I have a feeling dolly wouldn't mind.
Probably. But people watching this who are unfamiliar with Dolly may assume she is just tits and make-up.
She perhaps one of the greatest living Americans. The amount of money she has spent getting books into the hands of kids is something that doesn't get enough press.
Which is why this is a bad choice.
They should have compared Trump to a Kardashian
I guess, except dolly is very frank about her make up habits. Go look for articles on it. She even has a cosmetics line. She admits she sleeps at night with her make up on.
Not the point.
Trump should be compared to a "bad" celebrity. Not be associated with Dolly's positive aura.
But the people this video targets that don’t already know her wouldn’t care anyway. We know who she is, we’re in on the joke, and the people the joke targets just see tits and makeup regardless, and giving them an education on the topic wouldn’t make them suddenly come round.
Uhhh, that's kinda how she describes herself. Proudly.
But she is also much more. Being compared to Dolly is a compliment, not an insult.
As an average dude in Dolly's home state, I would take it as high praise to be compared to Dolly. I suspect most men here would, save probably those who are insecure in their masculinity and/or appearance.
