'What’s happening is not organic': Why the right thinks Taylor Swift is a government PsyOp designed to swing the 2024 election
'What’s happening is not organic': Why the right thinks Taylor Swift is a government PsyOp designed to swing the 2024 election
Supporters of Donald Trump are convinced that the Democratic Party is using Taylor Swift as a PsyOp to 'interfere' in the 2024 election.
You're viewing a single thread.
Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer even claimed that Swift’s entire Eras Tour was nothing more than “a Democrat Party Voter Registration drive
Yes, because the voter registration drive would only 100% register democrats or people who they know will vote democratic. No republicans/GOP voters could possibly get registered.
Well now it’s obvious - the only option is for the GOP to buy all of the tickets to Taylor Swift concerts, thus preventing democrats from being able to register to vote.
Republicans know that the more people who vote then the less chance a Republican has of winning. The Democrats have won the popular vote every single time for the last 20 years. Since 1988 they won 7 in 8 times. That is 2 entire generations of votes.
Oh trust me - I live in Texas. I know this fact all too well, sadly.
2016:
Texas’s Voter-Registration Laws Are Straight Out of the Jim Crow Playbook
Texas treats voter registration like a criminal offense and makes it as difficult as possible to do.
Before he could register anyone, however, Tunde had to navigate Texas’s draconian voter-registration laws, beginning with this course. The state has no online registration, and anyone who registers voters must be deputized by the county at a training session that typically occurs once a month, sometimes less. The volunteer deputy registrars (VDRs), as they’re known, must be deputized on a county-by-county basis, which makes statewide drives practically impossible in a massive state like Texas, with its 254 counties.
We should've let Texas stay Seceded...
We should have kept Texas under military occupation till more Confederate sympathizers were stomped down, and then we should have redrawn the borders of every Southern state and renamed them.
I go back and forth on that one. On one hand, it would be nice to be rid of them and their fuckery as a state.
On the other hand, were they free to become their own country, I fear what additional fuckery they would cause just to torment the US and enable other bad actors by giving them easier access to the US given the proximity of Texas.
I don’t know what would be worse, tbh.
This theory implies that Taylor Swift's entire fan base is Democrats. She's about to get "canceled" by the right. Which... that shit worked with the Dixie Chicks, but I'm not sure it will work as well with TS because she isn't predominantly a country singer any more. They'll wind up politicizing her and creating the left-wing superstar they fear.
Remember when the Dixie Chicks got cancelled for being against...George W. Bush? The right hates the Dixie Chicks for criticizing George W. Bush, and now the right hates George W. Bush because of all the catastrophic wars he started and other unpopular stuff he did that the Dixie Chicks criticized him for. Somewhere in there, through the transitive property, the right just hates itself
But, you see, the outgoing democratic presidency hadn't been in control of those wars yet. So there was no reason to hate the wars at the time.
Even if we pretend her entire voting base were Democrats, and even if we pretend she's going to have a 100% success rate convincing unregistered voters to register, and even if we pretend 100% of all her fans then vote Democrat, she's a private citizen playing the same legal game as every other private citizen is entitled to play. She's not breaking any laws and she's not breaking any rules.
Republicans are entitled to do everything she's doing.
The only thing they can possibly complain about is that the best thing they can come up with to compete is Kid Rock. sadtrombone.jpg
I’m not even a Taylor Swift “fan” - I don’t have any opinion of her music whatsoever. I will date myself and admit that I just don’t really seek out new music anymore…that being said, I am 100% on board with this plan, lol
Fucking with Swifties is touching the 3rd rail, politically speaking.
