    Was that midterms? I know she doesn’t get political, but I think she was just telling her fans to make sure they go out and vote. More voters scares certain political parties. That’s my best guess anyway.

      She endorsed Biden in 2020 and has spoken out about the end of Roe v Wade and the importance of abortion rights, so while she hasn’t made it her personality her team is as clear as it can ever be for a billionaire.

              really ? Ok America… we need to talk. A court decision isn’t a solid enough basis for any rights, you need an actual law get your council of Elders to do something

                It’s supposed to be, though. A SCOTUS ruling like that is supposed to be, and traditionally has been, a confirmation that the laws (all things considered) already say it. You don’t need a new law, the interpreter/referee says the current laws already cover it.

                The problems right now are a corrupt judiciary, and a government that does not represent nor even resemble the populace.

      That’s what I don’t like about her. She’s just in it for the money, and she’s a vapid mo-fo with nothing much to say. Just like her detractors.

      Has it really come to a point where public political discourse is some dumb fuck against some other dumb fuck?

      Before you say it was always like that, think it over, because it is not true.

      Edit: sigh… and the plebs just keep running the propaganda machine’s errands by doing exactly what it tells them to.

          I did, I took a 45 year hard look and I think you’re a hammer seeing everything as nails. I hate what she represents, a media cabal pitting idiots against each other to distract from what is really going on. Not that she’s a woman. Would you say I’m bigoted against deluded rednecks too?

          Edit: crickets and downvotes. Seems there is no debating some people, they just “know” they’re right.

            I’m guessing you’re not getting many replies because you’re not forming a coherent argument.

            Your first comment was against Taylor Swift expressing the view that her fans should go out and vote. Your second comment is against “what she represents” which you left undefined other than the media cabal which is a separate issue and outside of her control.

    It’s even more embarrassing, though. The full-time pundits and career politicians pitching a hissy fit right now aren’t alt-right incels. Whining about Taylor Swift is a coordinated strategy.

      It’s not the most useful distinction when the full-time pundits and career politicians in question are taking their cues from the alt-right incels. Certainly still an embarrassment though. This is not how the GOP (re?)gains its credibility among the sane.

        Their goal isn’t to win credibility with the sane. It’s genocide. They want to exterminate or enslave anyone who disagrees because they know they’ll never win back credibility.

            Think about the “demographics shifts” rhetoric. They’re straight up saying “if we don’t murder or criminalize a bunch of people, we have no future.” The only path to continuing to enrich themselves is terrorism and mass murder. Like, I agree, if saving puppies was profitable they’d be doing that instead but it’s not.

            Their only agenda is enriching themselves. It’s just that that agenda happens to coincidence with “kill everyone else or they’ll stop us from taking all the money.”

      They should be courting her not bitching about her. If she said in concert that she would be verry disappointed in anyone that didn’t vote x. It would be difficult to derail that swatch of engaged people.

        What could they possibly offer to win her loyalty? We know where she stands on reproductive rights and while it may be a single issue, it’s an enormous single issue for a significant portion of the electorate.

      With the Kansas City Chiefs headed to Super Bowl LVIII, influential MAGA Media personalities have started circulating conspiracy theories about the pop superstar, promoting the deranged notion that she is part of a sprawling psychological operations plot staged by the NFL and Democratic Party to deliver the 2024 presidential election to President Joe Biden.

      Mr. Kelce’s advertisements promoting Pfizer’s Covid vaccine and Bud Light

      speculation that Ms. Swift is after Mr. Kelce for his money.

      Some say he’s gay https://twitter.com/OwenBenjamin/status/1752422032187470011

      My favourite quote mentioned in that article courtesy of Fox News

      “It’s real. The Pentagon psy-op unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for combating misinformation online,” Watters said.
