Most of Nashville is treading lightly around politics in the Trump era, but it wasn't always this way. We discuss how country first embraced the GOP, riffing on J. Lester Feder's work on Nixon and Nashville. Then we consider political messaging from Brad Paisley and the Brothers Osborne. Also: "celebrity cornhole challenge."
