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.

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.

Not just more voters. More "wrong" voters. Like young, black, and young black voters.

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

…I’m joking, but am I? Am I really?

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

Remember when the crazies were considered alt right instead of mainstream right?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 9 months ago (8 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think these media companies and personalities actually have any agenda beyond enriching themselves at this point

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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!"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

That's a whole new Era for her next tour.... :P

The onion is getring out of things to publish.

But yeah something that a couple of years appears to be insane now is a reality with the snowflake conservatives

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Not really, fiction has always had to be believable while reality doesn’t

Also onions have long been part of cuisines around the world

The best thing for the class war is internecine warfare among the upper class.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (9 children)

internecine

ˌɪntəˈniːsʌɪn

adjective

destructive to both sides in a conflict

This goes in my mind pocket!

Though I suppose this tactic works whichever class you belong to, and the upper one has the advantage right now by far.

* 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)?

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?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

I think that's when she endorsed some Tennessee Dems.

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.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And she told people to go vote and the right really didn't like that

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They just think women over 30 are worthless.

It is sickening that it has stooped to this level. Just comprehend the number of bigoted points of view expressed there. I could write an essay on that.

It's almost diabolical how refined it is, how much time they took with it. I have been following the development of right wing propaganda for over two decades, and I never fail to get stunned over how blatant it is, and how well engineered.

I would highly recommend to read "Banana Republicans": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/593702.Banana_Republicans

Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Then Manufacturing Consent is essential lore, but the hole goes deep. No other conspiracy theories needed- that is the conspiracy.

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.

Mr. Kelce’s advertisements promoting Pfizer’s Covid vaccine and Bud Light

speculation that Ms. Swift is after Mr. Kelce for his money.

Some say he’s gay https://twitter.com/OwenBenjamin/status/1752422032187470011

I think you are caught up

Edit: Neat the Pentagon had to say it’s stupid

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/02/pentagon-to-maga-world-you-need-to-calm-down-over-taylor-swift-00139292

My favourite quote mentioned in that article courtesy of Fox News

“It’s real. The Pentagon psy-op unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for combating misinformation online,” Watters said.

Because apparently we want misinformation?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why the fuck would the billionaire Taylor Swift be after the millionaire Travis Kelce's money?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You say that like any other part of it makes sense

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.
