Country music star Luke Bryan was asked by Governor Ron DeSantis to play a benefit concert to raise money for those affected by Hurricane Ian after it cut a devastating swath through Florida. Mr. Bryan, to his credit, answered the call and invited DeSantis on stage to rousing applause. Cue the outrage. The democrat trolls on Twitter are now calling for his cancellation, vowing to never listen to Luke Bryan’s music again. Seriously? Bryan, who rarely responds to social media outbursts of insanity, simply stated that he has never been politically active and simply and respectfully responded to people in need in a state that has been good to him. But here’s the bigger picture: Mr. Bryan answered the call, but where is the rest of the entertainment industry? Did democrat darlings Beyoncé, Johnny Legend, Madonna, or Bono step up and lend their talents to help Americans who lost everything to the storm? Of course not. They are elitists who defend their progressive causes and will view Florida as a conservative stronghold and take a pass. In other words, suffering by Republicans is not nearly as important as pandering to their liberal urban fan base and their social activism: Bravo, Luke Bryan, and a rousing raspberry to those who put politics above compassion. It just never ceases to amaze me that the big liberal entertainers never, ever get called out for supporting preposterously leftist candidates and engaging in activism, but one conservative even suggests affiliation with the Republicans, and the outrage is seismic.
