    No, misleadingly overspecific, but don’t worry, I fixed it:

    I was just listening to the OAN coverage of this (through another channel commenting on it). You know what genuinely shocked me?

    She’s not even playing the halftime show! They made up this batshit insane conspiracy theory because she’s going to be attending the Superbowl!

    It was some of the most deranged, grotesque propaganda I’ve ever seen. The idea that people take this as serious reporting is genuinely disturbing.

    The disgusting but is that, as far as I can tell, Swift is a genuinely decent person. She’s stayed out of controversy and politics and bullshit.

    So encouraging her fans to vote put a target on her? Fucking disgusting. The press should hound these people, make them say out loud what issue they have with her, arguably patriotic, statement.

      She has never said who to vote for either. Just keeps saying ‘vote’.

      And, apparently, there is a pretty big measurable jump in registrationevery time she puts out a message about it.

        Getting people to participate in democracy is biased against Republicans, duh!

    Let’s pretend for a moment that I believe in the concept of alpha males.

    The constant need to tell people that you are an alpha male is the most beta trait I’ve seen.

    In a world where the theoretical alpha males exist, they don’t need to tell you they are alpha, they show it by their actions.

    Can someone who knows how to make memes make this:

    Take the Kanye West/Taylor Swift VMA speech where he takes her microphone and paste Taylor Swift’s face over Kanye’s, then paste Travis Kelce’s face over 2009 Swift. Then swap her award for a Lombardi trophy.

    Have a caption of her saying “Yo Travis, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Joe Biden is the real winner of the Super Bowl”

      Swift has a good track record of encouraging her fans to vote (in political elections). And some people on the republican/alt right side of the political spectrum disagree with that message apparently.

      I think this qualifies

    Who honestly cares? I don’t like football or Taylor Swift, and I’m a little overdue for my monthly wilderness time to get away from modern bullshit for a couple of days. Soon though.
