F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.

    I love the implying the dems when they renew the office will do horrible things they have for some reason waited to do while they have office. Honestly it annoys me people take the what the canidate says they will do things with anything than a grain of salt when its clear the historical precidence has held. tax cuts for rich, deregulation, wars, outlaw abortion go republican. progressive taxes, corpo regulation and monopoly breakup, exiting wars, bodily autonomy go democrat. lambast fed to zero interest so stock market go burr republican, let fed set rates to keep a inflation at a low but not negative rate democrat. (for any repbulicans who don’t understand fed rates obama had them up then trump pushed them down to his term which is why we had the inflation we had which cooled down due to biden allowing for extreme fed action which further makes things bad as you want fed adjustments to be small but that can’t happen when a president spends his term pushing for them to be the opposite of where they should be.)

    “…these children have body parts chopped off.”

    From an abortion? That’s not how it works, Megyn. That’s not how any of this works, you disingenuous dunce.

    ETA: Oh, she’s referring to trans kids? (Thanks for the clarification Dkarma) That makes a bit more sense. But still utter crap.

    Man, I am interested in politics, but I don’t care about pop culture. Now I have to google Taylor Swift (I know the name and I am sure, I’ll also know some songs of her, I just don’t know the cnnections inbetween).

      It’s kind of disappointed At Kid Rock. Even though he was almost cliche he had some anti-establishment vibes for about 5 minutes.

      In fairness neither kid rock nor ted Nugent are relevant enough to convince any significant number of people to vote.

    Celebrities have every right to voice their opinion on national issues.

    And, that is not a “zero risk” position.

    A recent example is the formerly known: “Dixie Chicks”. Research their dilemma.

    And in the past, late 1940’s, Hollywood had a “Blacklist” which was a very serious shit list which fucked over plenty of people.

    Many American celebrities are also citizens with every right to voice their opinion the same as your lawn sign or bumper sticker. Yet, sometimes, it’s a really good thing when those celebrities rally their groupies, Swifties, etc.

    Like almost always, it boils down to others being jealous of the “power” of other people.

    If they didn’t want her to voice her opinion they shouldn’t have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn’t agree with, or make her true opinion known.

          Not defending republicans. Why couldn’t some sneaky democrat realize they could bait her into it with AI art.

          Trump didnt make the art. He is an idiot for sharing it though. Can’t be too hard to get him to retweet something stupid though.

            This is such a hilarious conspiracy theory that person has.

            Here is what happened: Leon put out an image generator that would create images of real people. Donald is desperate for attention. Donald wanted to fantasize what if A-list celebrities liked him, so he typed it in. He then shared it publicly.

              You have a source that says Donald trump made the images with his own prompts? Why wouldnt he be sued for that. Reposting someone else’s images was already risky enough.

              I’ll believe it though if you know where I can read about that.

              Not a conspiracy theory by the way, was just saying ai art from the internet could come from anyone, and shitposters and trolls exist. Theres even a professional board for it called 4chan.

            After eating someone’s dog, the Haitians pressured Trump to post it because they’re criminals. Or something.

              The point I’m making is the art could have come from anyone. Why not a troll or shitposters? 4chan has done stuff like this for literal decades.

                  Never said I was defending what trump did. Just said he could have been duped into it. I actually thought shed sue him over it but I guess the endorsement works.

                Yes, technically it could have come from anyone.
                So let’s give the wannabe fascist republicans the benefit of the doubt, because that has historically been a very double plus good idea to do for authoritarians, and only good things will come from doing so…

                  I don’t think this makes trump look good either way, I’m not defending him.

                  Either he’s an idiot who got tricked into posting something he should have known not to, or he’s an idiot who has idiot friends who sent him something and he posted it.

                  I thought she was going to sue him for it.

        I’m certain Dems did ask her for endorsement, there is no way they wouldn’t have, right? But they didn’t make weird AI images, did they? So it is wildly different and deserves blame and criticism, doesn’t it?

        Donald is like the stereotypical pathetic incel stalker pasting his face over a boyfriend in a photo to add to a weird little shrine. Just really fucking weird and creepy.

          So let’s say I made the AI images. And posted them on republican forums knowing they would eat them up. Keep sending them to bigger and bigger names, make a not farm to make the posts visible.

          Finally I get the big cheetoh to repost it. Boom, I a democrat, have instigated Taylor Swift into endorsing the Democrats.
