Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer even claimed that Swift’s entire Eras Tour was nothing more than “a Democrat Party Voter Registration drive
Yes, because the voter registration drive would only 100% register democrats or people who they know will vote democratic. No republicans/GOP voters could possibly get registered.
Well now it’s obvious - the only option is for the GOP to buy all of the tickets to Taylor Swift concerts, thus preventing democrats from being able to register to vote.
This theory implies that Taylor Swift's entire fan base is Democrats. She's about to get "canceled" by the right. Which... that shit worked with the Dixie Chicks, but I'm not sure it will work as well with TS because she isn't predominantly a country singer any more. They'll wind up politicizing her and creating the left-wing superstar they fear.
Remember when the Dixie Chicks got cancelled for being against...George W. Bush? The right hates the Dixie Chicks for criticizing George W. Bush, and now the right hates George W. Bush because of all the catastrophic wars he started and other unpopular stuff he did that the Dixie Chicks criticized him for. Somewhere in there, through the transitive property, the right just hates itself
But, you see, the outgoing democratic presidency hadn't been in control of those wars yet. So there was no reason to hate the wars at the time.
Even if we pretend her entire voting base were Democrats, and even if we pretend she's going to have a 100% success rate convincing unregistered voters to register, and even if we pretend 100% of all her fans then vote Democrat, she's a private citizen playing the same legal game as every other private citizen is entitled to play. She's not breaking any laws and she's not breaking any rules.
Republicans are entitled to do everything she's doing.
The only thing they can possibly complain about is that the best thing they can come up with to compete is Kid Rock. sadtrombone.jpg
I’m not even a Taylor Swift “fan” - I don’t have any opinion of her music whatsoever. I will date myself and admit that I just don’t really seek out new music anymore…that being said, I am 100% on board with this plan, lol
Fucking with Swifties is touching the 3rd rail, politically speaking.
