Most conservative celebrities are either going to be from country music or politicians. I don't think country music is super popular nowadays.

I apologize to anyone I may have offended with my post. I do believe that there are forum members with friends or relatives who have contracted.

My post was simply to point out that there appears to be juuuust a bit of an ulterior motive with many celebs when they make public statements relating to COVID-19 diagnosis.
And pray tell, what "ulterior motive" might that be?

I honestly believe the number of conservative celebrities outside of country music and politics is much higher than it appears to be.

We just don't know who they are because they are in the closet for fear of being ostracized by their peers. Sad really.

Cancel culture in action.

To fan the flames of fear and to insert themselves into things of course.

You don' tthink country music is super popular? WHAT? It's as popular if not more -- lol.

There was a country singer who got sick and died -- Joe Diffie?
Ray Benson -- Asleep at the wheel band

Yeah not a whole lot of celebrities/artists that are conservative so smaller pool to choose from.

So you are saying conservatives are afraid to stand up for their beliefs because they don't want to lose money.

Well that's some kind of principled behaviour.

And I guess that means that conservatives consumers aren't as plentiful as liberal consumers......

Good point. Touche.

Maybe me thinking there are larger numbers is wishful thinking.

Conservative thinkers probably are not as attracted to theater and acting as liberal thinkers.

We're more into real life.

Thoughts? Kinda interesting. Most of them are quite vocal about it too.
Kathy Griffin’s symptoms were consistent with a stomach infection, not Covid-19. I am sure she appreciates being in your thoughts.


Just curious, does this thread serve a purpose?

Since when does a thread in the political forum need to "serve a purpose". Lol. Sounds so serious.

You're funny.

See post #21 (thanks AustinNerd) and #37 for the point of the thread.
