Eh. I don't see Artists having any respect for conservatives until they completely disown and despise Trump and re-invent themselves keeping the decent core values they had in the first place. That's inevitable, I think. At that point conservatives will become tolerable and even accepted by the public again, they might even be more popular with Artists than progressive liberals. That won't last tho. Only for one turning.
And no, evangelical cishet white men are not oppressed and will not be anytime soon :/
Getting the stench off the Republican Party is going to be a slow process. Doing so will require a nearly-complete turnover of Republican politicians and the development of a different agenda from what they now have. Artist generations do not become conservatives until they see their world under threat, typically when the excesses of an Awakening Era arise. That won't be for perhaps twenty years.
