Like clockwork, the conservative backlash to Beyoncé making country music has begun in earnest, and it's kicking off with the most triggered snowflake rant on rightwing news possible.
John Schneider, one of the stars of the '70s television show The Dukes of Hazzard, appeared on far-right propaganda network OAN to decry Beyoncé's alleged theft of a supposedly conservative art form.
That argument is mind-numbing on its face, but then he took it a step further by comparing Beyoncé and liberals in general to a dog peeing on a tree to mark its territory. 
Former Dukes of Hazzard actor and country singer John Schneider and the OAN host are upset about Beyonc\u00e9 releasing a country song, saying that leftists are trying to take over everything and Beyonc\u00e9 doing a country song is like a dog peeing on their tree.

Schneider and OAN host Alison Steinberg railed against liberals and the entertainment industry, implying that they have allowed Beyoncé to steal country music from conservatives. 
Steinberg said:
"The lefties in the entertainment industry just won't leave any area alone, right? They just have to seize control over every aspect, don't they?"Seeing as the country music industry is part of the entertainment industry and is itself run by the same people Steinberg is complaining about, this is what's called a leading question and is not actual journalism.
In any case, Schneider immediately took the bait and took Steinberg's take one step further, adding:
"They've got to make their mark, like a dog at a dog walk park, you know every dog has to mark every tree, so that's what's going on here."
Apparently a Black woman making music in a genre Black people helped invent, including by literally bringing the banjo from Africa when they were trafficked to the U.S. and to the Caribbean as slaves, is threatening to White conservatives.
As you might guess, Schneider's hot take has not been popular with Beyoncé's fans.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem. Earth has a great deal of diversity in both flora—plants—and fauna—animals because the planet has many different ecosystems.
From blazing deserts to frozen tundra, life has adapted to live on most areas of our planet. It's only extremely high peaks where life hasn't been found and that may someday change if the climate continues in the direction it's going.
