Rock the Country, a music festival critics have labelled a “MAGA fest”, has been cancelled in Anderson, South Carolina, following a series of artist withdrawals.

The Anderson County stop, originally scheduled for July 25 and 26, will no longer take place, as confirmed by county administrator Rusty Burns.

Rock band Shinedown announced their exit, stating their decision was to avoid creating “further division” and to uphold their purpose of uniting people through music.

Rapper Ludacris also dropped off the bill, with his representative indicating a 'mix-up' regarding his initial inclusion.

I feel you, but in defense of the OP, they said "likely", after considering the fact that the band was included in the festival and they do not torment themselves with politics.

We all do this kind of judgment. I don't go to the USA because I'm probably gonna be discriminated as a Mexican. This is not the same as to say all Americans are bigots, but assuming you're American, you sure have some relative or acquaintance that would absolutely not love me there.

Even your example of being treated poorly for being Mexican doesn't apply to all of America. It surely doesn't apply to my relatives or acquaintances.

We all do these kinda of judgments because its a key way our brains work in the moment, and its very useful for survival. That does not mean its always right or useful to do so and we should be thoughtful about when it happens.
