Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The only thing that can stop the fascist, criminal, fat, demented, pedophile is a pop star. Very cool, very american.
I mean, this would 100% be the plot of a kids cartoon.
Cool.
Cool cool cool.
Unexpected community.
People who can afford 3000$ tickets can afford to take a day off to vote.
Sorry bro, that just cost you the presidency.
While I have no doubt the swifties can move the needle, I have this feeling that some other recent events have already put him on the path of defeat.
Never inturupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
I feel like most swifties are moderate left to begin with, I doubt many would vote for Donald trump anyways. although becoming an enemy of swifties is the worst pr move someone could ever make
So sick of clickbait articles based on tweets. This article rehashes how Trump used AI/Swift imagery to imply Swiftie support, then quotes tweets from three Swift fans saying they didn't like Trump. That's it. That's the whole ass article.
But but they erupted by saying "Swifties for Trump' obviously don't know who Taylor Swift HATES" and "Oh i just know [Tree Paine] is writing up a GOOD lawsuit". The absolute fury of the eruption came through when some random person said "Real Swifties hate Donald Trump btw".
An absolute and unmitigated ERUPTION of FURY!
Thanks for summarising the ass article for me.
"journalism"
So sick of clickbait articles based on tweets.
Seconded. I really wish that platform would hurry up and tank already.
I hope he does BTS next.
BTS thanking him for making peace with North Korea.
Her fans are mostly millennial white women. They already hate trump in my experience.
Yes, but now they might hate him enough to register to vote and keep him out.
Good, I really hope that they do.
Maybe most of them do, but still:
It's one thing to silently hate him. It's another thing to form an army to destroy him publicly.
That was really stupid ass Don, even for you.
You know she wants to see Harris elected, but I think all the conservative attacks earlier in the year may have convinced her just stay out of the fray. Now she has to come out for Harris because staying silent after this fake endorsement will lead dumbasses to assume she really does endorse the turd.
Of the stars that could afford to do this, it's Swift. She has security as well as loyal fans, the type of fans that you know Trump wishes he had.
She should fully come out and endorse Harris.
You dun fucked up son. xD
He in it now
Call me when someone is getting "slammed".
stable genius top maneuver
Not weird. Totally normal behavior.
Man I hope he can't shake it off.
There's a blank spot, baby, right between his ears.
He’s beyond desperate.
SAD!
To be clear, Swift has yet to endorse either candidate in the 2024 race, but backed the Biden-Harris campaign in 2020 via cookies.
On today's episode of "Is this slang I don't know or literal" (I'm not clicking the Instagram link to find out.)
She baked (or had baked) actual Biden/Harris themed cookies in 2020 that she showed on Instagram.
I kind of want more weird Swift Trump AI art.
I want to let this drag real deep into the mud.
I imagine they would.
