Taylor Swift has shattered virtually every major record in the music industry, and as she lives her best life supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she’s also breaking the brains of right-wingers.
For months now, the digital fever swamps have been fuming over everything and anything Swift-related. Her popularity, the success of the Eras Tour, her relationship, her appearances at NFL games, and especially her politics. The Chiefs won the AFC championship on Sunday, punching the team’s (and potentially Swift’s) ticket to the Super Bowl in February. In response, long-standing conspiracy theories around the NFL’s “scriptwriting” for football seasons clashed with right-wing conspiracy theorists claiming Swift’s involvement with Kelce is part of a deep state plot to gin up support for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. The result is as ugly as it is stupid.
Former presidential candidate and MAGA blowhard Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted on Monday that he wondered “who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” adding, “I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”
Trying to defeat these people with arguments is futile. They have checked out from reality long ago.
“Trying to defeat these people with arguments is futile”
ding ding ding. so what do we defeat them with then?
Nobody wants to admit it – least of all, enlightened-centrist Democrats – but the historical answer is “weapons.”
Yes, but that’s history. For some time we have this thing called modern democracy.
Modern democracy is just deciding who is threatened with the weapons. The state is an instrument of force.
The democracy in the US during WWII was hardly any less “modern” than it is now, yet we still justly put down NAZIs like the rabid dogs they are.
Sane media.
how do you propose that we get rid of right wing media?
