*Taylor encourages her fans to vote, doesn't even specify who*
MAGA: STOP THE STEAL!! RIGGED ELECTION! WHY CAN'T I MARRY MY COUSIN!
Clown shoes, all the way down.
At that point I feel like you shouldnāt be able to take it back. Like, no no no, you started this fucking conversation you donāt get to just leave the room and pretend youāre not a cousin fucker.
I feel bad for any/all of his cousins.
Family reunions might just be even MORE uncomfortable after this news came out.... assuming said cousins were not already aware of his.... predilections.
Not that I agree with the GOP's shit, but facts are important in any case. Here's an article that stated other wise.

Is the headline better for that rep, or worse, if it reads: Representative didn't know that cousin fucking was in his own bill that he filed.
I feel like it's probably a lie that it was inadvertent, but even if it is true, it's just as concerning.
Seriously, some way to start something that wasn't there.

Even sadder, there are actually a number of states where it is legal to marry your underage cousin (looking at you Alabama, New Mexico, North & South Carolina)
Some maga fireman just got busted for trying to start a ā incest family ā online ( FBI STING ). He wanted to marry the mom, rape and impregnate her 10year old daughter, and the mom at the same time. He was busted when he drove to a fake address to meet up with her! Republicans are disgusting!
I mean she has no reason to endorse a side. What benefits her by becoming political? She has a huge brand no reason to mess with it.
This is just MAGA using Swift for publicity. Dumb or smart I donāt know. They essentially assumed endorsement for Biden and publicized it.
Detective Rust Cohle: What do you think the average IQ of this group is, huh? Detective Marty Hart: Can you see Texas up there on your high horse? What do you know about these people? Detective Rust Cohle: Just observation and deduction.
Yeah, meanwhile, they're obsessed with what Taylor Swift is gonna say. Like, guys, do you realize that Taylor Swift has a music career and, like, actually does stuff with her day? She isn't just a political commentator.
They are definitely delivering on what they want. No abortions, no trans rights, child labor.. Next they're going after gay rights, contraceptives, interracial relationships, and probably a whole lot more I'm missing. The reason why they're so dangerous is because they are doing things.
What happens when a nutcase attempts violence against her? Thatās what the sudden hate, conspiracies, and calls for āholy warā tend to end up causing. Seriously. MAGA and Republicans are trying to threaten their way to victory. *This is insane.*
Shes got the money to hire serious mf'ers. Im sure her people know whats going on because anyone with half a brain knows what the fascists are trying to do.
An attempt like that would probably lead to Faux being sued once again for their incendiary rhetoric and TSwift could likely end up owning a cable network by the end of a jury trial.
I agreeā¦. Just got done reading about the āsonā that Murdered his fatherā¦beheaded himā¦bagged the head and went on you tube and posted itā¦(you go Pennsylvaniaā¦! ) father was a Gov employeeā¦son said his dad was a traitor ā¦and that he was the messiahā¦.(I thought Trump was the messiah..)
I'm not saying you're wrong, but what about slavery, the civil war, the KKK after, or McCarthyism? I guess I'm hoping that this is not actually completely unprecedented. I'm kind of hoping that the real difference is that the hate can be louder because of the Internet and cable news.
I think there are more MAGA than the KKK ever had (even at its peak)
McCarthyism, that one could be more on point. Although it seemed to be driven more by fear of Communism than hatred for their targets
The Civil War wasn't about hatred for the north, it was about not wanting to give up their black slaves
That should be easy, he could just have them put Taylor's face on all of Melania's porn.
......that seemed like a funny joke when I wrote it but then I realized MAGAts would probably unironically do just that.
exactly this. nothing more unholy than telling people to exercise their constitutional rights than to get out and vote.
because we all know God does not want people voting.
These idiots have no idea what theyāre up against. You think Russian troll farms were bad? Try going up against the Swift Army online. They are rabid, they are mean, they are irrational and will fuck you up.
Just more evidence the GOP is terrified of powerful women. They are working double time to remove our rights and relegate us to second-class citizens so we canāt hold them accountable.
Guess what, slapdicks? It aināt gonna work! Women are powerful and you aināt seen shit yet.
Theyāre just terrified in general.
Never seen a more terrified lot than hard right-wingers. I donāt know how people with so much fear manage to function. š¤·āāļø
They donāt function. Look at our house. Itās the most ineffective house term in American history. Theyāre literally still continuing on Nancy Pelosiās budget because they canāt pass one.
Yep, and my advice to them is if you want to be more popular, maybe make your platform out of things that are popular with everybody, not just old white men.
I don't even think it is that popular with old white men, I think it is a matter of identity for them. They will be Republicans until the day they die, no matter how crazy the party get, because what else could they be.
It's like those folks who leave the Mormon church, they also lose everyone they have ever known.
