Michigan Advance’s Susan J. Demas opines…
Trump is reportedly preoccupied with Swift endorsing Biden again (which doesn’t seem like it would be a big surprise), muttering that he’s “more popular” than the megastar, while aides are chest-beating that they’ll start a “holy war” against her. The hope seems to be to intimidate Swift into silence or make the whole thing seem cringe to dampen excitement if she does become a Biden surrogate.
But it gets weirder.
The MAGA Swift hate seems to have reached a bizarre tipping point as she and Kelce have been hailed as the All-American couple, a veritable Norman Rockwell painting come to life. Real Americans are Trumpers, so the lore and Rust Belt diner-fed punditry goes. This simply cannot stand.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
And lo, this election’s wackiest conspiracy theory was born. Kelce and Swift, you see, aren’t two rich, crazy kids in love. No, they’re integral parts of a Deep State psyop to ensure Biden’s reelection.
Is the GOP’s desperation making them (moreso) insane or is the GOP’s insanity making them desperate?
BTW, congrats, Swifty, on your record-breaking Grammy for Midnights last night! 🏆 💿 🎶 Your bank transfer from the Illuminati is forthwith. 🤣
Okay, but they’re far above a real American couple in status, riches, and lifestyle. This may be the least important part of this whole thing, but they’re still part of the way upper classes with zero of the problems the rest of us have.
Can we stop worshipping the rich and famous in general, please?
Worshipping the wealthy and influential is a tale as old as time. I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon.
