In a world where country music was once synonymous with patriotism, freedom, and the American spirit, it seems the "woke" machine is now targeting the heart and soul of the genre. The Dugger Band, a brotherly country music duo from Tennessee, is facing a cancellation attempt over their unapologetically patriotic song "True Colors." What is the reason? The song is, simply put, a love letter to America—and apparently, that’s no longer allowed in today’s climate of cancel culture.
The Dugger Band, known for their rootsy sound and traditional country style, recently experienced firsthand the cancel culture running rampant in the entertainment industry. The duo, which consists of two brothers, were informed by the Today in Nashville show on WSMV that they were no longer welcome to perform their new song due to its “politically biased” nature. This “politically biased” song? A patriotic anthem celebrating their love for America, American values, and the men and women who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.
The backlash from the media against Dugger Band didn’t stop there. Country music icon John Rich, who produced the track, was quick to speak out, slamming the censorship. In an emotional post, Rich shared his outrage at an attempt to silence a song that perfectly encapsulates the pride and patriotism that so many Americans hold dear.
The cancellation of Dugger Band is not just an attack on a single song, but an attack on the essence of what it means to be free in America. In a country that was founded on the principles of freedom of expression, it’s shocking that a song celebrating patriotism could be deemed “politically biased.”
What’s more troubling is the growing trend of labels being slapped on any form of patriotic expression. This country was founded on the idea that freedom of speech and thought were sacred, and now, we find ourselves in a situation where simply expressing love for the country is seen as a political statement.
Dugger Band’s “True Colors” doesn’t fit the mold of the woke agenda—and that’s exactly why it’s causing such a stir. The song’s unapologetic celebration of American pride, history, and values directly challenges the narrative being pushed by the elites in Hollywood, the media, and even parts of the music industry.
Now is the time to support Dugger Band and artists who continue to challenge the status quo. Share their story, and let’s keep fighting to make sure that in America, patriotism is never something you have to apologize for.
