Why Trump’s MAGA Republican movement dislikes Taylor Swift
WaPo via MSN ^

Posted on 01/31/2024 6:30:40 PM PST by DoodleBob

…While Swift has made no presidential endorsements, the story sparked ire among right-wing figures, who are now spreading baseless claims about the pop star being a “psyop” — psychological operation — meant to draw voters to the Democratic Party.

Some Republican figures, such as Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, warned that a Swift endorsement of Biden could result in a “tsunami” that “will be very difficult to thwart.” Meanwhile, conservative pundits on Fox News, One America Network and Newsmax spent a lot of airtime discussing Swift this week. Staring directly into the camera on Monday, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro had a message for Swift: “Don’t get involved in politics; we don’t want to see you there.”

Here’s what you need to know about how Swift has gotten under conservatives’ skin:

1. The Biden campaign is reportedly seeking Swift’s endorsement

2. Swift has endorsed Democrats nationwide since 2018 — and said she regrets not endorsing Clinton in 2016

3. Swift is dating NFL star Travis Kelce

4. Swift openly supports equality, abortion rights and LGBTQ rights — issues key to young voters

I don’t dislike her.

She’s found a way to make a millions without killing anyone or making their death look like a suicide.

That said….

I just can’t stand her music. Whenever I hear one of her songs playing on the radio, I play some Lynyrd Skynyrd to drown it out.

I can honestly say I have no idea what’s up with these Taylor Swift stories lately. Liberals seem to be complaining about right wingers complaining about Taylor Swift but I don’t recall any real Swift Hate from the right (or anyone really). I have no strong feelings about her either way.

We all live in a simulation, in 2004 John Kerry was ‘Swift’ boated, and 2024 has ‘Swiftie’ voters.

Her music is vapid and forgettable (like Madonna’s) and she comes off as an arrogant bimbo. Not sure how someone with minimal talent and such little likeability is that famous.

Then again, that also describes Madonna, so...

To be fair, after Buckingham played guitar on a song where Nicks called him an asshole, he then got to sing the next song where he pretty much called Nicks a whore.

The triggered right will walk right into this.

It’s stupid. Just leave it alone.

I had no opinion to give on her. If you asked me for the honest opinion, I would have said that she’s probably not the worst influence the young can have.

This is an article that is written to create bias against MAGA in those who follow Taylor Swift.

“Swift openly supports equality”

Comrade Swift has a strange notion of equality judging by her ticket prices.

I don’t think anyone has a beef...it’s just that it’s obvious the media is pushing her into the public eye because she spoke up for leftist issues instead of keeping her mouth shut like she was and not taking sides.

Joe Biden stinks so lets talk about Taylor Swift instead and make people think its Taylor Swift versus Donald Trump this year.

It's entirely manufactured by the left with a very small number of retards on the right stepping in it on social media.

They're trying to provoke an anti-Swift tirade from Trump on Truth Social that they can milk for rage.

I can’t say I’ve heard any of her songs.

I’m sure I’d still prefer Barbara Hendricks in “Les Pêcheurs de Perles” and Maria Callas in “Carmen”.

Most MAGA types don’t really care, might be mildly annoyed by the overexposure.

She probably thinks Biden actually won the election.

I'm not famiiar with her music, but judging from the comments on this thread, I'm not missing much. I think I'll stick with Vaughn De Leath, Marion Harris, Ruth Etting and Vera Lynn.

She tried, but the Left called her a Nazi enabler, a closet Trump supporter, and threatened her with cancellation.

Let her endorse Biden. I think most Swifties are pre-teen girls (not born with a wiener). I like that she doesn’t hang her boobs and her whoo whoo into the camera like JLO did during a superblow hafl time show. That was crass.

I do have dyslexia
