Conservatives were mocked in the press
Virginia is considered a conservative state within the Bible Belt when it comes to politics but the Commonwealth has swung both ways when voting for Republicans and Democrats. The dictionary definition of conservatism is holding on to tradition and not being willing to change.
Last February during the Grammy Awards Sam Smith and Kim Petra were called devil worshippers for their performance of Unholy. Billboard referred to those who spoke against their production of Unholy as “Conservatives” suggesting that those who were against what took place were set in their ways and unwilling to change.
The distaste for the Satanic Circle, the red clothing, and devil horns went far beyond “conservatives” as The Los Angeles Times revealed that Brits were also shocked by the performance.
