The Democrats were always the most racist and pro slavery.

You must be really old, because what you mention was 175 years ago.

 

Question: which Party passed the Civil Rights Act?

How long until House Republicans open an inquiry into Taylor Swift?

You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig. The Democrats will always be the racist pro slave party.

 

You are not keeping up with current events. The Republican Southern Strategy prompted racists to desert the Democratic Party, over 50 years ago.

Exactly! Impeach Taylor Swift!😁

 

Oops! My mistake, It's Hunter Biden who's going to be impeached! 😃

8 pages. Im sure i cant add much  

I think as a person selling albums and concert tickets you wouldn't want to alienate any political party.   So i think Taylor will just stick with recruiting people to register to vote.   And that pisses off the GOP because they know her base  is young and female voters and they will predominantly vote blue.  Women are fking going to decimate the GOP after roe vs Wade.

That ship has sailed. Taylor Swift has no interest in being apolitical. Not much of her money comes from concert tickets anymore.

"According to the editors of the Wall Street Journal's editorial page, conservatives who are buying into internet conspiracies about Taylor Swift, her romance with NFL star Travis Kelce and how it is an elaborate plot to steal the 2024 election need to step away from social media and go outside and get some fresh air."

I did so once for about 15 minutes - mind you for the first 12 I was under the impression it was a live streaming of a "Where's Wally" event of some kind!

They're not conservatives. They're maga cultists. Most of the republican party is now maga but old style conservatives still exist, some republicans, some indendents, and even some democrats.

Hence, the right-wing low-IQ pundits are afraid of Ms. Swift's efforts to get more people to register to vote and to vote.

I think we agree.

I want to see her do an in-country tour in summer/fall with facilities to register to vote outside the venues (such will be run local Dem parties, and not part of the show).  The Fox employees on television will be cautioning that the plot is to turn the country into Barbieland.  It also will give them a place to stand against the threat of "female empowerment" (put that threat in the same category as their battle against Michele Obama's black rage) and it will backfire on them bigly.  Also get the female on-air employees to do their alternate-day bs on women's issues: a mother who works is an abomination because a woman's place is in the home, children need their mothers, etc.  Next day, stay-at-home moms are blasted for being too lazy to work.  This hypocrisy/schizophrenia has been a staple of Fox for decades, and put people like Meghan Kelly in the price range she now occupies.  My sentiment for TS is "go get'em, kid!"

 

 

Back on topic.

 

So you would think that the right would embrace that.

 

And for a while, when Taylor was more quiet about her politics, they had this notion that she was secretly one of them.

 

You saw this in around 2017, 2018 when literal Nazis like Andrew Anglin or folks from the GamerGate community like Milo Yiannopoulos, were posting these memes that were suggesting that Taylor was secretly a white supremacist.

Unfortunately the clown still gets way too much airtime for his endless BS! 

The Magas are shooting themselves in the foot with this insanity.

Swift will continue to encourage her Swifties to register to vote and when the time comes she will actively endorse Biden over the adjudicated rapist maga fascist buffoon. 

That was going to happen anyway but now they've magnified the impact.

What new support do they get by dissing Swift and the Swifties? Zero. They just massage their bizarro cult. That will not lead to a happy ending for them.

I was thinking the same as I realized this could be an October surprise, setup by the Right wing.

The best part of this right-wing MAGA low-IQ ginned-up conspiracy is that these morons have painted themselves into a corner.

 

Now they have to root AGAINST the middle-American, fly-over state team with a star named "Travis", coached by a universally loved, admired, and respected sexagenarian coach, and root for Nancy Pelosi's hometown team.

 

This Culture War battle has been a devastating and embarrassing loss for the MAGA conspiracy crowd. They have yet to meet a rake they haven't stepped on.

 

Is it Doofuses or Doofii?

i have been on the outskirts of a few    one in Central Pa and one in S East Pa   .  Anger and  impending violence is the theme   -sound familiar ?  I try not to watch anything about him or ever listen to him babble.  I believe intelligent women is by far what they fear most especially independent outspoken intelligent women   -it's a trademark of Fascism.

But really, who cares what pop stars think? If voters are really looking at Taylor Swift for political guidance then frankly they deserve another 4 years of Biden. 

Well said.

Equally dickish in both. I always thought he was appalling well before his political career. You can tell a fraud and a fake. Some can.

 Problem is the crazies on both sides go to far, you're a perfect example.

Always with the ‘both sides are equally bad’. I’m quite sure the crazies are pretty much concentrated on one side of the aisle. MAGA minds seem to have a real knack for coming up with the most outrageous lies and conspiracy theories. Case in point: this insane MAGA conspiracy theory involving Taylor Swift.

She has spread her successful tour income with so many people in a way that is unheard of so for me she is allowed a pedestal to say what her views are on any subject she likes. 

Also as a young woman surely she is entitled to fight for her rights that's democracy or is this only allowed if kid rock or Joe rogan speaks 🤔 

She’s a  Woke rock star  , like Cher, Maddona and Midler.

They use their popularity as celebrity’s

to try to influence their fanatics !

She’s too ditzy for my style! Peace , love and love one another is a fantasy of the Globalist! Imop

I don't mean Trump... some way to get Biden to find a way with dignity, and having had a successful presidency, to pass the baton.

I think you'll find that he was the President of the United States more recently than when he finished reality TV (which was the best part of a decade ago).