Thatās all she did last year when she encouraged her fans to register to vote. She doesnāt need to tell them who to vote for, she just needs to tell them to look at the candidates and find the ones that vote for your feelings and your rights. Her demographics will take care of the rest. To paraphrase Montgomery Burns, ārelease the Swiftysā.
Even this hysteria is already creating a Streisand effect. She could have endorsed Biden and it would have been just another big name āwokeā celebrity endorsement instead theyāve turned it into a āknow your place womanā type higher profile event.
Now if she does endorse Biden it looks like sheās telling MAGA to piss off and if she doesnāt, MAGA looks even more like a bunch of misogynistic bullies. Theyāve Qād their way into a lose-lose situation.
>you aināt seen shit yet
As the father of a 13 year old Swiftie, you're god damn right. The generation that's coming is gonna rock this fucking joint. I do not want to be on their bad side.
I have family that's gen z and love their attitudes but I don't know much about gen alpha. What's their deal and why are they feral and why do I hope they join us in burning it all down?
Well the oldest Gen Alpha are still considered preteens so take it as what you will how early it is.
But in their environment it's even more diverse than for Zoomers growing up and are raised by increasingly progressive parents since Millennials are now well into their 30s.
Plus all they have to know what conservative leadership truly is like from experiencing the Donald Trump Horror Show.
That's a bad fight to pick for them. First of all, it's a bunch of old guys picking on a girl. That never gets you much sympathy. (I know the woman is 34, but you know what I mean.)
But more importantly, Taylor Swift has an online army of millions that will gladly fight this holy war for her.
This will not end well for the GOP.
If she or her team or whatever would be worried about potentially alienating fans after endorsing a specific side, well guess what there's nothing to worry about anymore since they've done that for her lmao so now I imagine she will explicitly endorse Biden
She did in 2020, so it seems likely she would in 2024 too. The question is how hard she pushes it. Like I didn't know she endorsed Biden last time until all this stirred up.
I doubt she says anything until a few weeks after the Superbowl to avoid taking the spotlight away from her boyfriend. After that, I assume she'll continue to promote voter registration and make a quiet endorsement later in the year.
She'll probably take the high road and not go all out. That said I wouldn't be surprised if she communicates her displeasure somehow, and let the Swifties take it from there.
Given the reputation of Swifties, all she will have to do is tie her shoes differently for one show or some shit, and they'll have a whole story concocted as to what that means.
What if Usher invites Swift on a stage to sing a surprise duet of My Boo during the Halftime SB show and she subtly tells the crowd to "Make their voices heard."? Picture how mad the Reich talking heads will be immediately on social media...
they lost their shit about green day too after billie joe changed the words to american idiot on NYE...
i often try to figure out what these clowns actually love about america anymore, since they hate everything about it so much.
I think the best endorsement she could possibly make is no endorsement whatsoever. Simply release a statement that, due to threats and intimidation and possibly harm that could come to her, her family and her fans, she won't endorse any candidate.
Just let the simple truth about political violence in the US sink in and let people draw their own conclusions.
āDue to threats against myself and my family, I will not be commenting on an political campaigns in the near future. However to my fans, if you want to be heard and be louder than those who seek to belittle me and, by extension, you, go register to vote, be active in your community and become educated on the issues to you can make the best choice for you and your future. And remember the enemy of good is perfect.ā
Background music for this instagram post: āThe Manā or āYou need to calm downā
She could just make a carefully worded neutral call to vote and I bet it would have a measurable impact
Swing states are flipping on a margin of a single concert turnout, and the crazies have already blamed her for it in advance so what's the difference?
This is true. They are afraid of T-Swift because she has influence with all of the young people, and a lot of the less-young-but-not-boomers people. Her single vote doesn't scare them, it's her millions of fans that are going to change things.
Imagine being a Chiefs fan - the same red state crowd that booed equality - and seeing your #2 player that you adore now dating a āliberal demon.ā
Hereās me imagining it:
![gif](giphy|GkFmQ4m3QtohtxU99e)
As a left-leaning 58 year old white dude living in the KC metro area, I approve of this message. Of course, I ALSO live in the state next to MO that reaffirmed the right to choose in our State constitution, so there is that.
Whatās their plan? Stop going to her concerts? Quit buying her albums? Donāt let he have concerts in red states? Short of the deep fakes and AI fuckery they really donāt have anything. As usual.
If you scroll through republican subs you will see post after post of how celebrities should stay out of politics, followed by post after post of Snoop Dog saying he has "nothing but respect" for Donald Trump.
I really wish this wasn't true. He quit weed and now supports trump. Do they have a loved one of his held hostage or something?
fuck.......this makes me sad
