Taylor Swift Breaks Political Silence, Endorses TN Democrats
Variety ^ | 10-7-18 | Nyren

Posted on 10/07/2018 5:52:13 PM PDT by wardaddy

Taylor Swift has broken her long-held public political silence in an Instagram post encouraging her followers to vote in the November midterm elections and slamming Republican Tennessee representative Marsha Blackburn.

“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift began the post, which was accompanied by a moody, black-and-white photo of the superstar.

“I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country,” she wrote. “I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.”

“I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,” the post continues.

"This December she'll turn 29 and she's been going non-stop since she started as a teenager. She's gotta feel the clock ticking. "

That has been in the back of my mind for quite a while now.

Oh lord, a Kid from Taylor Swift. Heaven help us. LOL.

"Her endorsement was rather narrow. Not once did she mention the words "Democrat" or "Republican" or "Trump." It was focused only on candidates in Tennessee that she did not identify by party. "

Yes, she said what she wanted to say, but did not insult the opposing view points.

While I really, REALLY disagree with her decision. She felt she needed to speak out and I will simply enjoy your content like I do from other big names entertainers. Still a shame but she was always different.

I guess the lesson here is, be careful who you call friend. I pray Tay-Tay retains her soul in this, when so many others sell it to the literal devil.

"With the new poll showing Blackburn extending her lead, don’t think her timing was very good. "

No it is not.....

Taylor Swift hasn’t broken her so called long-held public political silence by any means.....every Hollywood ‘project’ OWES political capital. Now it’s her turn to pay up!

To be fair she immigrated to TN at age 14 to pimp herself to music execs, though I don't know how much time she's spent there since HS.

What a bizarro world we live in when Taylor Swift goes full Stalinist-terrorist retard and Kanye West is the heroic, revolutionary voice of courage and reason.

I know, right?!!!!!!!! What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a God? What’s a God to a non-believer who don’t believe in anything?

Trump says he likes Swift's music 25% less. LOL

Yes, that is why this wasn't surprising to me.

"Get made part of person of of the year BUT you owe us".

So very sad.

“..What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a God? What’s a God to a non-believer who don’t believe in anything? ...”

That is the Post statement of the Year, Impy.

Damned poooooo-etic, my good brother. :^)

Well, she’s surrounded by Libtards all day and all night long in “Make-Believe Entertainmentworld”, they hammer and harangue, badger, suggest, whine, wail, whisper, and rage constantly, and she’s still young.

So the insanity rubs off. You can’t surround yourself with and wade through Garbage without getting some of it stuck to you.

Not making an excuse for her, as I could care less about her or her music. But it just appeared inevitable.

Ehh. We’ll rebuild and repair Our Country without her.

Hello wardaddy...

Yeah, she does. She sells a lot of records, fame going to her head a little, so she feels compelled now to “speak out”.

That’s her right to do so, I don’t begrudge it. Just a shame that she isn’t using her brain.

Voting for the party of slavery, communism, and idiocy.

She’s surrounded by the cool chicks in Hollywood and Manhattan crowd

They just ape what their handlers and shot callers say which is mostly Red diaper babies and homosexuals and snowflakes

Imagine being openly conservative in thst bunch

It would hurt business no doubt

They even didn’t want to tolerate her being quiet

“..Imagine being openly conservative in that bunch...”

Well, you and I could, a well as most folks here at FR. We’re the type to just say “GFYourself” to that crowd of Hollyweird degenerates.

Not everybody has a pair (figuratively speaking, and literally too...) to be able to do that, so they run with pack.

Not making an excuse for her. She chose her side, she can go down in flames with it for all I care.
