Remember the freaky guy who sued Swift for not performing one of his songs? That’s what conservatives sound like lately about her.
Why was she on the radar 5 years ago?
I think that’s when she endorsed some Tennessee Dems.
Right? I never heard about her until last year.
You’ve never heard of Taylor Swift until last year?
Do you know who Madonna or Michael Jackson are?Sarcasm is dead.
Funny sarcasm is far from dead.
A couple years ago I had a similar reaction with folks saying that Drake (who at that point I had never heard of) was a bigger name than Taylor Swift. I laughed and googled his name only to find out that the claim was not as far fetched as I first imagined. I guess no name is truly universally known.
You had never heard of male ducks? They’re famously rapey.
The people downvoting you either don’t like your humor or are blind about the rapey bastards.
Or they were thinking about dragons
I’ve heard of Pree Madonna but I don’t know what she’s famous for
Wait seriously, like not at all? If so I can only assume you live out of the US or literally under a rock if you do live in the US.
Sarcasm is dead.
Or I just don’t know who you are or what your intent/context was over text on the Internet. Seeing as I’m not the only one a little confused/taken in by your sarcasm it might not have been the greatest punchline.
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.
Not just more voters. More “wrong” voters. Like young, black, and young black voters.
Don’t forget the most dangerous “minority” of all, WOMEN

A movement to repeal the 19th amendment is rumbling underground, and Amy Coney Barrett will lead the way*

*just as Thomas will be the one to write the leading argument to overturn Loving v. Virginia
Loving v. Virginia
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.
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.

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.

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.
More like if they can’t make a good impression, the next best thing is to not talk smack about her at ever opportunity. don’t poke the bull :)
Fair, seems like the common sense strat to take, but we know that they operate totally free and unencumbered from that
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.
I don’t think these media companies and personalities actually have any agenda beyond enriching themselves at this point
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.”
Taylor Swift dressed as Hulk Hogan: “listen up all my Swifty-maniacs, I want you to smash the Fash and punch Nazis, oh and PS: fuck MAGA to death!”
That’s a whole new Era for her next tour… :P
I didn’t know that I need this, but I need this so much.
Remember when the crazies were considered alt right instead of mainstream right?

Huh, what did I miss?
Apparently the 6’8, 260 lb future Hall of Fame professional footballer player she’s dating is gay because… she’s over 30.
Also, she thinks things like women should have a choice over what happens to their bodies and that you should be allowed to use the name you like best so that’s a problem too.
Totally sane and normal stuff.
And she told people to go vote and the right really didn’t like that
Not even “vote Democrat,” she just urged people to vote period. And linked to Vote.org encouraging people to research what would be on their ballot. The fact that the right takes this as an attack on them isn’t surprising to anyone.

Funny thing is they’re both the same age lul. Perfectly normal and reasonable for people to date people their own age. I guess the right just wants to date the cradle.
They just think women over 30 are worthless.

He’s six foot eight? How tall is Swift? Jesus.
Maybe 6’5, but the guy’s an absolute unit.
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.

I think you are caught up
Why the fuck would the billionaire Taylor Swift be after the millionaire Travis Kelce’s money?
You say that like any other part of it makes sense
The others are conspiracy logic, basically “I don’t know so I’m assuming X” but that last one just doesn’t make any sense with known values of wealth.

Lets see if the reddit markdown works and use multiple spaces
Ending with multiple spaces gives you single spaced textSeems to be double line or no lines if you enter only one line spacing.
is there no way to get new line only on lemmy? It’s either single line or dual line (all on one line or one on every second line)?
Not afaik (on jeroba). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does double space at the end of the line not work?

I agree with the good call. Can’t say I’m as fascinated by her receiving more attention than half the NFL teams, tho
Why would you be fascinated by that? She’s probably been more famous than all of the NFL combined for more than a decade. Why wouldn’t she get more attention than them?
I don’t like professional sports or T Swift.
Gun to my head, I would pick T Swift.
This isn’t even about preference, though. Most people would recognize Taylor Swift before they’d recognize any NFL players, even if they hate her music.
Unless that NFL player was also a famous murderer.
All fair points. Just adding my own comment to the previous one.
Blame that on the people who choose to have the cameras aimed at her, not TSwift herself