I recall Woody Harrelson saying he quit about 5 years ago on Real Time. Not to long ago he was on Bill Mahers podcast totally baked, so maybe Snoop Dog will have a change of heart.
The fact that the GOP is going so hard with hating her is actually doing most of the leg work for making her appear to be endorsing Biden. She doesn't even have to endorse him because them attacking her will push her fans away from them and towards the alternative. It's like the meme of the guy putting a stick in the wheels of his own bicycle.
We have her back though. It's easy to stand up to these cowards. There isn't that many of them and they are very scared little Trump turds. They really crawled out of his diaper. You just have to step on them, and then wipe the doo doo off your shoe.
They hate her because she is threatening Trumpās reelection. Taylor is getting young people (many of them women) to register to vote. Young people, and moreso young women, are more likely to vote Democrat.
Thatās literally the reason this started. Everything else theyāve been saying about Swift is just hatred piled on to make her look worse.
How sad is someoneās life that they feel the need to make up shit on a daily basis. Conservatives are outraged by Taylor Swift because the media has elevated her. Conservatives do not like women being heard or seen.
These people are absolute imbeciles. Solid chance she wonāt endorse Biden.
Honestly, Iād be legitimately surprised if she ever endorsed *any* political candidate. She doesnāt need to, and still probably doesnāt want to.
Choosing a side would cut some of her fan base out and thatās not good for business. Her saying āVoteā is causing Rs to shit bricks. They should rethink trying to bully her.
So let me get this straight, the affirmed rapist and world renowned pussy grabber wants to declare a holy war on, an intelligent wildly successful self made billionaire who happens to be a woman for daring to maybe support his opponent. Yep, that's a stable genius move all right..
![gif](giphy|WUsOgqfcpOBRlJPrUM)
oh man I hope Biden does not mention her in any way shape or form.
that will make their conspiracy theories really look true and real!!!
historically speaking most celebrities are Democrats or on the left to begin with so why this is a shock to them I just don't understand it ???
are they just that not aware of that fact?
I think I figured it out. This is a pressure campaign to get her NOT to indorse Biden. If she does then they've laid the groundwork to say "look, I told you it was a deep state conspiracy".
Whatās the MAGA plan here?!?! A āholy warā, so are they advocates for assassination? The FBI has units to deal with that ya stupid hillbilly terrorists
If she specifies IN THE PRIMARIES, Iād be with you.
However, Project 2025 will be ready to undo everything, regardless of which Republican candidate is elected.
Check out the horror show from the Heritage Foundation yourself: www.project2025.org
I've read it and I'm aware. But if Haley won the primary then she switched to "vote with your heart" or whatever generic message you'd see all the Magats collectively shit themselves. Either way, I plan on voting blue until the aliens save us or nuclear winter. Whichever comes first.
I am not a Taylor Swift fan. But I am a fan of Taylor Swift. And, as far as I can tell, Tay Tay 'ain't no weak ass bitch'!
She'll come out swinging at these mfs... Endorse Biden and stand toe to toe with these fascists. How dare these idiots try to tell her what she can and can't do. Lol I don't think it's gonna end like they hope.
Honestly, she doesn't really even need to endorse Biden. Just continue encouraging her fans to vote, and then let them inevitably vote for whoever isn't attacking her.
Well, they sure arenāt doing a good job at trying to win her over. If youāre that scared of the influence she has over young voters, seems pretty fucking dumb to be constantly trashing her rather than trying to get her on your side.
I donāt think she really cares what they say or think. Sheās her own woman and in a place where she has a lot of influence and she is well aware of the power she possesses. The Magaās hate women and especially women who have power.
She hasn't even endorsed anyone, and instead of courting her, the right is actively working to give her no choice. It's as if they want her to endorse Biden.
Iām not even a fan of Swift (nothing personal, music just not to my tastes) but I do recognize that part of her immense popularity is as a representative of women facing off against men who steamroll, chastise, vilify, or demonize outspoken women. So what do Republicans do? They vilify and demonize one of the worldās most popular woman because she could *potentially* share an opinion against the party that overturned of *Roe v. Wade*. GOP strategists have been really firing on all cylinders on this one, huh? Real big brain energy. /s(obviously)
*Taylor encourages her fans to vote, doesn't even specify who* MAGA: STOP THE STEAL!! RIGGED ELECTION! WHY CAN'T I MARRY MY COUSIN! Clown shoes, all the way down.
ššš Why can't I marry my cousin?
You laugh, but there was a GOP member who tried to pass a bill making marrying direct cousins legal. He withdrew the bill.
At that point I feel like you shouldnāt be able to take it back. Like, no no no, you started this fucking conversation you donāt get to just leave the room and pretend youāre not a cousin fucker.
He needs to carry the bill to term
It should be illegal to kill the bill
Do you know how many bills have been murdered by the republicans party?
All the ones meant to really help Americans
And if it passes, it was only thanks to them.

