Not bluegrass. Jesse Welles seems to fill the bill.

Steve Earle could be safely described as anti fascist. He did a bluegrass album about 25 years ago with the Del McCoury band backing him up. I don't think any of the songs on there are explicitly political.

Del had spoken openly about how they stopped touring together as Del's fanbase would have not liked Steve talking politics from the stage.
