Stella Parton, Dolly's little sister and the least famous person in that family, just went full unhinged on Facebook and wished Elon Musk would die and get eaten by worms. Why? Because when she tried to vote early in Tennessee, the machine kept defaulting to the Republican candidate. Three times. She had to correct it. The horror.
' To think people like Elon Musk and Russian bots may be upended another election makes my skin crawl. May they all die and worms eat them,' she posted. This is the same woman who lost her sister to cancer and decided the appropriate response to a voting machine glitch was a death wish for the guy who bought Twitter and stopped the censorship of the last decade. Priorities.
She's a vocal Democrat who says she would never vote for Marsha Blackburn. Fine. But instead of just voting and moving on, she turned it into a conspiracy involving Elon, Russian bots, and the end of democracy. The Tennessee Secretary of State said they've gotten one complaint like this out of hundreds of thousands of ballots. One. Stella is that one. And she decided the solution was worms.
This is peak Democratic culture in 2026. Your ballot doesn't do what you want, so the richest guy on the planet who supports free speech must die. Not the machine vendor. Not the local election official. Elon. Because everything bad is his fault now. Inflation, borders, your Facebook feed, and apparently Tennessee voting machines that have a mind of their own.
Dolly built an empire on talent and a brand that stayed above the fray. Stella is out here posting death threats against tech billionaires because her early vote took three tries. If this is the intellectual firepower the left is bringing to the midterms, Republicans should just stay home and let the worm-eaters handle it. The country will figure out which side is serious about elections and which side is still mad about 2020 in a different font.
Voters aren't buying the 'rigged' line when the only evidence is one singer who can't operate a touchscreen. They are, however, noticing the side that responds to frustration with 'may they die and worms eat them.' That's not resistance. That's a tantrum from someone who thought the machine was supposed to read her mind.
Stella can keep posting. The rest of us will keep voting. And the worms can wait their turn.