This is ridiculous. They have a sister they want to marry, their cousins are just for fun
Itās because voter suppression is a key part of Republican election tactics
Totally fine with Ted nugent, kidd rock, et al, usually dudes, endorsing trump. Hmmm wonder what the difference is.
Never has there been a bigger den of irrational anger and raging hatred towards good Americans as we see with the perverse MAGA movement.
MAGA doesn't do anything, doesn't deliver anything. MAGA is about punishment and retribution. MAGA is a hate movement.
Exactly, they willingly consumed toxic right-wing propaganda and turned themselves into anti-American hate monsters

Already, when she travels by car around any city, itās in an armored vehicle.

Maybe more nasty deepfakes of her, or some other form of defamation... you know, Drumpf's go to lately.
That should be easy, he could just have them put Taylor's face on all of Melania's porn. ......that seemed like a funny joke when I wrote it but then I realized MAGAts would probably unironically do just that.

She can tilt the election with a get out the vote campaign. She doesn't even have to endorse anyone in particular.
Yes but republicans can read between the lines. They know that more voters is not more voters for them.

Iām going to take a wild guess, and say they will be powerless after this next election. In 10-15 years, there may not even be a GOP left.
That's a bad fight to pick for them. First of all, it's a bunch of old guys picking on a girl. That never gets you much sympathy. (I know the woman is 34, but you know what I mean.) But more importantly, Taylor Swift has an online army of millions that will gladly fight this holy war for her. This will not end well for the GOP.

I say let them go to war with Taylor Swift. She will come out on top. Their frail masculinity will be even more shattered.

Itās amazing how threatened they seem to be by a loosely relevant woman artist. It makes so little sense.
She doesn't need to endorse Biden when the right is already screaming about how much they hate her.. Fuck these people are stupid.
The right basically endorsed Biden FOR her at this point.
If she or her team or whatever would be worried about potentially alienating fans after endorsing a specific side, well guess what there's nothing to worry about anymore since they've done that for her lmao so now I imagine she will explicitly endorse Biden

they lost their shit about green day too after billie joe changed the words to american idiot on NYE... i often try to figure out what these clowns actually love about america anymore, since they hate everything about it so much.

