The party of rapists, child molesters and murderers is mad at Taylor Swift. She must've done something right. 🤔

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?
Reagan was at least governor of California prior to running for president.
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.

If they didn't want her to voice her opinion they shouldn't have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn't agree with, or make her true opinion known.

Republican rhetoric has constantly endangered innocent people and it is about time they start paying for it.
Was anyone on the left that mad when KidRock or Ted Nugent coming out in support of Dump?
No.
In fairness neither kid rock nor ted Nugent are relevant enough to convince any significant number of people to vote.
if they supported child stone and theodore nugget, they were already on board with the republiKlan agenda
Child Stone and Theodore Nugget has made my evening, thank you.

Megyn Kelly is nasty ~ Donald Trump
Megyn has that short term GOP memory. These people have no soul.
Also, fuck you too Megyn.
Celebrities have every right to voice their opinion on national issues.
And, that is not a "zero risk" position.
A recent example is the formerly known: "Dixie Chicks". Research their dilemma.
And in the past, late 1940's, Hollywood had a "Blacklist" which was a very serious shit list which fucked over plenty of people.
Many American celebrities are also citizens with every right to voice their opinion the same as your lawn sign or bumper sticker. Yet, sometimes, it's a really good thing when those celebrities rally their groupies, Swifties, etc.
Like almost always, it boils down to others being jealous of the "power" of other people.
not beating the "weird" allegations
