AND NEVER SAYS WHICH SIDE
Voting bad! MAGA good!
...Lumbers off with club to find female
Me want Snu-Snu
You know she's talking to those evil librul women
I bet some of them even have blue hair.
There was a time when blue hair meant old people.
Ah, yes, back when "blue hair day" at a place meant the day when all the old ladies were there.
Not even that hard either...
But regardless of if this makes her push her fans more to vote or not, the swifties view this as an attack on Taylor.
And you don't fuck with Tay Tay. Her fans are about to set something crazy like 99% voter turnout even if she never mentions the election personally.
By all means #GOP, please pick a fight with one of the most well-liked & popular entertainers in the world.
Pick a young one that will be around for a while with youngish fans that will also be around for a while.
I'm sure that is a winning strategy.
I am beginning to become a T Swizzle fan. And I have loved metal my whole life.
I'm a metalhead as well, but you can't deny that her songs are catchy. The MAGA crew just needs to shake it off.
And they wanna call other ppl snowflakes…
A young woman with money, power, and fame, who is unafraid to speak her mind. NO WONDER they hate her.
Who also commands a fuckin sea of people who (in their minds) are everything MAGA is against (which seems to be almost everything at this point).
And also everything they are, ironically.
Hey Vivek, how much have you bet on the Chiefs to win? You know, since it will be rigged. And why aren't you suggesting your fans also bet on the Chiefs?
Vivek: confused ack ack sounds
You have to address his handlers as he just does what they tell him
In a way, you have to feel sorry for them. Back in Reagan's time, you could make an honest case for the need to maintain constant vigilance against the powerful and ruthless Soviet bear. Now they are reduced to attacking singers and woke green candies.
You can still make a case that we need to maintain vigilance against Russia, but they've decided they like Russia now.
I can't tell what point you're trying to make.
What if you found out they actually liked Russia then too?
Crazy talk.
Crazy Bart Simpson "They are all against you Bart, they all must die."
Maybe people are against you because your ideas and policies are not popular. People don't like them. No conspiracy needed.
Any patriotic American would love it if more people participated in our democracy. Republicans don't want the young people to vote. They want to rule us from a minority.
And I don't watch the sports ball, but I know it is not "rigged". Who'd watch a sport that is rigged? And how would they possibly rig it.
Crazy talk.
Both sides are not the same. Trump is running for dictator. Vote out these crazy Republicans.
Who'd watch a sport that is rigged?
Well, plenty of people watch pro wrestling, so this is not the best argument...
Exactly. The NFL is the one of the most popular programs on all of tv, and they’re not looking to jeopardize it. Amazon alone pays the NFL a whopping $1 billion per year for the privilege of streaming the crummy Thursday night time slot.
It was a huge scandal in 2015 when the New England Patriots was accused of intentionally underinflating their footballs to make it slightly easier to catch, leading to a $1 million fine, a four game suspension for Tom Brady, and losing two draft selections. All that over a slightly flat football. The idea that they’d intentionally rig an entire match and risk losing their massive media cash cow is, well, stupid.
Hold up, is there actually a percentage of your population that believes the sentiment above RE: conspiracy?
If that's the case. My god I've got grave concerns for America.
There's a large percentage of our population who believes a magic sky daddy will forgive them for any action they take, as long as they don't blaspheme. Of course they believe in ridiculous conspiracies based on faith alone, they've been primed to think this way ever since they were a child.
Of course, blasphemy is whatever they define it as, so...
About 30% of the population here are like this, yes. And the cool thing is that it's been spreading to other countries. For instance, QAnon spread to Germany. They thought Trump was going to come save them from Merkel.
Don’t forget all the Canadians talking about their first amendment rights
I have a neighbour displaying a confederate army flag in their front window. Fox News should be considered psychological warfare.
I heard of a Canadian trying to exercise their fifth amendment right. Really unfortunate to try in a place without such a right.
I'm American and this is the first time I've seen this 😂
They are a bunch of jealous simps that think she should be with them breeding the next "master race". Conservative political ideology is just a race to the bottom of ethics, morals, justice, society, everything.
Yeah, it's like that and has been for a while. Things are bad here, on that axis.
The fucking ghouls HATE the fact that everyone who's young and hip hate them all and love TS.
Now I'm conflicted. I want the 49ers to win for the Purdy story and to not have the Chiefs be champions yet again. Now I want the Chiefs to win to piss off the right wing crazies.
Hey, be an optimist about it. Whoever wins, you get something that you want!
Yea but, Im a 49er fan. Think about me!
IMO, Jason Kelce is the real star. They should pay him to run around shirtless, pound brews and join tailgates during pregame. Must watch TV.
That's because he's on the Eagles! 🦅