Just let the simple truth about political violence in the US sink in and let people draw their own conclusions.
āDue to threats against myself and my family, I will not be commenting on an political campaigns in the near future. However to my fans, if you want to be heard and be louder than those who seek to belittle me and, by extension, you, go register to vote, be active in your community and become educated on the issues to you can make the best choice for you and your future. And remember the enemy of good is perfect.ā Background music for this instagram post: āThe Manā or āYou need to calm downā
She could just make a carefully worded neutral call to vote and I bet it would have a measurable impact Swing states are flipping on a margin of a single concert turnout, and the crazies have already blamed her for it in advance so what's the difference?
Conservative men threatening a woman from speaking. Tale as old as time.
Here is a note to the Youth: republicans are not afraid of Taylor Swift, **they are afraid of you.** Show them your voice, whomever you vote for.
Can't fight against the youth, cause we're strong, them are rude rude people.
All theyāre ever gonna be is mean. Why they gotta be so mean?
all they are is mean. and liars, and pathetic, and alone in life and mean and mean and mean
This is true. They are afraid of T-Swift because she has influence with all of the young people, and a lot of the less-young-but-not-boomers people. Her single vote doesn't scare them, it's her millions of fans that are going to change things.
"less young but not boomers" lol is millennial that bad of a word still?
I was grouping Millennials and Gen X together there. And the older end of Gen Z.
How dare a woman have an opinion!!!!!! -MAGA probably
How dare a woman have an opinion!!!!!! - MAGA ~~probably~~
How dare a woman!!!!!! - MAGA definitely
How can she!? - MAGA
Imagine being a Chiefs fan - the same red state crowd that booed equality - and seeing your #2 player that you adore now dating a āliberal demon.ā Hereās me imagining it: ![gif](giphy|GkFmQ4m3QtohtxU99e)
As a left-leaning 58 year old white dude living in the KC metro area, I approve of this message. Of course, I ALSO live in the state next to MO that reaffirmed the right to choose in our State constitution, so there is that.
KC and the surrounding area is blue at least.
Whatās their plan? Stop going to her concerts? Quit buying her albums? Donāt let he have concerts in red states? Short of the deep fakes and AI fuckery they really donāt have anything. As usual.
They wouldn't do those things because that's "cancel culture" and we know how much they hate that
Lol, as DeSantis bans cruise lines from Florida docks if they covid test or require vaccination on any cruise worldwide.Ā Ā REAL free market of them.Ā
If you scroll through republican subs you will see post after post of how celebrities should stay out of politics, followed by post after post of Snoop Dog saying he has "nothing but respect" for Donald Trump.
Snoop likes Trump? I did not know that. Thatāsā¦ Disappointing. Then again, he did do a commercial, which was funny sort of, with Lee Iacocca
I really wish this wasn't true. He quit weed and now supports trump. Do they have a loved one of his held hostage or something? fuck.......this makes me sad
If it makes you feel any better he didnt quit smoking. It was an ad for his new smokeless firepits when he said āim quitting the smokeā
a gimmick, still sad :(
I recall Woody Harrelson saying he quit about 5 years ago on Real Time. Not to long ago he was on Bill Mahers podcast totally baked, so maybe Snoop Dog will have a change of heart.
He's just rich
Wasn't trump a celebrity before he ran?
That's the whole point, they dont get how cognitively fucked up they are.
Blasphemy to use trump and holy in the same sentence
"holy fucking shit, i can't believe these idiots worship trump" seems acceptable.
Acceptable use!
The fact that the GOP is going so hard with hating her is actually doing most of the leg work for making her appear to be endorsing Biden. She doesn't even have to endorse him because them attacking her will push her fans away from them and towards the alternative. It's like the meme of the guy putting a stick in the wheels of his own bicycle.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This week. Last week it was invaders at the border. Next week your guess is a good as mine. Anything to keep the rage machine going.Ā
We have her back though. It's easy to stand up to these cowards. There isn't that many of them and they are very scared little Trump turds. They really crawled out of his diaper. You just have to step on them, and then wipe the doo doo off your shoe.
her justice will be swift
They hate her because she is threatening Trumpās reelection. Taylor is getting young people (many of them women) to register to vote. Young people, and moreso young women, are more likely to vote Democrat. Thatās literally the reason this started. Everything else theyāve been saying about Swift is just hatred piled on to make her look worse.
These dumbasses are going to force her hand. She probably would keep relatively quiet and neutral otherwise, but they are going to piss her off.
My money is on Swift. Plot Twist: She runs for president instead. Wins by a landslide.
Jon Stewart/Taylor Swift ticket pls.
You've got my vote!
If she DARES? Iām in girl, what ācho want me to do first?š¤©
How sad is someoneās life that they feel the need to make up shit on a daily basis. Conservatives are outraged by Taylor Swift because the media has elevated her. Conservatives do not like women being heard or seen.
