Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. (lemmy.ca)

This only makes sense when I realize that to conservatives, it's an identity. They think it's an identity that Taylor Swift should have because she's (presumably) white, popular, rich, good looking, Midwestern, Christian, etc.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or problem solving, or good governance. It's all about identity.

I hope that Taylor Swift makes like a Dollywood type thing.

That would be so awesome.

I'd probably make the trek.

I hope she parks her jet.

It's tribalism, embraced by people who are proud of just barely graduating from animal status.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Could we possibly get an app that actually fucking works on mobile? Piped is bullshit
