I wish the Democrats played more conservative songs like Loretta Lynn. Although, maybe she's never allowed her music into politics, but some of her songs are extremely relevant today. She literally has one called "The Pill."
There was always a real progressive movement from the South - let's not forget that "bleeding heart liberals" was a term coined by right wingers to describe religious progressives, of which there were plenty in Tennessee back before Reagan.
I think the whole "pro-life" thing co-opted a lot of the progressive sentiments from Southern religious folks. And instead of them softening the "pro-life" movement, it hardened the religious folks into right wing stances.
