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.

It’s closer to someone saying “well they’re from Portland, so they’re probably somewhat open minded.”

These sorts of stereotypes about places are hugely common all over the place (do I want to get collard greens in North Dakota, clam chowder in Texas, or fry bread in Connecticut? Fuck no, even though they could be just as good as their counterparts from elsewhere) and they’re not that harmful IMO as long as they’re not viewed as absolute.

That said, I recognize that I’m essentially arguing in favor of stereotypes, so I’m very open to the idea that they are harmful in a way I’m not considering. And obviously they shouldn’t be used when getting something right is important, like in court.
