No, she made it a point to stay out of politics, but given the things she supported, the people she thought deserved her respect and love, her overall level of class it's clear what colors of hats she didn't wear.
FIFY

Got to love how a thread about Dolly Parton’s death was somehow turned political by the left. Multiple Trump mentions and ones like the one I responded to above.
I never really got into Dolly or the things she did but it sounds like she truly cared about helping people that grew up in similar situations as she did. Not to many people stay true to their roots when they hit it big. Glad to hear that she did.

Dolly Parton, the beloved musician and cultural icon, died after being diagnosed with cancer, according to her representatives.
They did not say what kind of cancer she had or when she was diagnosed. But she was admitted to the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville on Aug. 21.

Parton died at the hospital on Tuesday. She was 80.

Representatives for Parton told the Associated Press that she “departed her Earthly life” after “bravely facing a brief battle with cancer.”
Parton’s death was announced by her family in a video statement Tuesday featuring her nephew Bryan Seaver, who was her head of security. It has been viewed more than 160 million times.



“She never saw a door she couldn’t open, and the doors she opened made and changed history. My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly, but so have you,” Seaver said.
The singer, songwriter and actress was also known for her philanthropy. She started Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which gives books to children across the country.
She was recognized by the Susan G. Komen breast cancer foundation in 2023 for her support of its mission.
“She used her voice and her remarkable platform to bring hope to people facing breast cancer and to make a meaningful difference in their lives,” the organization told The Washington Post in a statement Wednesday.
“We will always be grateful for the kindness and heart she shared with our community. Her extraordinary spirit, compassion and commitment to helping others will be deeply missed.”

Public figures from across the political spectrum mourned Parton’s death and recognized her life and legacy. President Donald Trump ordered U.S. flags to fly at half-staff for a week in her honor.
Former president George W. Bush said in a statement that Parton was a great entertainer and an even greater person.
“We respected her work to promote literacy, advance health, and strengthen communities. Dolly was a talented and hardworking American who will be missed,” he said.

@NorthernHawkeye still doesn’t understand why his wife left him.
Dolly was classy to the bones. Kind and generous. Loving. Oh, and amazingly talented and all he can do is scratch around for attention.

Dolly's reply to somone who asked her about all the "work" she'd had done was:

"The Lord helps them who help themselves".

A prefect cultural representative of East Tn at its finest.

I lived a few years in SC but I am a hillbilly from Appalachia and East Tn. I was never poor but was surrounded by it.

She was probably the greatest Tennessean since Davy Crockett.
