I have a theory that a reason (I know she’s a woman, that is a big factor but beyond that) Taylor Swift has captured so much of the right / MAGA’s fury is because she was *supposed to be an irrepressibly white, blonde mega star with country roots. She also used to refuse to talk politics. Basically…
Yeah, they feel entitled to the white, blond-haired, blue eyed pop star and the lantern-jawed Kansas City football star being on "their side," and they essentially see them as race traitors
Taylor Swift is David Souter
Miranda Lambert is also "no politics," and has supported LGBTQ+ causes. Also irrepressibly white, blonde...star.
The dog whistles about her working for "the Carlyle group AKA Soros" are particularly insane, since that is in fact the group of hedge fund assholes that own the old recording rights she is "Taylor's versioning". She's destroying those guys!
Oh good thoughts!
Remember when /pol freaked the fuck out about her opposing Blackburn because they thought she was secretly a white nationalist?
They aren't scared of Taylor, they are scared of the Swifties who will, in the coming years, be the voters ushering us into a liberal majority across the country, even in traditionally Republican states, because just like her they are sick of patriarchal bullshit.
They ‘think’ she should be part of their cult. She speaks out against them & helps people enrol to vote. She is also vocal against Blackburn.
when Swift first came out the racists were thrilled and claimed her - that caused her to come out strongly against white supremacy. this isn't new
