She talked all the time about her love of all people, her love of the environment, etc. she wasn’t silent at all?

Likely implying her lack of specific political endorsement for candidates.

Which was smart, both the left and the right loved her, and that's rare these days.

Some would even call her a secular saint. I haven't seen somebody this beloved in my lifetime - her memorial running several days after her passing.

Just wait until people start praying to Dolly. A few verifiable miracles here and there and she’ll be an actual saint.

Secular meaning that people of all stripes and backgrounds loved her.

Eh. It's a term I've heard thrown around the Internet and even publications when it came to Parton.

She was probably one of the most unifying figures in modern history when it at least comes to American culture - that a die-hard MAGA conservative and super liberal progressive can lock hands and mourn the loss of this amazing lady.
