real quiet when we sing about Sporkfoot, though... 🤷♂️
A shocking number of GOPers love leftist music. Remember when Rand Paul said his favorite band was Rage Against The Machine?
Swamy wouldn't have rapped if he wasn't an Eminem fan
I doubt he's listened to any of the more recent songs. Em comes out swinging in favor of gun control and apologizes to Kim and his mom and talks about his feelings. Oh, and that he hates Trump.
It occurred to me the other day, he was pretty ahead of the curve on talking about his feelings. Beautiful straight opens up with him saying he's depressed. It's ironic, but Eminem was ahead of the curve on men starting to talk about their emotions. Maybe that's true of musicians in general though.
I agree, IMO he's just another hopeful politician awkwardly entice a "new" demographic
Edit- and failing, I'm enjoying the failing aspect
