    The funniest bit about this Taylor Swift thing if you think about it is that Modern Republicans love the negative attention they get for all of their hateful causes, they literally try to make people outside their in-group hate them for their own amusement. They welcome the rest of America’s disgust of them as a badge of honor. It’s in their rhetoric, threatening “Give me an excuse to shoot somebody” door signs, and “fuck your feelings” bumper stickers.

    They’re blowing a microchip over Taylor because hatred is their brand, positive popularity is something they’ve always shunned and devalued, and now their ENEMIES have most of the popular figures they drove away, leaving them with… well… kid rock.

    They want to be hated, and they want to win, at the same time. So it’s literally offensive and not fair to them, and anything not fair to them is a “conspiracy,” that social popularity is relevant in an election. 😂
