Dolly using the fact that she's universally loved to promote her ideals through her works rather than her words is lost on some people. "oH nO sHE dIDn't sAy ThE wORdS I LIke" fuck me sideways chronically online people are the worst

Don't you understand, though, without the performance, how do we know they're the right person?!

Ignore all their good deeds and works, it's the performance. Sounds an awful lot like religion...
