The Swift effect

MAGA World Is About to Meet Taylor Swift’s Fandom. It Won’t Go Well.
Swift expert Brian Donovan on why the political right is targeting a rich, heteronormative pop star.

So MAGA world is having a melt-down over Taylor Swift. Do they honestly think attacking her is going to bring more voters to the right? Have they abandoned all logical reasoning?

 

The only people who could possibly think Swift is a political threat are those who are mentally deranged. Bloody hell…get a grip folks.

 

I think the RIGHT considers her a threat. And that might be a self fulfilling "prophecy".

ASSUMING she decides to go political. And, for the good of the country, we need all-hands-on-deck to stop the despot.

 

Do you think it is a tell-tale sign of the MAGA implosion to come?

 

Well, they support trump, so yeah.

 

Well... it's one of the signs of the MAGA implosion to come. MAGAs implosion signals are everywhere.

 

I am so sick of seeing stories about Swift, even here I can't escape them.

 

Blame maga for that.

 

given that the average swiftie won't be able to vote for three of for years and that mom's of swifties looking at the hole those pricey tickets leave in the family budget likely aren't exactly thrilled the appropriate response to taylor swift is who cares?

 

Old enough to fill out the check boxes on the parents' mail in ballots

 

Thanks for the MAGA tip.

 

They've already imploded, it pretty much began with DFT's descent down the escalator.

 

Meh, its a nothing burger. According to a Bill Maher clip I saw she's been accredited with around 18k voters for Biden in 2020. She has somewhere around 300-400 million followers on social media. Yet she only garnered him 18k votes. Its all just media hype.

 

A strong, talented, accomplished and independent woman, why would MAGA fear that?

 

My largest concern regarding Taylor Swift is that she did not do her duty to pass on her genes. In a sane world, she would be motivated to fulfill her natural role as a wife and mother. She is living an empty life of materialism and casual sex resulting in anxiety and body dysmorphia. I do feel sorry for her and hope she finds a man who can give her children and happiness.

 

You will see MANY celebrities doing everything in their power to stop the criminal despot. Starting the moment he is nominated and until November. So don't get sick too quick. This is just the beginning. You will have A LOT of suffering to do.

 

Hmmm, interesting. You must be a fan of the old B&W TV shows like Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver.

 

I agree, it is a nothing burger, but all of this is coming from the right.

 

I don't care about what celebrities think. I am just tired of the obsession of one person.

 

I'm not shallow enough to have my voting decision swayed by a singer.

 

That is a true statement, however, only one is capable of destroying our Democracy.

 

Of course not! That's the job of a conman.

 

What about a soft matress topper?

 

She’s a pop star with a following. The vast majority of her fans are Democrats, so she makes no difference. The few Republican “Swifties” are stupid if she changes their vote.

 

YOU? It's not about you. It's about people who normally don't pay attention to politics, but they do to celebrities.

YOU will just be the one feeling sick... all year long.
