MAGA is straight up losing it after Taylor Swift’s Harris endorsement
“F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”
For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.
…
Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.
The argument that "you shouldn't vote for someone just because your favorite celebrity endorses them" seemed like a much more credible argument before the 2016 election when the winning candidate essentially won by literally being a celebrity.
Prior to 2016, Trump was probably best known for being the host of a reality TV show, and being a "businessman". Taylor Swift is definitely better known, and you could also make a solid argument that she is a better "businessman" as well.
What about Ronald Reagan?
The actor?!
Aww man, I love it when you do Doc Brown.
Yeah, he sucked.
Actually that was Nancy, not Ronald.
They both suck IMO. But yeah, toward the end it was his handlers making the decisions.
I was trying weakly to reference Nancy's rumored penchant for giving head to anyone who asked, but yes - both were warm garbage.
OMG seriously, or was the hyperbole‽ I laugh at imagining Nancy blowing a bunch of people in an attempt to peddle influence.
Iran hostage crisis? Solved with an elderly gumjob.
Oh no, it's serious. Nancy was the BJ Queen of Hollywood. Look it up.
Rule 34 stung me on that one.
Reagan was at least governor of California prior to running for president.
Businesswoman / person
If you note, I put "businessman" in quotes for both of them because it isn't the correct term for either of them. It isn't the correct term for Taylor because it is the wrong pronoun, and it isn't the correct term for Trump because he seems incapable of running a successful business. It was an intentional construct for ironic parallelism, not an oversight.
