Dolly was profound in a day and age full of influencers harassing people and atrocities being committed for clout. She had the money, the status, the talent. She could have been an absolute bitch and suffered no consequences.
She chose not to.
I admire Dolly purely for that one important incorruptible fact.
I also do not adhere to that myself and pass out rainbow bricks at gay pride festivals.
At the lowest level, it is possible to pull people in your peer-group out of shitty world views. It's slow and difficult. But like I got an old coworker to be way less homophobic through our chats at work.

Dolly taught me to be a decent person, Henry Rollins taught me how to deal with bigots and fascist.

Interesting, can anybody point me to anyone associated with America's "left" doing anything even remotely like this?

He could try. He should try. He won't end up in the same realm as her.