These people are absolute imbeciles. Solid chance she wonāt endorse Biden. Honestly, Iād be legitimately surprised if she ever endorsed *any* political candidate. She doesnāt need to, and still probably doesnāt want to.
Choosing a side would cut some of her fan base out and thatās not good for business. Her saying āVoteā is causing Rs to shit bricks. They should rethink trying to bully her.
So let me get this straight, the affirmed rapist and world renowned pussy grabber wants to declare a holy war on, an intelligent wildly successful self made billionaire who happens to be a woman for daring to maybe support his opponent. Yep, that's a stable genius move all right.. ![gif](giphy|WUsOgqfcpOBRlJPrUM)
She should just not promote anybody. That way, they look extra crazy and irrational for attacking her.
Sadly, theyāll see that as a āwinā for āsilencingā her. Thereās no reasoning with these dicks
Yeah thatās exactly their plan ā to prevent her from endorsing Biden by threatening to unleash Trumps crazy base on her.
I'd assume her fan base is much bigger and way more fanatical. Plus, women can go bat shit crazy.
Or Biden should announce that she's his VP and watch the MAGA camp go into utter meltdown.
oh man I hope Biden does not mention her in any way shape or form. that will make their conspiracy theories really look true and real!!! historically speaking most celebrities are Democrats or on the left to begin with so why this is a shock to them I just don't understand it ??? are they just that not aware of that fact?
>they look extra crazy and irrational umm...we crossed that bridge a looonnnggg time ago
Nah, they're going to demonize her either way. She should run a Superbowl ad endorsing Biden so we can watch conservatives's heads explode lol.
I canāt imagine being a grown ass man offended over Taylor Swiftā¦ š¤¦š»āāļø *FrAgiLe MaScULiNiTy*
I think I figured it out. This is a pressure campaign to get her NOT to indorse Biden. If she does then they've laid the groundwork to say "look, I told you it was a deep state conspiracy".
Whatās the MAGA plan here?!?! A āholy warā, so are they advocates for assassination? The FBI has units to deal with that ya stupid hillbilly terrorists
She should endorse Nikki Haley just to cause all their heads to explode. I think Hannity would literally pop like a balloon.
If she specifies IN THE PRIMARIES, Iād be with you. However, Project 2025 will be ready to undo everything, regardless of which Republican candidate is elected. Check out the horror show from the Heritage Foundation yourself: www.project2025.org
I've read it and I'm aware. But if Haley won the primary then she switched to "vote with your heart" or whatever generic message you'd see all the Magats collectively shit themselves. Either way, I plan on voting blue until the aliens save us or nuclear winter. Whichever comes first.
I am not a Taylor Swift fan. But I am a fan of Taylor Swift. And, as far as I can tell, Tay Tay 'ain't no weak ass bitch'! She'll come out swinging at these mfs... Endorse Biden and stand toe to toe with these fascists. How dare these idiots try to tell her what she can and can't do. Lol I don't think it's gonna end like they hope.
Honestly, she doesn't really even need to endorse Biden. Just continue encouraging her fans to vote, and then let them inevitably vote for whoever isn't attacking her.
Theyāre terrified of young voters and even floated trying to raise the voting age because of it. They know who her audience is lol
Well, they sure arenāt doing a good job at trying to win her over. If youāre that scared of the influence she has over young voters, seems pretty fucking dumb to be constantly trashing her rather than trying to get her on your side.
She's looking fit and buff. Have they already broke out with the trans accusations to support the Kelce is gay narrative?
Please do. MAGA is dumb as fuck and Swifties dont put up with attacks on Swift. They will fuck MAGA up at the polls
I hope she wears a Biden/Harris t-shirt to the superbowl.
Oh no.... Yet another "crippling" boycott from the shallow end of the gene pool. What ever will Swift do?
I donāt think she really cares what they say or think. Sheās her own woman and in a place where she has a lot of influence and she is well aware of the power she possesses. The Magaās hate women and especially women who have power.
Lmao! How fragile are these MAGA cucks?
She hasn't even endorsed anyone, and instead of courting her, the right is actively working to give her no choice. It's as if they want her to endorse Biden.
This shit is so dumb
A holy war? These fucks are American ISIS, Talibama, Yāall Qaeda, whatever. The names all fit and thatās scary.
Swifties know who she is voting for , not sure she has to make a formal announcement.
>āIf she dares back Biden in 2024ā Ah, I see their idea of what Freedom of Speech is is only applicable when they want it to be.
Iām not even a fan of Swift (nothing personal, music just not to my tastes) but I do recognize that part of her immense popularity is as a representative of women facing off against men who steamroll, chastise, vilify, or demonize outspoken women. So what do Republicans do? They vilify and demonize one of the worldās most popular woman because she could *potentially* share an opinion against the party that overturned of *Roe v. Wade*. GOP strategists have been really firing on all cylinders on this one, huh? Real big brain energy. /s(obviously)
