Amid reports that the White House is actively seeking the endorsement of Taylor Swift, Fox News stars are freaking out over the prospect that the global superstar may soon toss her support behind President Joe Biden and literally begging her to reconsider.
American politics is very much based on culture rather that for example economic models, thats why we say liberal and conversative instead of capitalist and socialist, it's very culture based.
taylor swift is pure americana, white, blonde, very wholesome in many senses, went to a christian school, says shes a christian... she's very far from what would be the progressive new face that many want for america, is she a tranny? is she of color? does she identify as a cat? her name/surname is very anglosaxan also...
why would she be hated by conservatives when politics and the mega movement is mainly cultural? you might say because she supports liberal causes.
but what young pop star doesnt and didnt?! you can go back to the 1960s, to the beatles even and see young popstars supporting liberal causes, they always have, it's nothing new with this broad.
i think what you're really saying is that because of her fame and power in an age of social media, she could influence millions of people to vote democrat simply by saying she will vote democrat.
and swaying the election. i dunno are you fine with the worlds only true superpower and her democracy being decided by a popstar? for me it's not a democrat/republican thing, is about a childish culture and society that worships these people and would even put the future of the world in their hands....

There is nothing you can do about it. taylor swift and people like her have a huge amount of power, simply by saying something, people will believe it instead of thinking for themselves and making a choice...
Right now today, in 2024 we live in a celebrity obsessed world, i don't care if the celebrity is conservative or liberal... but we really need to create a culture that doesn't worship famous people. the europeans laugh at this stuff, theres a saying that goes along the lines of "only in america do singers and sports people have importance"
we need to change the culture. because if a singer can change the outcome of elections, be it kid rock or taylor swift, then we're f-ked.
personally i can only vote based on inteligence and thinking for myself. i can't do anything about that 22 year old manchild who has a vote, dances to taylor swift and would vote for hitler if "tay-tay" told him to.
I'd agree that trump got to a certain level thanks to his celebrity status, something i don't really like...
but unless we're going to be rosie o'donnell, trump did well in business and did well in international business. that translated well into a economy that improved and for the first time in a very long time a president who didn't start some silly war somewhere that has nothing to do with us. and now thats a fact, unless democrats already see war as a good thing.
so it's different to compare taylor swift with trump, one is good at business and the other sings songs about her exboyfriend.
i would listen to a business man before someone who dances and sings for 12 year old kids showing her ass.
"Allow me to quote a Taylor Swift lyric when I say: you people are out of your fucking minds,” Meyers said on Late Night. “I’m just kidding – that’s not a Taylor Swift lyric. It’s Seth’s version. Seriously, what is wrong with you? This is how much the Republican party has changed: there was a time when a famous singer dating a football player and spending quality time with his family would’ve been their dream."
